ACTIVATION, TROUBLESHOOTING, MAINTENANCE
Activating the System For the First Time
Connect the feed line if fed from a chlorinated city
water source, to the storage tank connection. If feed
line is fed from a fresh water storage tank or a non
chlorinated water supply, procure a thin ended medi-
cine dropper and drop three to five drops of plain
unscented laundry bleach into the tubing or an open
ball valve on top of tank. The ball valve handle is in
line with the connection port when open. Connect
tubing to pressurized water source and turn water
on. When tank is full, it will feel heavy. Close the
ball valve and remove system feed tube.
Make sure all water supply & drain lines
are secure and free from leakage. Slowly
turn the system feed valve to on position.
Connect tank line to tank. Open faucet by lifting handle to
allow the air out of the system. Slowly open feed water
valve to system.
Open the tank valve and drain through the open faucet.
This will flush the post filter and pressurize the post mem-
brane side of your system. Once water has stopped run-
ning from the tank, leave faucet handle in the open posi-
tion until all air is out of the system, and water is con-
stantly dripping from the end of the faucet.
Close the faucet and allow 1/2 hour for system to pressur-
ize the tank. Again check for leaks at all connections. Tank
should be full in approximately 1-1.5 hours. Leave tank
valve open.
Do Not Use the First Two Fills of the Tank Reservoir
Allow the RO Tank two fills (1.5-2.5 hours each, dependant on pressure) and drain both fills to drain
through faucet. This will remove factory installed sanitizing solution from the entire system. The sanitiz-
ing solution is of course non toxic, yet should be removed prior to routine use of this appliance. A single
flush of the system should suffice, nevertheless we suggest a double flush on start up and after pickling
Maintenance
1)
Close the ball valve on top of the storage tank(s). NOTE: If your vessel has additional storage tanks
in remote locations such as Fly-Bridge, Wet Bar or Master Suite, make sure all tank valves are
closed.
2)
Open Faucet(s) at galley and any remote locations, to relieve pressure from the system. Standard
faucets will remain open when handle is lifted to up (on) position.
3)
Remove the Pre-Filter by turning counter clockwise. Removal of the pre-filter automatically shuts
off the feed water supply. You may close the feed water shut off valve if so desired, for added as-
surance.
4)
Remove the Post Filter by turning counterclockwise.
5)
Install new replacement post filter. (Use activated carbon post filter only) Available through our
distributor. Element threads on clockwise. Do not over-tighten as a snug fit with the “O” rings will
provide a proper seal.
6)
Install the new Pre-Filter. Thread into housing clockwise, without over tightening, to achieve an
“O” ring seal. Replacing the Pre-Filter will re-actuate the feed water automatically. If you closed
any feed water valves, re-open them. Close all faucet handles.
7)
Open the Ball Valves on all the storage tanks throughout the vessel. Check for leaks.
8)
Open faucet once again, and empty the storage tank(s). This will flush the Post Filters and allow
for a fresh tank fill with newly cartridges.
9)
Allow 1.5-2.5 hours for tanks to be replenished with a fresh fill of highly pure water.
THIS MAINTENANCE SHOULD BE PERFORMED EVERY 6 MONTHS TO 1 YEAR
OR AS NECESSARY
