leaks, turn off cold water supply and fix the 
leak. 

 

IMPORTANT!! 

Ensure that the ball valve on 

the storage tank is open. This means that the 
valve handle is in line with the white tubing.  

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
1. 

Lift the reverse osmosis faucet handle until it 
locks in the upright position. Let the water 
drip for two hours. After 2 hours, turn off the 
reverse osmosis faucet. The tank will now fill, 
which takes approximately four to five hours. 

 
2. 

After the tank has filled, open the faucet and 
drain all the water from the tank until it is 
empty. 

 

CAUTION!!  

DO NOT USE FIRST TANK OF 

WATER FROM YOUR SYSTEM!  The 
membrane contains a food grade 
preservative to protect it while in storage.  
This preservative is not harmful; however, it 
does not have a pleasant taste. Therefore, do 
not use the first tank of water, which flushes 
the entire system removing any preservatives 
used during storage and preparing it to 
produce quality water. 

 
3. 

Within two to three hours after draining the 
first tank of water, the water is ready for 
drinking.
