START UP
Open the plastic wing valve (see <fig.3>) two full turns (counterclockwise). And slowly turn
on the cold water.
NOTE: Do not allow hot water to enter the unit. This will permanently damage the
membrane.
Water will fill the unit and also flow from the bottom outlet of the wing valve.
Do not completely shut off the reject water. This will damage the membrane.
The reservoir will slowly fill. The rate at which the reservoir fills will vary with water
pressure and water temperature. Typical water production will be
3
⁄
4
to 1 gallon per hour.
Discard the first two full reservoirs before using. This will insure that any loose filter material
is flushed from the system prior to use.
NOTE: 1. Do not connect to hot water.
2. Do not allow to freeze.
3. Do not restrict the reject flow (wing valve) beyond 4-6 oz
per 30 seconds (110-200 ml/30 seconds)
