System Activation
1. Check all tubing connections to ensure they are firmly seated. CHECK TO SEE THAT THE CARTRIDGE RETAINER CLIPS
AND LOCKS ARE PROPERLY ENGAGED. Failure to keep the retaining clips in place could result in accidental leaks and flood-
ing.
2. Open the dispensing faucet at the sink. Close the tank shut-off valve.
3. Open the feed water valve to the system. Observe all tubing and connections for several minutes to detect any leaks.
In approximately 5 minutes, (assuming normal feed water pressure) the dispensing faucet should begin dripping.
4. Place a pan or other tempo rary water basin near the drain 'P' trap. Loosen the connector nut holding the 3/8" tube
in the drain saddle connec tor. Pull the tube out of the connector and use the pan to catch any water that may spill. Brine
water should be flowing from the tube. Reconnect the tube to the drain saddle and hand-tight en the connector nut.
5. Allow the faucet to run for up to 15 minutes, then close the faucet.
6. Check connections for leaks.
7. Open the tank shut-off valve.
Initial Flushing Procedure
1. Before the system can be used for drinking water production it must be adequately flushed. Each reservoir tank is
dosed with a small amount of powdered chlorinated sanitizer before shipment in order to ensure tank internal cleanliness.
Also, the carbon filter cartridges will release a small amount of carbon fines during the first tankful of flow. This flushing
procedure will allow any sanitizer or carbon fines to pass from the system.
2. Initial tank filling will take approximately two and one half hours (based on average feed pressure). When the tank is
full, the water pressure will have risen to the point where the automatic shut-off valve inside the unit will stop the feed flow
through the system. Actuation of the automatic shut-off valve can be determined by checking for a lack of brine flow to the
drain saddle. When the tank has filled for the first time, it should be left undisturbed for at least 8 hours to ensure proper
sanitization.
3. After 8 hours have elapsed, open the dispensing faucet fully and allow the product water to run out to drain at maxi-
mum flow. The initial discharge will be dark with the bulk of the carbon particle wash out. There may also be the scent of
chlorinated water from the sanitizing agent. When the flow has diminished to a fast drip or small stream, close the dispens-
ing faucet.
4. Fill and flush the tank at least three times prior to use. If necessary, repeat until the chlorination scent has disappeared.
It is important that the flush be done at maximum flow (e.g. the tank must be full) to assist in rapid wash out. After this
flushing procedure the system is ready for normal use.
