1. Check all tubing connections 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 flooding.
2. Open the dispensing faucet at the sink. Close the tank shut-off valve. Make sure the feed valve for the incoming water
is open. Open the small feed shut-off valve on the green feed line.
3. Observe all tubing and connections for several minutes to detect any leaks. In approximately 5 minutes, (assuming
normal feed water pressure) the dispensing faucet should begin dripping.
4. Allow the faucet to run for up to 15 minutes, then close the faucet.
5. Check for leaks at all connections.
6. Open the tank shut-off valve.
1. Before the system can be used for drinking water production it must be adequately flushed. Each reservoir tank is
dosed with a small amount of powdered sanitizer before shipment, typically a chlorinating 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
flow. This flushing procedure will allow any sanitizer or carbon nes to pass from the system.
2. Initial 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 automatic shut-off valve inside the system will stop the feed flow through
the system. Actuation of the automatic shut-off valve can be determined by either checking for a lack of brine flow to the
drain saddle, or by listening very closely near the dispensing faucet for absence of water flow sound though the air gap.
When the tank has lled for the rst time, it should be left undisturbed for at least 8 hours to ensure proper sanitization.
3. After 8 hours has elapsed, open the dispensing faucet fully and allow the product water to run out to drain at maximum
flow. The initial discharge will be dark with the bulk of the carbon particle wash out. There may also be the scent of chlo-
rinated water from the sanitizing agent. When the flow has diminished to a fast drip or small stream, close the dispensing
faucet.
4. Fill and flush the tank at least three times prior to use. If necessary, repeat until the chlorination scent has disappeared.
It is important that the flush be done at maximum flow (e.g. the tank must be full) to assist in rapid wash out. After this
flushing procedure the system is ready for normal use.
