Start-Up Procedure
WARNING:
To prevent microbiological growth and freezing, this reverse osmosis system contains a
preservative solution which, if ingested, may cause irritation of the gastrointestinal tract, colic, diarrhea
or other similar symptoms. Therefore, 5 gallons (approximately two full tanks) must be drawn from the
spigot to flush out the preservative. This may represent two or three days of running, depending on
conditions of the feed water.
The carbon filters require some rinsing to remove carbon fines. The filters will rinse out on their own by
allowing the system to produce 2 full tanks of water and discarding the RO product water. The following
procedure may be followed if it is desired to rinse the filters immediately before producing an RO product
water.
a. Disconnect the green line from the auto shut off valve that runs from the outlet side of the Pre-Carbon
Filter to the Auto Shut Off Valve. Direct tubing into a pail or catch basin.
b. Turn on the feed water by opening the needle valve on the feed water saddle valve and catch the
water in the pail. The water rinsing the filter will appear grayish until the fines are rinsed out. When
the water returns to clear, close the needle valve. Re-connect the green tubing back into the Auto Shut
Off Valve. The filters are now rinsed.
c. Turn on feedwater by opening the needle valve. Immediately check for any signs of a leak. Correct
any problems if necessary. Turn on storage tank valve.
d. It will not be uncommon to experience air bubbles or dissolved air in the product water. This will
disappear after the unit is in service for a short period of time.
e. The first two full tanks must be discarded to flush the membrane preservative out of the system as well
as flush the carbon fines from the Post Carbon Filter.
