System Acvaon and Inspecon
1. Check all tubing connecons to ensure they are rmly seated. CHECK TO SEE THAT THE CARTRIDGE RETAINER CLIP IS
PROPERLY ENGAGED AND LOCKED. Failure to keep the retaining clip in place will result in accidental leaks and ooding.
2. Open the dispensing faucet at the sink. Close the tank shut-o valve.
3. Open the feed water valve to the system. Observe all tubing and connecons for several minutes to detect any leaks.
In approximately 5 minutes, (assuming normal feed water pressure) the dispensing faucet should begin dripping.
4. Place a pan or other tempo rary water basin near the drain 'P' trap. Loosen the connector nut holding the 3/8" tube
in the drain saddle connec tor. Pull the tube out of the connector and use the pan to catch any water that may spill. Brine
water should be owing from the tube. Reconnect the tube to the drain saddle and hand-ght en the connector nut.
5. Allow the faucet the run for up to 15 minutes, then close the faucet.
6. Check for leaks at all connecons.
7. Open the tank shut-o valve.
Inial Flushing Procedure
1. Before the system can be used for drinking water producon it must be adequately ushed. Each reservoir tank is
dosed with a small amount of powdered sanizer before shipment, typically a chlorinang agent, in order to ensure tank
internal cleanliness. Also, the carbon lter cartridge will release a small amount of carbon nes during the rst tankful of
ow. This ushing procedure will allow any sanizer or carbon nes to pass from the system.
2. Inial tank lling will take approximately one hour (based on average feed pressure). When the tank is full, the water
pressure will have risen to the point where the automac shut-o valve inside the system will stop the feed ow through
the system. Actuaon of the automac shut-o valve can be determined by either checking for a lack of brine ow to the
drain saddle, or by listening very closely near the dispensing faucet for absence of water ow sound though the air gap.
When the tank has lled for the rst me, it should be le undisturbed for at least 8 hours to ensure proper sanizaon.
3. Aer 8 hours has elapsed, open the dispensing faucet fully and allow the product water to run out to drain at maximum
ow. The inial discharge will be dark with the bulk of the carbon parcle wash out. There may also be the scent of chlo-
rinated water from the sanizing agent. When the ow has diminished to a fast drip or small stream, close the dispensing
faucet.
4. Fill and ush the tank at least three mes prior to use. If necessary, repeat unl the chlorinaon scent has disappeared.
It is important that the ush be done at maximum ow (e.g. the tank must be full) to assist in rapid wash out. Aer this
ushing procedure the system is ready for normal use.
