Sanitizing the System and Lines
The plumbing must be sanitized to eliminate possible
contamination that may have occurred during the installation
process.
One ounce (30 ml) of liquid chlorine bleach (regular bleach,
unscented 5.25 % - 6 % sodium hypochlorite) or Kay-5 sanitizer
solution (Sodium Dichloro-s-Triazinetrione Dihydrate, 6%) or
equivalent can be used to sanitize the plumbing.
The Kay-5 sanitizer solution is made by dissolving a 1 oz. packet
of Kay-5 powder in 2 oz. (60 ml) of clean warm water. This can
be done by removing 1 inch from the top of the Kay-5 packet and
adding the 2 oz. of warm water to the packet. Mix with a coffee
stirrer to dissolve. When added to the system, this will create a
60-100 ppm chlorine solution.
NOTE:
Follow the handling and safety instructions
supplied with the sanitizer.
NOTE:
Sanitizing kit is NOT supplied.

Rinsing the UltraFilter Cartridge
The UltraFilter Cartridge comes pre-installed in the UFL
system. The UltraFilter Cartridge must be rinsed before the
system is used to remove any air and protective solution.
NOTE:
UltraFilter 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.
NOTE:
DO NOT consume water used during this process.
