Startup Instructions

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

off (do not allow water to ow to the ice maker) until ushing (Step 4) is complete and the tank

has been allowed to ll completely. Connection from the RO to the ice maker system should

have an in-line valve installed before the ice maker so it can easily be closed to prevent water

owing to the ice maker during start up and periodic maintenance. Your storage tank must be

allowed to ll up fully in order for the ice maker system to work properly.

After the storage tank has lled open the RO Faucet to ush the tank completely. You will

know that the tank is empty when the ow rate from the RO faucet is down to a trickle. Repeat

this step two more times. The fourth tank can be used for drinking.

Open the RO faucet and leave it open until water begins to trickle out (this may take a few

minutes and the water will come out slowly).

Step 4

Turn on the incoming cold water at the angle stop valve and the

Adapt-a-Valve. Check the system for leaks and tighten any ttings

as necessary. (Check frequently over the next 24 hours to ensure

no leaks are present).

Step 3

Step 2

Note:

Step 1

Close the RO faucet allowing the storage tank to ll with water. It may take 3 to 6 hours to

ll the tank completely depending on the production capability of the membrane, local water

temperature and water pressure.

Flushing of the tank 3 times is only necessary during the initial startup and after replacing the

membrane.

During the ll period you may hear water trickling which is a normal occurrence.

Note:

Congratulations!

You have completed the installation of your new Reverse Osmosis system.

Please Follow the Startup Instructions.

The ushing process should take about a day to complete.
