Start Up Instructions - Watts Premier WP-5 Installation, Operation And Maintanance Manual

Start up Instructions

Step 1 Turn on the incoming cold water at the angle stop valve. Open the needle valve on the
brass Adapta Valve by turning counter clockwise. Check the system for leaks and tighten
any fitting as necessary. (Check frequently over the next 24 hours to ensure no leaks are
present).
Step 2 Open the RO faucet and leave it open until water begins to trickle out, (it will come out
slowly).
Step 3
After water trickles out of the faucet, close RO faucet so the tank will fill with water. The
tank will take 6 to 10 hours at first to fill completely depending on the size of the
membrane, local water temperature and pressure.
Step 4
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.
Step 5 If system is connected to an Ice Maker, turn the Ice Maker off until flushing is complete and
the tank has refilled. The system should have an in-line 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 6 Register warranty by mail, phone, or internet. Watts Premier uses this information only to
provide a filter change reminder service. Pre-filters should be changed every six months.
You may register your warranty via our website at www.wattspremier.com or call 1-800-752-
5582 (within USA only).
NOTE: Your reverse osmosis system contains replaceable treatment components that are critical
for effective contaminant reduction. Periodic inspection and following proper system
maintenance is critical for continued performance.
