Using RO for Ice-maker only:
If you want the RO to feed your ice-maker (fridge) only, you should still connect the RO faucet
as a 2nd outlet. This allows you to drain the tank, flush new filters through the faucet rather than
through your icemaker line. You can hang the faucet by the system and not mount it.
Option: Multiple Outputs - Add Shut Off Valve:
If your RO is feeding several output points (icemaker, fridge, bathroom), you should add a
Shut-Off valve to each output line (except the RO spigot line). This way, if you ever need to
diagnose a problem in the system, you can easily shut off these lines to isolate the water flow for
accurate troubleshooting.
Step 7: System Start-Up
1. Turn on feed water: Slowly, turn on your Cold water supply. Turn on the Needle Valve (turn
counter-clockwise) to allow the raw water to enter the system. Check for leaks!
2. Turn on tank valve: Turn on the tank’s ball valve to allow water to enter the tank. The
tank’s valve is “ON” when the valve handle is parallel (in the same direction) with the valve’s
outlet (see Fig.12). Check for leaks!
3. Wait for tank to fill: Before usage, allow the tank to fill. Tank normally takes 2-3 hours to
fill. When the tank is filled, the RO will shut off automatically.
4. Drain Tank: Please do not use the first tank of water. Once the tank has filled, open
the drinking water faucet to drain the tank and filters. It will usually take about 5 min-
utes to flush the unit. When the tank is completely empty water will simply Trickle out the
faucet. At this time, please close the drinking faucet and allow the unit another 2-3 hours to
refill the tank. The 2nd tank of water will be ready for use.
Please Note: Water may come out dark for the first few seconds on the initial flush, and then
clear right up. This is due to the GAC (granular activated carbon) post filter.
5. Clean up area: Allow the system to run while cleaning up tools and work area.
6. Check for leaks! Make sure no leaking at joints, fittings, valves, and tubing connections.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed the Reverse Osmosis System!
Note:
If your RO makes an annoying noise. See Troubleshoot Guide section for explanation and
instructions on page 29.
