Start up Instructions
If you have connected your RO system to a refrigerator / ice maker, make sure the ice maker is
off (do not allow water to flow to the ice maker) until flushing (Step 4) is complete and the tank
has been allowed to fill completely. Connection from the RO to the ice maker system should
have an in-line valve installed before the ice maker so it can easily be closed to prevent water
flowing to the ice maker during start up and periodic maintenance. Your storage tank must be
allowed to fill up fully in order for the ice maker system to work properly.
After the storage tank has filled (the water trickling to the drain has stopped), open the RO
Faucet to flush the tank completely. You will know that the tank is empty when the flow rate
from the RO faucet is down to a trickle. Repeat this step two more times. The fourth tank
can be used for drinking.
Open the RO faucet and leave it open until water begins to trickle out (this may take a few
minutes and the water will come out slowly).
Step 4
Turn on the incoming cold water at the angle stop valve and the
Adapt-a-Valve. Check the system for leaks and tighten any fittings
as necessary. (Check frequently over the next 24 hours to ensure
no leaks are present).
Step 3
Step 2
Note:
Step 1
Close the RO faucet allowing the storage tank to fill with water. It may take 3 to 6 hours to
fill the tank completely depending on the production capability of the membrane, local water
temperature and water pressure.
Flushing of the tank 3 times is only necessary during the initial startup and after replacing the
membrane.
During the fill period you may hear water trickling which is a normal occurrence.

Congratulations!
You have completed the installation of your new Reverse Osmosis system.
Please Follow the Startup Instructions.
The flushing process should take about a day to complete.
