Connecting The System; Putting The System Into Operation - Pentair PENTEK US-1000 Instruction Manual

7. Connecting the System

(A) Assemble tubing with system as shown in Fig. 7A, inserting tubing
into appropriate inlet or outlet quick-connect fitting until it stops.
NOTE: In some installations, connecting the system to the water
supply adapter and/or drinking water faucet causes the tubing to
enter the quick-connect fitting at a sharp angle. This may exert
pressure on the quick-connect fitting and cause it to leak. In these
situations, you may wish to use one or both of the quick-connect
elbows included with the installation kit. Simply push the quick-
connect elbow directly into the quick-connect fitting on the system,
then insert the tubing into the quick-connect elbow.
(B) When cut between a set of black guide arrows, the tubing should be
pushed into the fitting so that the entrance of the fitting falls between
the next set of guide arrows (approximately 5/8" [16 mm]).

8. Putting the System into Operation

(A) Slowly turn on cold water supply.
(B) Shut off faucet opened before starting installation.
(C) Open water supply adapter.
(D) R otate base of drinking water faucet counter-clockwise to "ON"
position. Allow water to run for 5 minutes to flush air and carbon
fines from filter cartridges. Check system for leaks before leaving
installation.
INSTALLATION IS NOW COMPLETE.
