System Startup

WARNING:
Before sending any water through your system fully check every connection
on the system. Remove any retaining clips and push the tubing into the quick
connect to ensure its fully inserted. Reinstall each retaining clip.
NOTE: DO NOT DRINK ANY WATER UNTIL COMPLETING THE FLUSHING PROCESS BELOW.
1. Turn the valve on your tank to the off position. This is to prevent any loose filters media from entering
your tank.
2. Open your cold water line fully then open your feed water adapter.
3. If your system is equiped with a booster pump plug in the electrical cord into your outlet.
4. If your system is equiped with a UV filter plug the electrical cord into your outlet.
5. Turn the handle on your reverse osmosis faucet to the open position. This may take up to 10 minutes
for water to begin to drip from the faucet. Once water begins to drip, let it run for 30 minutes.
6. After 30 minutes have passed close the reverse osmosis faucet and wait 10 minutes for the system
to pressurize. Once pressurized feel and visually check each fitting and connection for leaks.
If no leaks are present, proceed. If you do have a leak, locate the source and turn off the cold water valve.
Address the leak, if unable to resolve, contact our customer support.
7. Turn the tank ball valve to the open position.
8. Wait for the tank to fill, this will take approximately 1-3 hours.
9. Now that the tank is full, flush the system by opening the reverse osmosis faucet until the storage tank is
completely drained. The water flow will be reduced to a slow trickle once the tank is empty.
10. Repeat steps 6-7 three to five times to ensure your system is properly flushed. Once completed your system
is ready for use.
IMPORTANT: Check for leaks daily during the first two weeks after installation.
NOTE: Your water may have a slightly milky color during the first week of use. This is caused
by tiny air bubbles in the water and will go away with use.
NOTE: If your system has an alkaline filter your water's TDS will register higher. For accurate
testing, test water that has not been processed by the alkaline filter.
