rinsing the ultra filter cartridge
The Ultra Filter Cartridge must be rinsed before the sys-
tem is used to remove any air and protective solution.
nOte: ultra filter cartridge must be rinsed to drain
before use. rinsing to drain removes storage solu-
tion and air. Do nOt rinse into carbon if present.
carbon life and/or performance may be affected.
nOte: make sure the carbon block cartridge is
nOt installed in the carbon Housing.
1. Direct water from the Permeate Outlet to a drain.

filter system.
3. Slowly open the inlet water valve and allow water
to enter the system.
4. Press the flusH button. The Drain Valve will
open and air and water will come out of the drain
line. Repeat six times to ensure all air and stor-
age solution are flushed out of the Ultra Filter
Cartridge.

and out the faucet for 15 minutes.
6. Inspect the unit for any leaks and repair as
needed.

faucet and let the system stand without water flow
for 15 minutes to allow trapped air to come out of
the hollow fibers of the Ultra Filter Cartridge.
8. After 15 minutes without water flow, open the tap
or faucet for five minutes to flush out the trapped
air.
9. Close the tap or faucet.

sanitizing the system and lines
The plumbing must be sanitized to eliminate possible
contamination that may have occurred during the instal-
lation process.
One ounce (30 ml) of liquid chlorine bleach (regular
bleach, unscented 6% sodium hypochlorite) can be
used to sanitize the plumbing. The amount of bleach
needed depends on the system and the amount of
plumbing downstream of the system.
nOte: follow the handling and safety instructions
supplied with the bleach.
1. Follow the steps in the
rinsing the Ultra Filter
Cartridge in the Installation section of this manual.
2. Turn off the water to the system.
3. Open the faucet or tap closest downstream to the
system.
4. Close the Inlet Water Valve and allow the system
to depressurize.
5. Place a bucket under the “T” or cross fitting at the
inlet connection to the system. Open the inlet drain
valve or unscrew the cap to drain the system.
6. Press the flusH button to help drain the system.
7. When the water flow out of the inlet fitting stops,
close the inlet drain valve and pour the liquid
bleach into the inlet connection fitting. Be careful
not to spill bleach onto clothing or skin. You may
want to add the bleach using a cup. Reattach the
cap on the fitting.
8. Slowly open the inlet water valve and allow water
to flow out of the tap until the smell of bleach is
present.
9. Immediately 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.
10. After 15 minutes without water 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. Close the taps.
11. Press the flusH button to complete the flushing
process.
