mended after servicing inner parts. It is important that
the person installing or servicing the system have
clean hands while handling inner parts of the system.
Complete the following steps to sanitize the system.
See Fig. 22.

. Make sure that the water supply to the Reverse
Osmosis system is off.
2
. Open the Reverse Osmosis faucet. If the tank is not
already empty, allow the water to empty.

. Locate the eyedropper included in the parts bag and
common household bleach.
4
. Add 3 ml. of bleach into open end of yellow tubing.
Handle bleach according to bleach manufacturer’s
recommendations. See Fig. 22.
