NOTE: Before any service is performed on the R.O.
system, always turn off ice maker valve and the ice
maker unit. Only turn on when system is operating
and tank is full.
J. Start up the System
1) Double check that all connections are
secure.
2) Open the feed water valve and check for
leaks. If any leaks are noted, turn off valve
and correct before proceeding.
3) Open the storage tank valve and open the
faucet until a steady stream of water flows.
Close faucet, wait at least 5 minutes and
carefully check for leaks. Correct as
necessary.
K. Flush System of Preservative and Check
Operation
1) Lift faucet handle and allow tank to drain
completely of sanitizing solution. DO NOT
USE THIS WATER. When tank is empty,
the faucet will steadily drip. This is the rate
water is produced by the RO system.
2)
With faucet handle in “up” position, measure
the rate of the steady drip from spout. Use a
graduated cylinder (in milliliters) and watch
with a second hand to calculate
approximate production in gallons per day
(milliliters per minute X 0.38 = gpd).
Proceed to check reject flow rate by
disconnecting tubing at drain connection
and measure as per above. The ratio
should be a minimum of 2.5 (reject) to 1
(product).
3) Close faucet and re-inspect system for
leaks. Instruct customer to wait at least 4
hours and drain tank again. The water
should be discarded as it may contain some
preservative/disinfectant chemicals.
4) System should be ready to use as soon as
the tank refills. If any objectionable taste is
noticed after second tank draining, instruct
customer to wait and drain tank the
following day.
5)
The accessory pack contains a tee fitting to
connect a refrigerator water dispenser or ice
maker, if desired. Prior to connecting
additional devices to this reverse osmosis
system refer to manufacturer’s
recommendations to ensure that water
quality and pressure are within the
recommended limitations. If one is
connected to the system, an ice maker
should be turned on only AFTER the
flushing procedure.
NOTE:
All factory assembled components were
pressure tested for leaks. Prior to
leaving the unit unattended,
check all fittings and tubing
connections for leaks. The
accessory pack contains
replacement o-rings for the
membrane housing and quick
change filters, as well as a
replacement swivel connector, if
needed.
See page 13 to correct leaks at
tubing connections.
