Continue with the proper start-up of the reverse osmosis system
Step 9:
Allow system to fill (this may take up 2 hours) and use as normal. If applicable, only open water supply to other de-
vices connected to this unit after storage tank is filled.
Step 10:
Inspect for leaks at all connections, fittings and/or housings. If a problem exists, please shut off water supply to the
system and consider the following solutions;
•
Plumbing connections at the inlet/supply connection or angle stop. Please review all plumbing procedures
and correct.
•
Plumbing connections to dispenser/faucet and any other fixtures or cross-connections. Please review and
correct.
•
Inspect for leaks at all unit connections such as connections between housings. Report any issues for
assistence or needed part(s).
•
Inspect for leaks at all tubing connections and the labeled “Feed” and “Faucet” connections between the sup-
plied tubing and the quick connect fittings. To insure proper connection, give a light “tug” (not a hard pull) on
tubing to check the grip on all fittings.
System Start-Up and Operation Procedures - Continued
*CAUTION:
Do not drink water from system until start-up procedures have been completed and system has been flushed properly. Improper
start-up may result in poor performance of the system. Proper procedure will rinse and purge system. Do not make water available
to any ice-makers, rerigerators or any other devices*** until the system is completely flushed.
**WARNING:
UPON INSTALLATION OR FILTER/MEMBRANE REPLACEMENT SYSTEM MAY HAVE TO BE “BURPED” OF ANY AIR IN THE LINES.
***WARNING:
Reverse osmosis may have warranty or restrictions with other devices, consult with other manufacturer’s product information. Any
length of total tubing in excess of 20 feet combined to tank, faucet, and all items will create issues with delivery rates. Tubing in excess
of 20 feet is calculated by adding the length of yellow tubing from unit to tank and and blue tubing from “FAUCET” on unit to dispenser
annd/or the total length to another device(s). EWS, Inc. supplies 5 feet of each type of tubing.
YOU MAY HAVE TO FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE TO FINALIZE THE INSTALLATION:
CLOSE THE TANK VALVE, CLOSE (if applicable) WATER SUPPLY TO OTHER DEVICES CONNECTED TO THIS UNIT, OPEN AND
LOCK DISPENSER (observe sputtering from dispenser or a slow drip), THEN ROTATE THE UNIT 90 DEGREES CLOCKWISE AND
HOLD IN VERTICAL POSITION, AFTER A MINUTE RETURN UNIT BACK TO HORIZINTAL POSITION, THEN ROTATE THE UNIT
90 DEGREES COUNTERCLOCKWISE AND HOLD IN THAT VERTICAL POSITION. AFTER 1 MINUTE, RETURN UNIT BACK TO
HORIZONTAL POSITION. WATER SHOULD DRIP SHOULD BECOME A STEADY FLOW (about 1 1/2 gallons per hour) WITHOUT
SPUTTERING OR ANY GURGING SOUND. REPEAT AS NEEDED. THEN CLOSE DISPENSER, OPEN TANK VALVE, OPEN (if
applicable) WATER SUPPLY TO OTHER DEVICES.
NOTE:
Cloudy Water - If you draw your water into a glass and it appears to be cloudy, it’s only air and nothing bad. Let the glass sit and watch
the air rise and dissipate. The filter cartridges used are full bed depth. The carbon (GAC) cartridges have a great deal of surface area.
It may take 24-48 hours for this to correct itself after you have filled and emptied the tank 2 times.

If you have identified a problem, please contact our offices. Let us know if we can offer advice on a plumbing issue
that may not be related to the actual unit, or a question or issue that may be unit related. If in need of a part under warranty we
can readily send it. Parts (original only) needed out of warranty can be obtained through your contractor, local distribution or
online
WARNING:
Maximum pressure is 75 PSI. Pressure unregulated can surge or exceed the maximum rating on this and many items in the home.
High pressure creates a water hammer or banging pipes. It’s also the reason to use stainless hoses for washer machine connections
and not the rubber. A pressure reducing valve (PRV) at your main water service line (if not code) is greatly recommended by many
manufacturers’ of many different household items, plumbing products and appliances and must be checked annually. A point of use
(sink location) pressure limiting valve is also available.
