    IMPORTANT: Do not over-tighten the fittings. Re-pressurize the ozone system and perform filter flush prior to consuming produced water. Follow instruction with your specific cartridge filter. This will require a minimum of 30 to 45 minutes of flush time, depending on the cartridge. IMPORTANT: Ensure the proper filter flush process is performed IMPORTANT: prior to using the filters to purify the water.
