Start Up Instructions - Watts Premier 5 SV DELUXE Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

Start up Instructions

Note: If unit is supplied with GAC Carbon Filters (hard plastic case) you will need to start at step # 1
in this section. If unit is supplied with Carbon Block Filters (mesh covering) you may skip to
Step 4 of this section.
Step 1 Disconnect the green tube that runs from the 3
Valve and place it in a bucket.
Step 2 Turn on the cold water supply and allow water to flow into the bucket until the water is clear (as
shown in the 6 month System Maintenance section steps 10 and 11.) Then turn off the
incoming water supply.
Step 3 Reconnect the green tube to the Automatic Shut-Off Valve and tighten with 5/8" wrench. (If the
system is hooked up to an Ice Maker see the note below.)
Step 4 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).
Step 5 Open the RO faucet and leave it open until water begins to trickle out. (it will come out slowly)
Step 6 The tank will take between 4 to 6 hours to fill completely (depending on the size of the
membrane, local water temperature and pressure). After the Tank has filled, open the RO
Faucet and flush the Tank completely and to remove carbon particles from final filter.
There is an average of 4 gallons of reject water for every 1 gallon of product water produced.
Note: If system is hooked up to an Ice Maker, turn Ice Maker off until tank has filled, then flushed and
refilled before allowing water to flow to Ice Maker. The system should have a ball valve
installed before the Ice Maker so it can be closed to prevent water flowing to the Ice Maker.
Your tank must be allowed to fill up in order for the unit to shut off. (If you are installing an Ice
Maker Kit, tee off after the final filter).
Step 7 Fill out postage paid warranty card (phone no. is necessary for registration) and drop it in the
mail. Premier uses this information to provide a free filter change reminder service. Pre-filters
should be changed every six months. You may also register your warranty via our website at
www.wattspremier.com or call 1-800-752-5582 (within USA only).
Step 8 Inspect the reverse osmosis system periodically to ensure the unit is functioning properly.
