Sanitizing the Reverse Osmosis System
Sanitize upon installation of the Reverse Osmosis system and
after servicing inner parts, including replacement of prefilter,
postfilter and the membrane cartridge.
Be sure to wash your hands before handling inner parts of the
system.
IMPORTANT ³Before sanitizing, be sure
to remove all cartridges. Chlorine will destroy the Reverse Osmosis
membrane cartridge.
1. Follow steps 1 through 4 under Prefilter, Postfilter and Reverse
Osmosis Membrane Cartridge Replacement Procedure.
2. Fill the empty canister labeled “Sanitization Canister” with water
to within 1 inch of the upper opening. Add 1 oz.
(2 Tbsp.) ordinary unscented household bleach. Install canister
into the prefilter canister position by turning to the right about
1/3 turn until the alignment marks line up and the canister
stops.
3. Install the two additional “sanitization canisters” into the
membrane canister and postfilter openings in the manifold by
turning to the right about 1/3 turn until the alignment marks line
up and the canister stops.
4. Turn ON water supply. Turn ON faucet until water begins to
flow from the faucet, then turn faucet OFF. Allow system to
fill for 10 minutes.
5. Turn faucet ON and allow water to flow for 20 minutes, or until
bleach odor is gone. Turn OFF water supply again. Turn ON
faucet to drain the system.
6. Once the system is drained, turn the faucet OFF and remove the
canisters by turning to the left about 1/3 turn. Keep these in a
safe place until needed the next time.
