Step 5 – Start-Up
1. Sanitize the storage tank.
2. Check system to verify all components are correctly installed
3. Open inlet valve and tank valve.
4. Check system thoroughly for leaks. If any are found, shut off both inlet and tank valves and correct the issue.
5. Allow system to run & fill tank for 1-2 hours. You will hear the water running to drain while the unit is running.
Once the water stops running to drain the tank is full.
6. Open faucet to flush carbon fines & sanitization solution. Once the flow begins to slow down (around 20
minutes after opening) turn off the faucet.
7. Allow the tank to fill completely again.
8. Once full, open the faucet and allow the water to run for 24 hours to break-in the RO membrane and
completely flush the system. This will allow your system to run at optimal efficiency.
9. Close faucet and allow tank to fill.
10. System is ready to use
4. Attach 1/4” black tube by slipping the tube through the black compression nut and hand tighten the nut on to
the saddle valve.
Many homes are equipped with disposals and
dishwashers. Home drain plumbing must be free of
any blockage since this may cause a backup of
dishwasher and disposal waste into the drain line
and result in improper performance. To perform a
simple drain check, fill the sink basin with several
inches of water, pull the plug, and observe the drainage.
If water backs up into the second sink (if present), or
if drainage is slow or there is excessive gurgling, drain
blockage may be present. Undersink drain plumbing
usually resembles one of the following descriptions.
In all cases, the drain tubing from RO membrane filter should run downward, free of dips and loops. This can
vent sewer gas, which will produce foul odors.
CAUTION!
The drill should be kept straight and centered to avoid damaging the saddle valve.
