Before starting the installation, any filters being used to filter the source water for the unit
must be flushed. This is important to rinse any loose carbon or debris from the filters so that it
does not plug another filter or membrane or end up inside the unit.
the unit before flushing the filters.
Whether the unit is paired with RO (Reverse Osmosis) or Carbon Filtration configurations, there
is a basic idea that applies to both: the filters, especially the carbon filters, must be flushed or
"rinsed." This section will cover how to do this process.
Regardless of the setup used, all sediment and carbon filters must have several gallons of water
flushed through them to properly rinse the filter. The filters should be flushed in the same
direction as flow (with one exception).
1. To begin, you will need a ¼" LLDPE tube connecting the unit to a water
supply, connected at the "Water In" port on the back of the machine. Install a
¼-turn valve just before the unit to easily turn the water on and off.
2. Have a bucket, pitcher, or sink ready to catch the flush water.
3. Remove the drip tray from the unit by pulling the tray straight out. Once removed,
locate the single screw that holds the lower front panel in place and remove it.
4. Remove the lower front panel of the unit. Press down on the top of the lower panel,
then pull away. The panel should hinge outward, and then come away from the unit
completely. Set this panel aside.
