System Start Up - Global Water Water Box Operation Manual

System Start-up
Once all your connections are complete you are ready to prime or flush
the filters. To do this simply turn on the water and open the faucet. You
will notice water coming out of the drain line. This is normal and will
stop when the Water Box is completely filled with water.
Let the system flush through the faucet for about an hour. In that time
you will notice fine black carbon particles. These particles are harmless,
but may make the water appear grey in color.
Note: The reverse osmosis membrane is treated with a food grade
sanitizing agent that may cause an undesirable taste. Although it is not
harmful, it should be flushed from the system.
NOTE: The RO system does not produce a high volume of water on
demand as an ordinary filter does. Water is produced at a slow, drop-by-
drop rate. The system requires about 30 minutes to fill the storage tank.
As water is taken from the tank, the system automatically starts the
cycle of replacing the water and then stops water production when the
tank is full.
CAUTION: Visually check the entire system for leaks. If a leak is
present, make sure all of your connections are pushed in tightly.
NOTE: Initially, the water may appear cloudy. This is a result of air
trapped in the post-polishing filter. It is not harmful and will disappear in
a matter of minutes. It may take up to a week after installing a new
post-polishing filter for the trapped air to dissipate.
