Start-Up Procedure - AQUALUX AQLXC-5RO Operating Manual

1. Check to see all connections are made.
2. Check that all of the pre-filter and postfilter housings are secure.
3. Slowly turn on the water by turning the needle valve counterclockwise.
4. The valve handle on top of the tank should be in the open position, parallel to the valve body.
5. The black handle of the long reach faucet should be perpendicular to the spigot (closed).
6. Check for leaks.
7. The reverse osmosis drinking water system processes drinking water at a slow rate and may require 6 to
8 hours before water is readily available from the long reach faucet on a continual basis. It will take
longer if also connected to a refrigerator ice maker.
CAUTION FOR YOUR SAFETY BEFORE USING THE WATER FROM YOUR UNIT READ THE
DO NOT use the first tank of water. Drain the first full tank of water to the drain in order to purge entrapped
air from the system and rinse down the new carbon filter. This process prepares the system to produce quality
water.
NOTE: The first few tanks of water may have very small air bubbles in the processed water. It will clear itself
with normal use or you may drain the tank additional times.
N O T I C E: THE PERFORMANCE OF YOUR WATER SYSTEM IS AFFECTED BY WATER
TEMPERATURE AND WATER PRESSURE.
Your water system has been tested to verify that it will reject at least 90% of the total dissolved solids in the tap
water and produce the required gallons of quality water in a 24 hour period. These tests were performed at
standard conditions in which the tap water was at approximately 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees C) with a
water pressure of 60 psi. Actual performance in your home will vary if the water temperature and pressure are
different from these standards.
At temperatures lower than 68 degrees Fahrenheit the amount of water produced will decrease by about 0.1
gallons for each degree of temperature less than 68 degrees Fahrenheit.
At pressures lower than 60 psi, the amount of water produced will decrease by about 0.1 gallons for each 1 psi
lower than 60 psi.
