INSTALLING BALL VALVE ON TANK
STEP 1. If there is not Teflon tape applied to the nipple on the tank, wrap (7-12 turns)
around the pipe threads (MPT) on the Stainless Steel fitting.
STEP 2. Thread the Ball Valve (supplied in the parts bag) onto the stainless steel nipple
on top of the tank. Hand tighten only.
NOTE: The storage tank is pressurized with air at the factory to 6 psi with the tank totally drained. Over a period of
time, air may leak out causing the delivery rate of the stored water to decrease. If this occurs, verify correct tank
pressure using a low pressure air gauge on the tire valve stem located on the bottom, or near the flange at the
top of the tank with tank completely empty of water and faucet opened.
Refer to operation and maintenance on page 12.
MOUNTING SYSTEMS INSTALLATION
STEP 1. Determine best location for the RO system to be
mounted to allow for future system maintenance.
Use two (2) self - tapping (or wood) screws and
a Phillips screwdriver. Measure the distance
between the key hole slots on the back of the
bracket and install screws . Leave enough space
and tubing so that you can pull the system out
for maintenance.
STARTUP PROCEDURES
1. Slowly turn the cold water supply to full flow. Check for leaks.
2. Turn the valve on the storage tank to the “OFF” position and open the faucet.
3. Watch the clear housings fill with water. When water comes out of the faucet, turn the faucet off. The system will
pressurize rapidly and should shut off with a “click”.
NOTE:
It is important that air is purged from system during initial operation. To do this, orient the RO unit with the
product (permeate) and reject (brine) water ports pointing upwards. (Round end of RO membrane housing
is up, prefilter housings are horizontal). Allow a minimum of 10 minutes operation with this orientation.
4. Look for leaks and do not leave the system alone until you are sure there are no leaks.
Now, turn the valve on
the tank to the “ON” position.
5. Before using the system, allow three tank fillings to occur, then flushing the contents between each filling by locking
the faucet lever to the open position until drained.
6. Wait for an hour before drawing water from of the faucet.
Note: NEVER RUN HOT WATER (>100°F) THROUGH THE SYSTEM.
