To ensure that the highest quality water is produced
from the system, the plumbing leading from the filter
system must be flushed clear of all debris after the sys-
tem is hooked up. After making the connection to the
outlet of the filter system, open a faucet or tap closest
to the filter system, then slowly open the inlet water
valve. Allow the pipe to flush until all debris is removed.
The unit also must be flushed to remove air and the
shipping/storage solution. For maximum quality, the
permeate water produced during the flushing procedure
must be discarded. Direct this permeate water to drain.
nOte: Ultra filter cartridge must be rinsed to drain
before use. rinsing to drain removes storage solution
and air. Do nOt rinse into carbon if present. carbon
life and/or performance may be affected.
1. Plug the power cord into the appropriate electri-
cal outlet. The display will power on and the LED
display will display the following for about two sec-
onds each:
•
8.8
•
F8
followed by its time settings in seconds
•
Fi
and its time setting in minutes or hours.
The
F8
and
Fi
sequence repeats for 30 seconds
after which the unit automatically returns to the
Flush Interval Mode (
Fi
). The time setting for
Fi
will
be displayed and the decimal point will flash in one
second intervals.
2. Open the tap or faucet closest downstream to the
filter system.
3. Slowly open the inlet water valve and allow water
to enter the system.

4. Press and hold the
start
button. After 6-7 sec-
onds, the drain valve will open and
FL
will appear
on the display.
5. Continue holding the
start
button down for at
least 30 seconds to keep the drain open. This
flushes air out of the center of the hollow fibers.
The drain will remain open as long as the Start
button is pressed. Check to make sure that the
drain water is directed into the drain without
splashing.
6. Release the
start
button. This closes the drain
valve. Water should continue to flow through the
system and out of the open tap. Allow water to
flow out of the tap for at least 15 minutes at maxi-
mum flow rate.
7. Close the tap and let the system stand with no
water flow for 15 minutes to allow any trapped air
to come out of the hollow fibers. Check for leaks
at all fittings.
8. After 15 minutes without water flow, open the
tap for 5 minutes to allow any trapped air to be
flushed out.
9. Close the tap. Flushing is complete.
