Activation, Maintenance, Filter Change
Activating the System for the first time
Make sure all water supply/drain lines are
secure and free from leakage.
Open the water supply. If you are using the
self-piercing valve, slowly turn the saddle valve
counter clockwise until fully open. Check stem
seal for leakage. If necessary tighten stem nut
lightly.
Turn storage tank valve one quarter turn
counter clockwise to open the valve (the
handle should be in line with the tubing as
it enters the connection).
Open the product water faucet and let the
water flow until all the air has been
expelled from the system. This will take
about an hour.
Close the product water faucet. In 30
minutes, check the connections for leaks
and correct if necessary.

When you go on holiday
If you go on holiday for longer than 3 weeks it is advisable to remove the membrane
for the duration of your absence. To do this, proceed as follows:
1. Switch off feed supply under the sink.
2. Empty tank and switch off tank.
3. Detach tube to membrane housing cap.
4. Screw off cap and remove membrane. Take care not to touch membrane with your
hands, latex gloves are recommended.
5. Place membrane in a Ziploc type freezer bag and place bag in the fridge.
6. DO NOT PLACE BAG IN THE FREEZER!
Do not use the first two Reservoirs of Water
Allow the reservoir to fill for 4-6 hours. Dispense this water to drain. This process
removes the factory installed sanitizing solution from the entire system and sends it
to the drain. Repeat this process one more time. Allow the tank to fill for 4-6 hours
and dispense this water to the drain.
