The filters can be changed without turning off the water supply. However it is also recommended to be ready
to turn the water supply off by closing the inlet saddle valve should any problem arise.
To remove the filters follow the reverse procedure of the Installing the Filter section on page 4.
To install the filters follow the instructions from the Installing the Filter section on page 4.
Your system contains a R/O (reverse osmosis) membrane which should also be replaced periodically for proper
operation. The R/O membrane may require changing more frequently depending on the source water condi-
tions.
Change Membrane Procedure
1. Turn off water supply by turning handle on self-piercing inlet saddle valve clockwise until valve is fully
closed.
2. Turn storage tank valve clockwise to close.
3. Open faucet to relieve pressure.
4. Remove quick connect fittings from R/O Membrane.
5. Connect new R/O Membrane.
6. Turn water supply back on.
7. Turn storage tank valve to open position.
8. Empty storage tank. Produce an additional full tank of water and discard it. Normal operation can resume.
Flush System and Check Operation
Start-up
1. Check all connections to be sure they are secure.
2. Turn on feed water valve and check for leaks. (turn off and correct leaks if leaks occur).
3. Close faucet and wait 5 minutes to see if leaks result. (turn off and correct leaks if leaks occur).
Flush System and Check Operation
1. Open faucet handle and allow tank to completely drain. Do not use this water. (When tank is empty, fau-
cet will steadily drip. This is the rate the R/O system processes water).
2. Close faucet and re-inspect system for leaks.
3. Allow system to process water for approximately four hours, at which point tank will be practically full.
4. Open faucet again and allow tank to empty for a second time. Do not use this water.
5. Wait another four hours to allow tank to re-fill.
NOTE: If no objectionable tastes are noticed after second tank draining, RO processed water is ready for use.
Otherwise, drain tank and re-fill for a third time
