Stage 2 - Carbon Block Filter
√
Stage 4 - 10” Post Filter
√
1/2 Cup of hydrogen peroxide or common household bleach.

Step 4
Step 5
Step 6
Remove the RO membrane from its housing and rest in a clean sanitary place. (Refer to
“Membrane Replacement” section on page 14 for directions on removing the membrane).
Replace cap onto empty membrane housing and re-connect white tube.
Step 2
Leaving the filters out, replace stage 2 empty filter housing and hand tighten onto unit.
Measure & pour either 1/2 cup of hydrogen peroxide or common household bleach into the
1st filter housing (Stage 1) and hand tighten onto unit.
With the RO faucet in the closed position turn on the incoming water supply to the system at
the adapt-a-valve. Wait 1 minute for the unit to pressurize. Turn on the RO faucet and let the
water run for 30 seconds. Turn off the RO faucet and let the unit rest for 2 minutes. Finally,
open the RO faucet and let the water run for 5 more minutes.
Turn off the incoming water supply to the system at the adapt-a-valve. Keep the RO faucet
open until the storage tank is completely drained.
Open the membrane housing and re-install the RO membrane while making sure not to kink
the O-rings.
(Refer to “Membrane Replacement” section on page 14 for directions on
installing the membrane).
Tighten the cap back on the housing and reconnect white tube.
Step 7 Remove filter housings Stage 1 and 2 and empty of water.
Before re-installing the filter bowls back on to the system , check O-rings to make sure
they are still in place and lubricate with water soluble lubricant.
Caution:
Insert the new sediment filter (cloth like appearance) into the 1
st
filter housing which is the one
on the water inlet side (green tube from the adapt-a-valve) of the RO system and
re-install housing.
Step 8
Insert the new Carbon Block filter (White End Caps) into the 2nd filter housing and
re-install housing.
Step 9
Step 11
Follow Steps 8 through 10 in the Six Month System Maintenance (Page 12) for startup
directions.
Tip:
This is a good time to check the air pressure in your storage tank. For instructions
please see page 15.
Step 10 The post filter is clipped on to the Membrane housing. Disconnect all of the tubes from the
post filter, remove fittings on each end of the filter and remove filter from holding clips. Install
fittings on to the new filter and re-connect tubes
(new Teflon tape may need to be re-
applied to the fittings)
. The flow arrow on the post filter must be pointing away from the RO
storage tank.
(Discard used post filter after sanitizing)
