9. Turn on the feed water valve and check for leaks. Turn off the valve and correct leaks
if any occur.
10. Close the valve on the storage tank and open the faucet until a steady stream of wa-
ter flows. Water will be flowing to the drain as well. The initial water from the system
may be discolored. This is normal.
11. Once there is a steady stream of water coming from the faucet (about 1/8" in diame-
ter), close the faucet and wait five minutes to see if any leaks occur through the sys-
tem.
NOTE: It is very important that there is a steady stream (not drips) of water
coming from the faucet before it is closed. If not, there could be air trapped in
the system and it will not fill the tank properly. This can waste a larger volume
of water.
12. If there are no leaks, open the storage tank valve and allow the system to fill. Most
systems will be full within 2 hours. The system is full when the water to the drain
stops. Check for leaks with the system full and repair them accordingly.
NOTE: When the system is first turned on, water may intermittently "spurt"
from the air gap opening on the side of air gap faucets. This is common and
should correct itself after the air is purged from the system.
Flushing System and Checking Operation
To make sure the RO system is operating correctly, follow these simple procedures:
1. Open the faucet handle and allow the tank to completely drain. (Water will be discol-
ored and will have suds from the sanitizing solution)
2. Close faucet and re-fill the system.
3. Allow system to process water for approximately 2-3 hours. The tank will be practi-
cally full at this point.
4. Open the faucet again and allow the tank to empty for a second time. Do not use this
water.
5. Wait another 2-3 hours to allow tank to re-fill.
Air Purging
If the tank does not fill, the tank tubing may have air in it. Typically the standard startup
procedure will be sufficient but in some cases, due to the water temperature and pres-
sure, additional air bleeding must be performed. The following procedure will help bleed
air from the system.
1. Close the tank valve and the feed water valve and open the faucet to relieve the
pressure on the system.
2. Remove the tank tubing from the tank valve and hold it over a bucket or pan.
3. Open the feed water valve and the faucet.
4. Allow the system to run until there is a stream of water coming from the tank tubing.
5. Once there is a steady stream coming from the tank tubing, push it back into the tank
valve. Be sure to push it in the tank valve completely or a leak could occur.
