SANITIZING THE RO SYSTEM
Sanitizing is recommended upon installation of the RO system, and after servicing the cartridges.
It is
important for the service person to have clean hands to keep the system clean.
You will need an
eyedropper and common household bleach (5.25%). Refer to Fig. 8 on page 10.
1. Be sure the water supply to the RO is turned off. Open the storage tank shutoff valve and the
RO faucet until the water stops running to relieve pressure.
2. Turn the prefilter cartridge to the left and pull downward to remove.
3. Use the eyedropper to add 1 teaspoonful (about 5 ml.) of the bleach into the center hole at the top of
the new prefilter cartridge.
4. Replace the prefilter, turning to the right to lock in place.
5. Repeat steps 2,3 and 4 with the new post filter.
6. Turn on the water supply to the RO and be sure the tank shutoff valve is open. Close the RO faucet.
7. Allow water to circulate through the RO system for 6 hours.
8. After the 6 hours, open the RO faucet and lock the lever upward, against the spout. Run water until the
storage tank is completely empty and the bleach odor is gone.
9. Close the RO faucet after water flow stops.
LEAK AT FAUCET
If the sink p-trap is used as the drain point, RO reject water is routed to the faucet air-gap through 1/4" tubing.
It gravity drains from the faucet through 3/8" tubing to the drain point. The hole in the faucet body, below the
lever, is the air-gap vent. If the 3/8" tubing is restricted in any way, reject water will backup and leak from the
faucet vent hole. Thoroughly clean the tubing and the p-trap fitting if leakage occurs at the vent hole.
ELECTRONIC OPTION
When the RO faucet is opened:
FLASHING
GREEN
"OK
"
- This flashing light indicates the RO system is providing high quality
drinking water.
FLASHING
RED
"CHANGE
"
–
The recommended service life of the
prefilter and post filter cartridge
will vary for a given feed water. The red light begins to flash at the end of a 6 month period, or 900
gallons of product water use., to indicate replacement of the filters may be needed. The 6 month
period is reset by removing and replacing the batteries in the electronic box.
FLASHING
AMBER
"CHECK"
- When the RO cartridge no longer rejects at least 75% of the total
dissolved solids from the supply water, the amber light flashes as water is drawn from the faucet,
Note: Disregard initial or occasional short periods of the flashing amber light.
