Annual Sanitization
Procedure for Extended Non-Use (More than 2 months)
Turn off the cold water supply to your RO system, unplug power transformer from electrical
outlet and open the RO faucet to drain the storage tank. Once the storage tank is empty,
remove all filter cartridges (order not important), place them into a sealed plastic bag and
store in your refrigerator.
To Restart System:
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 the tank has been allowed
to completely fill.
After the Tank has filled, 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. The second tank
can be used for drinking.
Open the RO faucet and leave it open until water begins to trickle out (it will come out
slowly).
Step 5
Turn on the cold water supply to your RO system. Plug in the transformer,
(Check frequently over the next 24 hours to ensure no leaks are present).

Close the RO faucet allowing the storage tank to fill with water.
It may take 2 to 4 hours to
fill the tank completely depending on the production capability of the membrane, local water
temperature and water pressure.
Reinstall all filters on to the RO unit. Filters are color coded to match the filter heads they
snap in to. Refer to page 12 step three for cartridge installation procedure.

Note:
Using a clean eye dropper insert ½ teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide or
common household bleach into the blue tube. This will flow into the
tank once water is turned back on to unit. Reattach blue tube to the
ball valve. Follow start up procedure and drain two full tanks of water.
