Procedure for Extended Non-Use (More than 2 months)
Turn off the water supply to your RO system at the adapt-a-valve and open the RO faucet to
drain the storage tank. Once the storage tank is empty, remove all filter cartridges (order not
important), place them into a sealed plastic bag and store in your refrigerator.
To Restart System:
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 the tank has been allowed
to completely fill.
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. The second 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 6
Turn on water supply to the system at the Adapt-a-Valve.
(Check frequently over the next 24 hours to ensure no leaks are present).
Step 5
Step 4
Note:
Step 2
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.
Reinstall all filters on to the RO unit. Filters are color coded to match the filter heads they
twist in to. Refer to page 13 step three for cartridge installation procedure.
