Procedure for Extended Non-Use (More than 2 months)
Turn off the water supply to your RO system at the adapt-a-valve and open the RO faucet to
drain the storage tank. Once the storage tank is empty, remove all lter cartridges (order not
important), place them into a sealed plastic bag and store in your refrigerator.
To Restart System:
If you have connected your RO system to a refrigerator / ice maker, make sure the ice
maker is off (do not allow water to ow to the ice maker) until the tank has been allowed
to completely ll.
After the Tank has lled, open the RO Faucet to ush the tank completely. You will know that
the tank is empty when the ow rate from the RO faucet is down to a trickle. The second tank
can be used for drinking.
Open the RO faucet and leave it open until water begins to trickle out (it will come out slowly).
Step 6
Turn on water supply to the system at the Adapt-a-Valve.
(Check frequently over the next 24 hours to ensure no leaks are present).
Step 5
Step 4
Note:
Step 2
Close the RO faucet allowing the storage tank to ll with water. It may take 3 to 6 hours to
ll the tank completely depending on the production capability of the membrane, local water
temperature and water pressure.
Reinstall all lters on to the RO unit. Filters are color coded to match the lter heads they
twist in to. Refer to page 13 step three for cartridge installation procedure.
Step 1
Flow Restrictor
NOTE: Your reverse osmosis system is equipped
with a Spiral ow restrictor. This ow restric-
tor is pre-installed inside of the drain connec-
tion elbow, it is maintenance free and does
not need to be replaced when the RO mem-
brane is changed.
