Start up Instructions
If you have connected your RO system to a refrigerator / ice maker, make sure the ice maker
is off (do not allow water to flow to the ice maker) until flushing (Step 4) is complete and the
tank has been allowed to fill completely. Connection from the RO to the ice maker system
should have an in-line valve installed before the ice maker so it can easily be closed to prevent
water flowing to the ice maker during start up and periodic maintenance. Your RO tank must
be allowed to fill up fully in order for the ice maker system to work properly.
After the Tank has filled, open the RO Faucet to flush the tank completely. You will know that
the tank is empty when the flow rate from the RO faucet is down to a trickle. Repeat this step
two more times. The fourth tank can be used for drinking.
Open the RO faucet and leave it open until water begins to trickle out (it will come out
slowly).
Step 4
Turn on the incoming cold water at the angle stop valve. Open the needle valve on the brass
Adapt-a-Valve by turning counter clockwise. Check the system for leaks and tighten any fittings
as necessary. (Check frequently over the next 24 hours to ensure no leaks are present).
Step 3
Step 2
Note:
Step 1
Close the RO faucet allowing the storage tank to fill with water.
It may take 3 to 6 hours to
fill the tank completely depending on the production capability of the membrane, local water
temperature and water pressure.
Flushing of the tank 3 times is only necessary during the initial startup and after replacing the
membrane.
During the fill period you may hear water trickling due to the Reverse Osmosis Process.

Note:
Congratulations!
You have completed the installation of new your Reverse Osmosis system.
Please Follow the Startup Instructions.
The flushing process should take about a day to complete.
