Section 3: Operation and Maintenance
!
DO NOT USE ANY WATER FROM THE SYSTEM UNTIL THE NEXT STEP IS
COMPLETE.
1. With the plumbing complete and the cartridges loaded, your filter system is ready for a
pressure test. If a bypass has been installed, turn off the bypass valve.
2. Open a faucet nearby in the plumbing system. Open the downstream (outlet) shut-off
valve on the filter system. Slowly open the upstream (inlet) shut-off valve until fully
open. You will hear water filling the filter housings and will soon begin flowing from the
faucet that has been opened.
3. Let the system free-flow to the faucet for 10 minutes. This will allow any carbon fines from
new carbon cartridges to be flushed clear. While flushing, check for plumbing or housing
leaks and repair if necessary.
4. When system flushing is complete, close the open faucet. Check again for leaks
around the filter system – it is now under full system water pressure. Repair if necessary.
