Start up Instructions

Step 1
Turn on the incoming cold water. Check the system for leaks and tighten any fitting as
necessary. (Check over the next 24 hours to ensure no leaks are present).
Open the RO faucet and leave it open until water begins to trickle out. (it will come out
Step 2
slowly and may sputter at first The water may look dark, which is carbon from the final
filter. This is normal and will go away). Once the water begins to trickle out, close the RO
faucet.
The tank will take between 4 to 6 hours to fill completely (depending on the size of the
Step 3
membrane, local water temperature and pressure). After the tank has filled, open the RO
Faucet to flush the tank completely to remove carbon particles from final filter. Repeat this
step two more times. The fourth tank can be used for drinking. Note: The flushing of the
tank 3 times is only necessary during initial installation. This should take about a day to
complete.
If system is connected to an ice maker, turn the ice maker off (or do not allow water to
Step 4
flow to the ice maker) until Step 3 flushing is complete and the tank has been allowed to
completely fill. Connection from the RO to the ice maker system should have an in-line
valve installed before the ice maker so it can easily be closed to prevent water flowing to
the ice maker during start up and periodic maintenance. Your RO tank must be allowed to
fill up in order for the ice maker system to work properly. (If you are installing an ice maker
kit from Watts, tee off after the final filter).
