from the yellow tubing (see Flow Restrictor Removal, Adjustment, 

 

and Replacement). Reconnect the tubing to the membrane housing. 

 

Place the flow restrictor in a safe location where it will not be     

      accidentally crushed or damaged. 
11.  Put the yellow concentrate tubing and the blue product 

 

water tubing in the  drain and turn on the system water supply. 

 

Allow the system to flush for several minutes to remove any loose 

 particles.
12.  Turn off the water supply to the system. Remove the yellow 

 

tubing from the membrane tubing from the membrane housing 

 

and replace the flow restrictor assembly as described on page 12-13. 

13.  Re-insert the flow restrictor end of the yellow tubing into 

 

its push-fitting at the RO membrane and reconnect the yellow 

 

concentrate tubing to the membrane housing.

14.  Turn on the water supply to the system and check for leaks. Check,

 

and if necessary adjust, the Concentrate to Purified Water Ratio per

 

the procedures described in that section.
