1)
Turn on the incoming cold water at the angle stop valve. Open the valve knob on the water feed Adapt-a-Valve by turning the knob 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).
NOTE
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 5) 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.
2)
Open the RO faucet and leave it open until water begins to trickle out (it will come out slowly).
3)
Close the RO faucet allowing the storage tank to fill with water. It may take 4 to 6 hours to fill the tank completely depending on the
production capability of the membrane, local water temperature and water pressure.
NOTE
During the fill period you may hear water trickling due to the Reverse Osmosis Process.
4)
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. This flushing process should take
about 24 hours to complete.
NOTE
The flushing process should take about a day to complete.
Flushing of the tank 3 times is only necessary during the initial startup and after replacing the membrane.
NOTE
1) Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
2) This reverse osmosis system contains a replaceable component critical to the efficiency of the system. Replacement of the reverse osmosis
component should be with one of identical specifications, as defined by the manufacturer, to assure the same efficiency and contaminant
reduction performance.
Do not use this RO system appliance to purify non-drinkable sources
of water that are unsafe or with water of unknown quality.
Never use hot water or freeze unit.
Incorrect installation will VOID the warranty.
