prepared to catch accidental spills from this cartridge. Install the protective cap back on the sanitization
cartridge, and save it for future use.
g. Reconnect the tubing to the storage tank.
h. Open cold water supply valve and open ball valve on the storage tank. This will allow the system to fill the
storage tank with water. After the storage tank has filled, discard the water in the tank. When the tank
refills for the second time the system is ready for use.
Sanitization Procedure when using QuickFlo Storage Tank
The following steps outline the sanitizing and/or pre-filling procedure of a QuickFlo tank prior to installation.
NOTE: It is recommended that this procedure be performed off site.
Requirements:
• Two pressurized feed lines.
• One line that can introduce chlorinated water to the product side of the tank.
Membrane Sanitization
a. Shut off the inlet water supply to the TQ system.
b. Drain any remaining water from the storage tank.
c. Remove the prefilter cartridge. Be prepared to catch accidental water spills when removing the
cartridge.
d. Use a sanitization cartridge to sanitize the membrane. Add 1 cup of clean water with 3 teaspoons of
Iron Out or sodium meta bisulfite to the center of the sanitization cartridge. It may be best to premix
the solution first to get an adaquate dilution before adding it to the sanitization cartridge. A small,
plastic, household funnel or the dropper provided in Kinetico’s sanitization kit may aid in adding
solution to the cartridge. After adding solution to the cartridge, install cartridge to the prefilter head.
e. Disconnect the tubing from the storage tank ball valve, and put the tubing end into a bucket or drain.
Open the cold water supply valve, and allow the product water to discharge from the tubing into the
bucket or drain for 15 to 20 minutes. Close the cold water supply valve, and reconnect the tubing to
the storage tank ball valve. If the tubing end is scarred or scratched, cut away the damaged end
before connecting it to the tank.
f. Remove the sanitization prefilter cartridge, and replace it with a new prefilter cartridge.
g. Open ball valve on the tank and the cold water feed line. Allow the system to fill the storage tank for
several hours. Discard the water in the tank after this time. When tank refills, the system is ready to
use.
