System Ac va on and Flushing

System Ac va on and Inspec on

1. Check all tubing connec ons to ensure they are ﬁ rmly seated. CHECK TO SEE THAT THE CARTRIDGE RETAINER CLIP IS

PROPERLY ENGAGED AND LOCKED. Failure to keep the retaining clip in place will result in accidental leaks and ﬂ ooding.

2. Open the dispensing faucet at the sink. Close the tank shut-oﬀ valve. Make sure the feed valve for the incoming water

is open. Open the small feed shut-oﬀ valve on the green feed line.

3. Observe all tubing and connec ons for several minutes to detect any leaks. In approximately 5 minutes, (assuming

normal feed water pressure) the dispensing faucet should begin dripping.

4. Allow the faucet to run for up to 15 minutes, then close the faucet.

5. Check for leaks at all connec ons.

6. Open the tank shut-oﬀ valve.

Ini al Flushing Procedure

1. Before the system can be used for drinking water produc on it must be adequately ﬂ ushed. Each reservoir tank is

dosed with a small amount of powdered sani zer before shipment, typically a chlorina ng agent, in order to ensure tank

internal cleanliness. Also, the carbon ﬁ lter cartridge will release a small amount of carbon ﬁ nes during the ﬁ rst tankful of

ﬂ ow. This ﬂ ushing procedure will allow any sani zer or carbon ﬁ nes to pass from the system.

2. Ini al tank ﬁ lling will take approximately one hour (based on average feed pressure). When the tank is full, the water

pressure will have risen to the point where the automa c shut-oﬀ valve inside the system will stop the feed ﬂ ow through

the system. Actua on of the automa c shut-oﬀ valve can be determined by either checking for a lack of brine ﬂ ow to the

drain saddle, or by listening very closely near the dispensing faucet for absence of water ﬂ ow sound though the air gap.

When the tank has ﬁ lled for the ﬁ rst  me, it should be le undisturbed for at least 8 hours to ensure proper sani za on.

3. A er 8 hours has elapsed, open the dispensing faucet fully and allow the product water to run out to drain at maximum

ﬂ ow. The ini al discharge will be dark with the bulk of the carbon par cle wash out. There may also be the scent of chlo-

rinated water from the sani zing agent. When the ﬂ ow has diminished to a fast drip or small stream, close the dispensing

faucet.

4. Fill and ﬂ ush the tank at least three  mes prior to use. If necessary, repeat un l the chlorina on scent has disappeared.

It is important that the ﬂ ush be done at maximum ﬂ ow (e.g. the tank must be full) to assist in rapid wash out. A er this

ﬂ ushing procedure the system is ready for normal use.
