Start - up Procedure
Before the WOW RO System is operational, it must be properly primed by removing all air from
the unit.
Purging the system:
A. Make sure the RO faucet and all other outlets using an isolation valve are CLOSED.
B. Turn feed water adapter Valve and emergency shut - off valve on. Notice the sound of water
filling the system.
C. Within 3 - 4 minutes, the waste line from the system will open with a noticeable exhaust of air
and water.
D. After waiting another minute, open RO faucet. Notice air/water exhausting from faucet port.
Wait for a steady stream of water and then CLOSE the faucet.
E. Within 2 minutes, the waste port will open again with a shot of air/water exhausting. At this
point, let the tank fill for approximately 45 minutes.
F. After system shuts down (indicated by no audible or visible drain flow), open RO faucet and
empty system to a trickle. At this point, the system should have generated a full gallon and a
half of water. If not, see Note 1 below or refer to Troubleshooting Guide (Page 35).
G. Turn off RO faucet and let water make - up process refill tank (approximately 45 minutes).
H. The unit is operational, but it is required to repeat this process (Steps F & G) five times to com-
pletely prep and flush filter cartridges and ensure TDS levels are at their minimums. This will
guarantee the best tasting water immediately.
I. System is now fully operational! If system does not work, refer to Troubleshooting Guide.
Note 1: If your connections along any FA lines have a leak (even one drop), the system
will not work. Repair leak and repeat Start - up Procedure.
Note 2: See Pages 15 - 21 if adding any appliances.
Note 3: Unlike traditional captive air RO systems, the WOW RO System will always have
water in the tank. This fact does not change the need to follow Steps A - F for start - up.
