Install 1/4" polypropylene plastic tubing if your refrigerator is within 25 ft. of your RO unit. Do not use copper
tubing since an objectionable taste can result in the ice cubes. If the refrigerator is over 25 ft from the RO
Unit it is recommended to use 3/8" tubing. Install a tee in the blue tubing between the final post filter and the
faucet. It is recommended to install a ball valve in the line to your ice maker to allow pressure to increase
sufficiently in the storage tank for the ice maker solenoid to operate properly. Leave the ball valve in the
closed position until the tank is full after the start up procedure is completed.

This model has a booster pump to increase the pressure in the line. The increase line pressure produces more
gallons per day since the membrane is operating more efficiently. To put an electrical outlet in the cabinet
below the kitchen sink consult an electrician.

Step 1 Turn on the incoming cold water ball valve and the main under sink valve but close the storage tank
ball valve.
Step 2 Check System for leaks, tighten if necessary.
NOTE: If you have connected your RO system to a refrigerator/ice maker, make sure the ice maker is off
(do not allow water to flow to the ice maker until flush is complete and the tank has been allowed to
fill completely. Connection from the RO to the icemaker system should have an in-line valve installed
before the icemaker 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 fully for the ice maker system
to work properly.
Step 3 Open the RO Faucet and leave it open until water begins to trickle out (it will come out slowly). It will
take 2 minutes for the water to start to drip. Let the water drip for 10 minutes.
Step 4 Close the RO faucet allowing the storage tank to fill with water. It may take 3.5 hours to fill the tank
completely depending on the production capability of the membrane, local water temperature and
water pressure.
CAUTION: Do not drink the water from the first 3 tanks produced by your newly
purchased system.
Step 5 After the tank is full (you will hear the water stop), open the RO Faucet to flush the tank completely.
You will know that the tank is empty when the flow rate from the RO faucet is down to a trickle.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you have discarded 3 tanks of water.
Step 6 Close the RO faucet and allow the holding tank to refill. The process will take 3 to 3.5 hours to
complete.
Step 7 When the tank is full you can enjoy the RO water for drinking and cooking.
Step 8 Check for leaks daily for the first week and periodically thereafter.
Step 9 During the first week you may notice a milky colour. These are simply air bubbles in the water. The
water is safe to drink.
