•The Dispensing Faucet should be open,
slowly open the Feed Water Saddle Valve.
•As soon as water begins to drip out of the
Dispensing Faucet, close the Faucet.
•Let the system stand for 15 minutes.
•At the end of 15 minutes, in the following
order, close the Feed Water Saddle Valve,
close the Holding Tank Valve and open the
Dispensing Faucet to release the pressure.
•Remove the Sediment Prefilter Housing and
empty. Remove the wrapping and install
