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 10 gallons of water. Drinking from un-flushed system
may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, colic and/or diarrhea. Consult a
physician if discomfort persists. Running out 10 gallons of water will
effectively flush out the system, and make it ready for use.
Air Bubbles Tiny air bubbles may be present in product water for some
time after installation and filter changes and will dissipate when left to
stand for a few seconds. The air bubbles are harmless oxygenation and
should not be mistaken for sedimentation or a defect in filtration.
PERMEATE PUMP MOUNTING (PRO MODEL)
Permeate pump should be mounted with inlet and outlet
ports to the sides, and the center indicating arrow pointing
up. (Also see Fig. 4)

System Location
The HydroGardener® should be installed indoors or protected from the
elements such as under a sink, or in a basement. If the HydroGardener® is
exposed to freezing it will burst. If the HydroGardener® is exposed to the
elements it can lead to premature wear and/or contamination. For best
results the HydroGardener® should be mounted vertically where the drain
line out is found at the bottom of the system.
