Unit Start Up - Reverse Osmosis Genesis Installation Manual

UV LIGHT INSTALLATION (Optional Accessory)
Note: UV lamps should be replaced annually to remain effective.
Turn off water supply and de-pressurize unit. If needed cut the faucet line where the UV is to be
installed. Attach the 2 tubing ends to the UV, flow direction does not matter. Plug the
transformer and UV light connectors together. Plug transformer into an appropriate voltage
electrical outlet. On some models, one end of the UV tube will illuminate.
BOOSTER PUMP INSTALLATION (Optional Accessory)
Note: Booster pumps are installed before the RO membrane.
Turn off water supply and de-pressurize unit. Cut tubing line
going to the storage tank and connect tubing ends to the
pressure shut off switch (TSOS). Connect one TSOS wire
connector to the transformer and the other to pump connector.
Optional Solenoid: Cut feed line to the RO system and
connect tubing ends to the solenoid shut off switch (P-ESOS).
Note flow direction arrow. Use Y-splitter (P-TSOY) to link,
pump, shut-off and transformer. Refer to schematic on page 7.
After all connections are made, plug the transformer into an
appropriate voltage electrical outlet.

6. Unit Start Up

The RO unit may be mounted on the wall though not necessary. To mount, use the bracket holes on the RO unit as a guide,
and with the screws provided in the install pack, mount the system in the desired location.
With all tubing connections complete, turn on the cold water supply to the RO unit and open all ball valves. Ball valves are
open when the handle runs parallel to the tubing. Immediately check the entire system for leaks. If you notice any leaks turn
off water supply and tighten where necessary. With the RO system on, lift the drinking faucet handle until water begins to drip
out. Next, close the faucet to allow the tank to fill. This may take 3-4 hours depending on size of system. Once the tank is full
it is recommended to flush completely. Open and leave open the drinking water faucet until the water coming out again slows
to a dribble. This signifies the tank is empty. The drinking faucet can then be closed to allow the tank to fill again. At this
point the water is ready for consumption.
Note: The first tank of water is not recommended for consumption. Additionally, carbon filters may leach carbon dust fines on
startup. This may discolor the water initially, but should clear up quickly.
