17) Open the storage tank shutoff valve. Be sure the drinking water tap is
closed. Slowly open the cold water supply valve and allow chlorinated
water to fill the storage tank for approximately four to five minutes.
18) Close the cold water supply valve and the storage tank shutoff valve. Open
the tap for approximately 15 seconds to depressurize the system. Close the
tap. Remove the RO sanitizer assembly. Remove the sanitizer cartridge from
the prefilter head. *Be prepared to catch accidental water spills from this
procedure.
19) Install the RO module. Be sure the module securing clip snaps into place
on both sides. Mix 1/3 cup clean water with one level teaspoon of Iron
Out or sodium meta bisulfite. Discard enough water from the prefilter san-
itizer cartridge to allow the solution to be added to the center of the car-
tridge. A small plastic, household funnel or the dropper provided in
Kinetico’s sanitization kit may aid in adding solution to the cartridge. After
adding solution to the cartridge, install the cartridge into the prefilter head.
20 Disconnect the tubing from the storage tank shutoff valve (Fig. 16) and put
the tubing end into a bucket or pan. Open the cold water supply valve and
allow the product water to discharge from the tubing into the bucket or pan
for 15 to 20 minutes. Close the cold water supply valve and reconnect the
tubing to the storage tank shutoff valve. If the tubing end is scarred or
scratched, cut away the damaged end before connecting it to the tank.
21) Open the drinking water tap. Remove the sanitizer cartridges and install the
new prefilter and MACguard postfilter cartridges. Be sure to install the new
cartridges in the proper places. Check the decal mounted on the underside
of your system’s decorative cover for more information. See the cartridge
replacement instructions included with each cartridge for proper installa-
tion. Open the cold water supply valve and the shutoff valve on the storage
tank.The tank should now be discharging water through the open drinking
water tap.This will flush any carbon fines from the
new MACguard Filter. When the flow slows to a
drip, close the tap.Allow the system to fill the stor-
age tank for a few hours. Discard the water in the
tank after this time by opening the tap until the
flow slows to a drip. The system is now ready to
produce more great tasting drinking water.
