Flushing system and checking operation
To make sure RO system is operating correctly, follow these
simple procedures:
1. Open distribution valve handle and allow tank to
completely drain (water will be discolored and will have
suds from the sanitizing solution).
2. Close distribution valve and re-fill the system.
3. Allow system to process water for approximately 2-3
hours, at which point tank will be practically full.
4. Open distribution valve again and allow 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 doesn’t 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 pressure,
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 distribution valve 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 distribution valve.
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.
6. Allow the system to continue to operate until there is a
steady stream coming from the distribution valve.
7. Once there is a steady stream coming from the distribution
valve, close the distribution valve and open the tank valve.
Then go to the flushing procedure above.
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.
At this point supply line to ice maker connection (optional) may
be opened.
Once the system has been purged of air and is fully
operational, install the DI cartridges in the housings.
1. Shut off the water supply valve and the tank valve. Open
the distribution valve and allow the pressure to release
2. Remove the DI filter sumps and install the DI cartridges.
BE SURE to remove the plastic wrapper from the
cartridges and make sure the upper rubber washer is in
place.
3. Install the cartridges in the housings and make sure the
sump O-ring and rubber washer is in place on the
cartridge.
4. Install the sumps and tighten hand tight. Snug them an
additional 1/4 turn.
5. Turn on the supply water valve and the tank valve and
allow the system to fill.
6. Flush the DI filters until the water quality stabilizes.
NOTE: Water that sits in the DI sumps will start to lose
quality. The DI filters should be flushed for 3-5 minutes or
until the quality stabilizes each time the system is used.
This is normal for DI water systems.
Why the regular use of Sani-System is important.
A reverse osmosis system should be sanitized regularly to
maintain quality service levels. If the system is not properly
maintained, bacteria can begin to grow and multiply
wherever the water sits, including on the inside surfaces of
tanks and hoses. Filling the system with impure water can
also be a cause, but over time, bacteria grows — even in
chlorinated water. When water sits in a tank or hose,
chlorine levels drop, reducing its chemical ability to prevent
bacterial growth. Filters can also filter out chlorine, making
the water more susceptible to bacterial growth. In addition,
system equipment such as hoses, filters and canisters can
harbor and help to support bacterial growth.
Sani-System is the only EPA & NSF approved sanitizer for
use in reverse osmosis units. It is proven to kill 99.9% of
harmful bacteria without the use of chlorine, oxidizers or
acids that can harm system parts. Sani-System maintains
the performance of your reverse osmosis system and
restores it to peak efficiency.
