NOTE:
• The reverse osmosis membrane is treated with a food grade
sanitizing agent that may cause an undesirable taste.
Although it is not harmful, it should be flushed from the
system.
• The post-polishing filter may contain fine black carbon
particles. These fines are harmless, but may make the water
appear gray in colour. The carbon fines are flushed from the
system with the first tank full of water.
• The RO system does not produce a high volume of water on
demand as an ordinary filter does. Water is produced at a
slow, drop-by-drop rate. The system requires about 2 to 4
hours to fill the storage tank. As water is taken from the tank,
the system automatically starts the cycle of replacing the
water and then stops water production when the tank is full.
CAUTION:
leak is present, see Chapter "Troubleshooting"
(A) Turn off valve at top of storage tank.
(B) Turn on the cold water supply.
(C) Lift the faucet handle to lock it in the open position and let
it drip for 30 minutes.
(D) Completely open the cold water supply until it comes to a stop. Allow water to drip from the faucet for
3 more hours. Then close the faucet and open the valve on the storage tank. The tank valve is open
when the handle lines up with the tubing connection.
(E) Allow 2 to 4 hours for the tank to fill. Again, periodically check the installation for leaks. After the
storage tank is filled, open the faucet to flush the post-polishing filter. Allow 4 to 5 minutes for all of the
water to drain from the tank.
(F) Close faucet and allow tank to fill.
NOTE: Initially, the water may appear cloudy. This is a result of air trapped in the post-polishing filter. It is
not harmful and will disappear in a matter of minutes. It may take up to a week after installing a new
post-polishing filter for the trapped air to dissipate. The system is ready for operation. You can now
enjoy quality water from your Reverse Osmosis System.
Visually check the entire system for leaks. If a
