7) System start-up and purging
Before using RO unit for normal filtration you have to disinfect and rinse the RO unit. You
have received a disinfection capsule together with the installation kit. Use this capsule to
disinfect the inside of the storage tank as well as the tube and faucet located after the
storage tank.
0. See on page 19 how to insert disinfection capsule into storage tank and do this before
starting with the system start-up described here.
1. Check all tubing to be sure there are no kinks or obstructions.
2. Turn the storage tank valve to OFF position.
3. Turn RO faucet lever to continuous flow ON position.
4. Turn the cold water supply main valve on slowly. When the system is pressurized, check
for leaks.
5. You will hear the air purging from the system and within 5 minutes, the water should start
dripping from the RO faucet.
Once the water starts to drip, allow 20 more minutes for the water to flow through the system
and purge all the air trapped inside the system.
6. After 10 minutes, turn the storage tank valve to the ON position (handle is parallel to the
tubing)
7. Turn the RO faucet handle to the OFF position. Now the purified water will start flowing
into the storage tank.
8. Wait until the storage tank is filled with water. This may take approx. 1-1 ½ hours. The
auto shut-off valve will stop the system when the tank is full.
9. For the next 12 hours don’t use the RO unit.
IMPORTANT Make sure nobody drinks the water with the disinfection media from the RO
unit. The disinfection capsule is the product Micropur MC 10 T from the manufacturer
Katadyn.
IMPORTANT: YOU MUST PURGE THE FIRST TWO TANKS OF WATER FROM THE
SYSTEM PRIOR TO CONSUMPTION OF THE PRODUCT WATER. Allow the storage tank
to fill for 2 hours. Then.
DO NOT DRINK THE FIRST BATCH OF WATER PRODUCED BY THE SYSTEM.
10. After 12 hours open the faucet until the tank is empty and the flow just drips from the
faucet.
11. After discharging the tank, turn the RO faucet to OFF position. Now the RO system is
refilling the tank.
12. After the tank is filled up again, purge again, refill and then you can start enjoy the pure
water. Job Well Done!
