check each connection point until you find the blockage point. At each point - turn off the
water at the EZ adapter and tank, and briefly turn on the RO faucet at the sink to relieve
any system pressure. Disconnect the tube from the fitting. Point the tube you have just
disconnected into a pitcher and turn on the EZ adapter valve.
Poor Taste The first step is to purge the system. Close the system feed valve and open the
RO faucet like you were getting a drink of water. Leave the RO faucet in the open position
until the water stops flowing completely. Then open the feed valve, close the RO faucet and
allow the system to refill.
If the poor taste persists, then review your maintenance service record, and also consider that
if your usage is higher than normal, you may have exceeded your filter life and require a filter
or a membrane change. Changing the filters or membrane is the most common course of
action to resolve a poor taste problem.
The next step in assessing a poor taste problem is checking for the correct flow rate from the
RO faucet and from the drain line. Here are the steps:
With the feed valve to the system open, and the tank valve closed, please open the RO faucet
like you were getting a drink of water. The water flow should settle at a pinpoint thin trickle of
water that is either steady or if you have a permeate pump, it should fluctuate in conjunction
with the pump’s action. Please note the flow rate and continue on to the next step while
leaving the RO Faucet open.
With a bowl and towel in hand please remove the red line from the drain saddle. There is a
black nut there that you can loosen by hand. There should be water present, so point the line
into a bowl. Please note the flow rate. The flow rate should be equal to, or greater than, the
flow from the RO Faucet. Please note the flow rate. Also inspect the opening of the red line
and the opening into the drain saddle for any obstructions or inserts. Both should be wide
open without obstruction.
Please report your findings to our support team. Also please note as to whether you have city
water or a private well on your land.
No water or ice from refrigerator water center Make sure line from Home Master® RO to
refrigerator has pressure. Make sure refrigerator water center and/or icemaker are turned
ON, and refrigerator is plugged in. If water center works, but icemaker does not, then defrost
the freezer as the line may have frozen.
Discoloration of water The first batch of water produced from your purification
system may be discolored due to the presence of carbon from the carbon filters, and
a small amount of preservative. This is normal. DO NOT drink the first 6.5 gallons of
water.

7. Connect drain line tubing — Locate the black plastic nut found in drain saddle parts bag.
Press it onto the RED 1/4” tubing attached to the filter cluster. The red tubing should protrude
from the black plastic nut slightly. Wrap excess tubing around the drainpipe so that some
loops are above the drain saddle. Hand tighten black plastic nut onto the drain saddle male
fitting until it is snug. Do not over tighten and DO NOT add a tubing insert.
8. Pressurize the Home Master® RO - For Home Master® RO UV equipped systems first
connect power adapter to UV filter so the UV filter cap glows. If unit fails to illuminate, then
check power outlet with a known good device like a lamp. Many undersink outlets are
switched.
Make sure unit is dry. Double check to make sure all valves are in the closed position, except
for the main angle-stop valve, which should be open. Water should flow normally from your
kitchen faucet. SLOWLY open the EZ adapter ball valve. You should hear water rushing
through the system. Open the RO faucet to by flipping the lever up, where it should stay open.
A trickle of water should be present after 2-20 minutes. Some blackening of the water may
present due to loose carbon being flushed out. Close the lever on the RO faucet after the
trickle runs clear, and allow the system to pressurize. When the system has pressurized and
shuts off automatically; (IMPORTANT STEP) dry unit thoroughly, gently tug on each
connection and check for leaks. Then open the reserve tank valve slowly. Allow reserve tank to
fill for 2.5 hours or until full.
9. Fill and Drain Procedure—First close the EZ adapter ball valve so that the system is no
longer producing new water, then open the RO faucet. Let the water run out until it comes to a
COMPLETE STOP. Close RO faucet. Open the EZ adapter ball valve and let the system refill,
then repeat this step. System must be flushed at least twice prior to use. Some harmless fine
air bubbles may be present and will dissipate with time and use. [OPTIONAL-Following
successful fill and drain procedure you may plug in refrigerator electric plug; open refrigerator
connection kit ball valve so that the blue handle is parallel with the white body. Make sure
refrigerator icemaker and water center are turned ON. Check for leaks. Check for pressure at
the refrigerator’s water center. Dispose of the first two batches of ice after installation and
flush the water center until the water runs clear and is at room temperature. Use caution
when rolling refrigerator back into place. DO NOT crimp or crush water line, as a leak will likely
develop.]
