Check Air Pressure in the Tank
NOTICE
Check air pressure only when tank is empty of water!
Check air pressure in the storage tank when you notice a decrease in available water from the RO sys-
tem. Air can be added with a bicycle pump using the schrader valve that is located on the lower side of
the tank behind the blue plastic cap.
Step 1:
Turn off the incoming water supply to the RO.
Step 2:
Open the RO Faucet and allow water to drain from the tank
until it is completely empty.
TIP:
When water from the RO faucet slows to a trickle, with the
faucet still in the open position, you may add air to the
tank to purge any left over water, this will ensure that the
tank is completely empty.
Step 3:
Once all water in the tank is purged, check air pressure using an air pressure gauge, it
should read between 5 - 7 PSI. (Digital air pressure gauge is recommended)
Step 4:
Follow startup procedure on page 12.
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 filter cartridges (order not important), place
them into a sealed plastic bag and store in your refrigerator.
NOTICE
DO NOT FREEZE
To Restart System:
Step 1:
Reinstall all filters on to the RO unit. Filters are color coded to match the filter heads they
snap in to. Refer to page 13 step three for cartridge installation procedure.
Step 2:
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).
NOTICE
If you have connected your RO system to a refrigerator / ice maker, make sure the
ice maker is off (do not allow water to flow to the ice maker) until the tank has been
allowed to completely fill.
Step 3:
Open the RO faucet and leave it open until water begins to trickle out (it will come out
slowly).
Step 4:
Close the RO faucet allowing the storage tank to fill with water. It may take 3 to 6 hours
to fill the tank completely depending on the production capability of the membrane, local
water temperature and water pressure.
Step 5:
After the Tank has filled, open the RO Faucet to flush the tank completely. You will know
that the tank is empty when the flow rate from the RO faucet is down to a trickle. The
second tank can be used for drinking.
