CAUTION
Ingesting the protective solution may cause irrita-
tion of the gastrointestinal tract, colic, diarrhea, or
other similar symptoms
INSTALLATION (continued)
SANITIZING THE SYSTEM AND LINES
The plumbing must also be sanitized to eliminate pos-
sible contamination that may have occurred during the
installation process. Chlorine bleach can be used to
sanitize the plumbing. The amount of bleach to use
depends on the system being installed, and the amount
of plumbing downstream of the filter system. Generally,
1 or 2 cap fulls of bleach will be sufficient to sanitize
the system. This can be done before the system final
connections are made or after the system has been
installed and flushed.
1. Open the faucet or tap closest downstream to the
filter system.
2. Close the inlet water valve and allow the system
to depressurize.
3. Place a bucket under the inlet connection to the
system. Disconnect the inlet pipe from the sys-
tem. Water will flow out the pipe as the system
drains.
4. When the water flow out of the pipe stops, pour
the liquid bleach into the pipe. Reattach the
plumbing to the system inlet.
5. Slowly open the inlet water valve to re-pressurize
the system. Allow water to flow out the tap until
the smell of bleach is present.
6. Close the tap and let the system stand with no
water flow for at least 15 minutes to allow the
bleach to sanitize the pipes.
7. After 15 minutes without flow, open the tap and
flush until the presence of bleach is gone. All
other taps should be opened to flush any bleach
from the plumbing.
8. Close the tap. The sanitization is complete.
Program the other controller features following the
steps within the Operation section of this manual.
CAUTION
Be careful when handling bleach. Follow all warn-
ings and precautions on the bleach packaging.
Do not mix Bleach with any other cleansers or
sanitizers.
FLUSHING AND STARTING THE SYSTEM
To ensure that the highest quality water is produced
from the system, the plumbing leading from the filter
system must be flushed clear of all debris after the
system is hooked up. After making the connection to
the outlet of the filter system, open a faucet or tap clos-
est to the filter system, then slowly open the inlet water
valve. Allow the pipe to flush until all debris is removed.
The unit also must be flushed to remove air and the
shipping/storage solution. For maximum quality, the
permeate water produced during the flushing procedure
must be discarded. Direct this permeate water to drain.
1. Plug the power cord into the appropriate electrical
outlet.
2. Follow the programming steps as outlined in the
Operation section of this manual.
3. Open the tap or faucet closest downstream to the
filter system.
4. Slowly open the inlet water valve and allow water
to enter the system.
5. Press the Run button. The drain valves will open
to flush the air out of the center of the hollow
fibers. Check to make sure that the drain water is
directed into the drain without splashing.
6. The drain valves will close automatically. Water
should continue to flow through the system and
out of the open tap. Allow water to flow out of the
tap for at least 15 minutes at maximum flow rate.
7. Close the tap and let the system stand with no
water flow for 15 minutes to allow any trapped air
to come out of the hollow fibers. Check for leaks
at all fittings.
8. After 15 minutes without any flow, open the tap for
5 minutes to allow any trapped air to be flushed
out.
9. Close the tap. The flushing is complete.
