unit exterior and fittings are dry. Water should flow normally from your sink’s cold and
hot faucet. Double check to make sure all valves are in the CLOSED position, except
for the main angle-stop valves, which should be OPEN. SLOWLY open the inline ball
valve at the EZ adapter. You should hear water flowing through the system. Check for
leaks at all fittings. Allow 5-15 minutes for system pressure to build. A thin steady (or
pulsing in Pro model) trickle of water should be present after 2-20 minutes from the
BLUE ⅜” tubing or your point of use. Some blackening of the water may present due
to loose carbon being flushed out. Allow 10 gallons of water to be produced to flush
the system and make it ready for use. Membrane contains a mild preservative.
System must be flushed prior to use.

equal to >98% of tap plus 15-30 ppm of added cal/mag. pH will vary between
7-8. You may need to add acid down drops depending on your plant
