Purenex Multipure Aqua RO System - Manual (Page 12)

Start-Up Instructions
NOTE: If your system is hooked up to an Ice Maker, turn Ice Maker off until tank has filled, then
flushed and refilled before allowing water to flow to Ice Maker. The system should have a
ball valve installed before the Ice Maker so it can be closed to prevent water flowing to the
Ice Maker. Your tank must be allowed to fill up in order for the unit to shut off. (If you are
installing an Ice Maker kit, tee off after the final filter).
Step 1 Turn on the incoming cold water. Turn tank valve to “on” position. Check the system for
leaks and tighten any fitting as necessary. (Check over the next 24 hours to ensure no
leaks are present).
Step 2 Open the RO faucet and leave open until after water begins to trickle out. This will take
several minutes. It will come out slowly. Then close the RO faucet.
Step 3 The tank will take between 4 to 6 hours to fill completely, depending on the size of the
membrane, local water temperature and pressure. There is an average of 5 gallons of reject
water for every 1 gallon of filtered water produced.
Step 4 Then fill the RO tank again. Now you may use your RO system for all of your drinking
water needs.
Step 5 Inspect the reverse osmosis system periodically to ensure the unit is functioning properly.
