5.0 BEFORE USING YOUR DISPENSING SYSTEM
This section includes instructions for initial installation and start-up of the unit. Described herein are selection of
unit location, unit unpackaging, and connection of unit to the water and electrical supplies. Also described are
cartridge installation, purging of trapped air, and initial flush.
5.1 Setup
•
Select a location for the unit which is in close proximity to the water supply and electrical supply
connections. If the unit has been purchased with the
WALL MOUNTING
option, select a wall which will
support a 55 pound load on 16 inch stud centers or provide wall backing material.
•
If the water supply does not already have an isolation valve for servicing the ARIES, install one ahead of
the unit connection.
•
Carefully remove all of the packaging material and tape used for shipping purposes, and position the unit
in its operating location.
•
Install the nipple and right angle valve into the unit outlet
•
Install the final filter into the outlet valve.
•
Using the tube fittings provided with the unit, connect the unit inlet to the water supply.
( DO NOT open the supply isolation valve at this time.)
5.2 Installing the Cartridges
•
There are three (3) cartridge positions. The water flows from left to right. Any pretreatment filters must
be installed in position #1 (furthest from the display) and a polishing filter must be installed in position
#3 (closest to the display).
•
Locate the water purifying cartridges selected for your system. Unwrap the filters, remove the shipping
plugs and affix the labels.
•
Place the large opening at the bottom of the filter onto the plunger. Push the cartridge down and tilt
back until the filter is aligned with the top post. Allow the filter to slide up over the upper fitting and
gently rotate left and right to insure a good seal with the top and bottom O-rings.
•
Repeat above procedure for filters #2 and #3.
•
Filters should always be installed in the 1,2,3 order and removed in reverse – 3,2,1.
5.3 Start up procedure
•
Plug in the unit. The electrical outlet should be properly grounded and fused.
•
Open Outlet valve and place a container underneath
•
Slowly turn on the water supply to the unit and correct any leaks at the supply connections.
•
Turn unit on at the power switch and allow water to flow. Water will be visible filling the cartridges upflow
from the left to the right. Allow the air to bleed from the system thought the outlet valve and into the
container.
•
When all air has been purged from the system close the outlet valve and the system will run normally.
•
Check connections and cartridges for leaks.
