NOTE: Remove the aerators or any restriction at the end of the faucets and let the faucets run for a few minutes
until water is free from foreign material that may have resulted from installation or material that typically
loosens up when shutting off and turning on the water at the main supply.

Once all bypassed water has been allowed to run clear - Shut off both hot and cold faucets.
NOTE: If water appears cloudy, allow to run for several more minutes until all air is expelled or until clear.
TANK FILL - SLOWLY
