7. Complete the Installation
• If a 24 hour-flush pre-installation is not performed by your local
dealer, it is important to open the faucet and let the system run to drain
for 24 hours first.
• After the 24 hour water flush , close the Ultrefiner II faucet and allow
the storage tank to fill with water. When the storage tank is full, the
system will be ready for operation.
Routine System Maintenance
If the incoming water to your Ultrefiner II system is very poor (for
example: high hardness, high dissolved solids, high iron), you can help
maintain the system's operation by periodically performing this flushing
procedure:
Drain Your Storage Tank
Open the Ultrefiner II faucet and let the water run until the flow turns
into small drips. Close the Ultrefiner II faucet. The Drain flow will
continue to run until your tank has been refilled.
Flush the Membrane And Drain Line
While refilling your storage tank, turn the Drain Dial to the F position.
(See Figure 12 on Page 11.) This will increase the volume of drain water
flushing through the membrane. Once your tank has refilled (typically 2
-3 hours), the Drain flow will shut off. You should then turn the Drain
Dial back to its previous setting.
