Continue with the proper start-up of the reverse osmosis system
Step 9:
Allow system to fill (this may take up 7 hours) and use as normal. If applicable, only
open water supply to other devices 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, saddle tapping valve, 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, the
membrane &/or cartridge 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 supplied 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.

WARNING: Maximum pressure is 65 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.
**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 AN R.O. SYSTEM MAY HAVE TO
BE “BURPED” OF ANY AIR IN THE LINES.
YOU MAY HAVE TO FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE TO FINALIZE THE INSTALLATION:
CLOSE THE TANK VALVE (See page 4.2-11), 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 COUNTERCLOCK-
WISE AND HOLD IN THAT VERTICAL POSITION. AFTER 1 MINUTE, RETURN UNIT BACK TO HORIZONTAL
POSITION. WATER SHOULD DRIP AT A STEADY FLOW (about 1-11/2 gallons per hour) WITHOUT SPUTTER-
ING 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.
