System Start-Up and Operation Procedures
Reverse Osmosis Systems have specific issues with air in system, proper pressure in tank,
the proper draining of reject water, and proper connection between various components.
Follow these procedures for new installations and all filter/membrane replacements.
A proper start-up insures the system is without issues.
If anything is discovered, this is the time to discover it and correct any problems or
questions that arise. Lack of a proper start-up will void the warranty.
Only For Units with Electrical Connection with UV Option, Model Nos. RO3-UV and RO4-UV
Step 1A:
Connect UV lamp cord and plug in transformer unit to typical 110v electric outlet.
NOTE:
Electrical outlet must be dedicated and unswitched. Be aware of any GFI outlets and the need to reset. Surge supres-
sion highly recommended.
For All Units:
Step 2:
Keep inlet water supply to the system closed. Make sure to turn off water supply to other devices that may be con-
nected to this unit.
Step 3:
Keep storage tank valve closed. Storage tank valve should be closed. Tank valve handle is perpendicular or at a 90º
angle to the yellow tubing connected into the tank valve.
Step 4:
Pull up and lock dispenser/faucet handle in open position (if using another type of dispenser - put into open position).
Step 5:
Turn on any main water supply which was shut off earlier (usually for new install). Now open inlet water supply to the
system.
NOTE:
Initially you may observe a sputtering. It may take up to 10-15 minutes for water to begin to drip from dispenser/fau-
cet.
Step 6:
Once a steady flow is available (flows about a gallon of water for every 1/2 up to 1 hour), Close the dispenser/faucet
Step 7:
Open storage tank valve, so that tank valve handle is parallel or inline with the yellow tubing connected into the tank
valve.
Step 8:
Allow system to fill the tank twice and drain both tanks of water produced before actual use*. This will wash carbon
fines, membrane preservatives, and air** from the system.
NOTE:
This correct procedure of “fill then empty, fill then empty, and final fill” may be a morning, afternoon or an overnight
procedure. This entire process may take in excess of 6 hours. This is the proper way this type of system is started up.
Continue with the proper start-up of the reverse osmosis system
