Instructions / Assembly

Install ¼” polypropylene plastic tubing if your refrigerator is within 25 ft. of your RO unit. Do not

use copper tubing since an objectionable taste can result in the ice cubes. If the refrigerator is

over 25 ft from the RO Unit it is recommended to use ⁄” tubing. Install a tee in the blue tubing

between the final post filter and the faucet. It is recommended to install a ball valve in the line

to your ice maker to allow pressure to increase sufficiently in the storage tank for the ice maker

solenoid to operate properly. Leave the ball valve in the closed position until the tank is full

after the start up procedure is completed.

Step 1 Turn on the incoming cold water ball valve and the main under sink valve but close the

storage tank ball valve.

Step 2 Check System for leaks, tighten if necessary.

NOTE: If you have connected your RO system to a refrigerator/ice maker, make sure the ice

maker is off (do not allow water to flow to the ice maker until flush is complete and

the tank has been allowed to fill completely. Connection from the RO to the icemaker

system should have an in-line valve installed before the icemaker so it can easily be

closed to prevent water flowing to the ice maker during start up and periodic

maintenance. Your RO tank must be allowed to fill up fully for the ice maker system to

work properly.

Step 3 Open the RO Faucet and leave it open until water begins to trickle out (it will come out

slowly). It will take 2 minutes for the water to start to drip. Let the water drip for 10

minutes.

Step 4 Close the RO faucet allowing the storage tank to fill with water. It may take 3.5 hours to

fill the tank completely depending on the production capability of the membrane,

local water temperature and water pressure.

Step 5 After the tank is full (you will hear the water stop), open the RO Faucet to flush the tank

completely. You will know that the tank is empty when the flow rate from the RO faucet

is down to a trickle. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you have discarded 3 tanks of water.

Step 6 Close the RO faucet and allow the holding tank to refill. The process will take 3 to 3.5

hours to complete.

Step 7 When the tank is full you can enjoy the RO water for drinking and cooking.

Step 8 Check for leaks daily for the first week and periodically thereafter.

Step 9 During the first week you may notice a milky colour. These are simply air bubbles in the

water. The water is safe to drink.

This model has a booster pump to increase the pressure in the line. The increase line pressure

produces more gallons per day since the membrane is operating more efficiently. To put an

electrical outlet in the cabinet below the kitchen sink consult an electrician.

newly purchased system.
