Start-Up Procedure WARNING: To prevent microbiological growth and freezing, this reverse osmosis system contains a preservative solution which, if ingested, may cause irritation of the gastrointestinal tract, colic, diarrhea or other similar symptoms. Therefore, 5 gallons (approximately two full tanks) must be drawn from the spigot to flush out the preservative.
Maintenance Schedule This schedule is designed for the average potable water supply and should be followed to ensure the proper functioning of your drinking water system. Pre-Filter - The pre-filter contains a 5 micron mechanical filter element. Its function is to remove suspended particles from the feed water, thus reducing the possibility of clogging the reverse osmosis membrane.
Sanitization Procedures for your Reverse Osmosis System Sanitization is a simple but important part of a regular maintenance routine required to keep your Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System operating properly. Recording the dates of all maintenance and sanitization done on the unit is a good idea as well as marking on your calendar future service interval dates.

Sanitization Steps STEP 1: TURN OFF WATER SUPPLY - CLOSE INLET SUPPLY NEEDLE VALVE ALL THE WAY STEP 2: DEPRESSURIZE SYSTEM - OPEN FAUCET SUPPLY UNTIL ALL WATER IS EMPTIED Use a clean drip pan or basin to continue to catch any spilled water remaining in the housings as you remove the membrane and cartridges.

STEP 8: POUR THE MIXED DISINFECTANT SOLUTION INTO THE 1ST PRE-FILTER SUMP AND RE-INSTALL. STEP 9: OPEN THE INLET SADDLE VALVE AND OPEN THE FAUCET. WHEN WATER BEGINS RUNNING FROM THE FAUCET AGAIN, CLOSE THE FAUCET AND ALLOW THE PRESSURE TANK TO FILL FOR 5 - 10 MINUTES. WHEN THE PRESSURE TANK FEELS LIKE IT HAS FILLED, CLOSE THE INLET SUPPLY NEEDLE VALVE.
