| How do I Start Up my reverse osmosis system? |
| 1. Disconnect the GREEN tube at the automatic shut-off valve and place in a bucket. 2. Turn on cold water supply and allow water to flow into bucket until clear. Turn off incoming water supply. 3. Reconnect green tube to automatic shut-off valve. 4. Turn on cold water supply valve and the under sink water valve. 5. Open reverse osmosis faucet. (Move the black lever to the "up" position). 6. Check the system for leaks. In the event of a leak, the cold water supply can be turned off and the leaking item tightened. 7. After about 20 minutes, or when water is dripping out of the reverse osmosis faucet, flip the handle to the closed position. It will now take between 6 and 10 hours for the tank to fill, based on your local water temperature and pressure. Caution: Do not drink the water from the first tank produced by your newly purchased system or newly replaced membrane. 8. After the tank is full (you will hear no water running to the tank), flush the system by placing the reverse osmosis faucet in open position until the water is completely discharged from the storage tank. 9. Upon complete discharge of the storage tank, flip the handle to the closed position and let the tank refill. This process may take another 6 to 10 hours. 10. Check for leaks daily for the first week and periodically thereafter. Home Page | FAQs | Glossary | Contact Us |
