7. Reconnect the 3/8” yellow tubing to the back of the filtration assembly. Reconnect the 1/4” orange tubing to the
feed water fitting on the filtration assembly.
III. Flush Instructions
1. With the tank valve closed (the tank should still contain the sanitizing solution at this point) disconnect the 3/8"
blue product line tubing from the cooler and run to drain. Open the feed line water valve. Water should begin to
drip from the line within several minutes. Continue to flush the system for 1 hour. Water will steadily drip from the
line at this time. During this procedure, the tank is being intentionally bypassed in order to thoroughly sanitize the
tank and also flush the membrane. Open the feed line water valve.
2. After flushing for 1 hour, open the tank valve and allow the tank to completely empty. When the tank is empty, the
blue tubing will drip steadily.
3. Allow the system to operate in this condition for 24 hours.
4. Close the ball valve and reinspect the appliance for leaks. Allow the tank to fill completely (it will take
approximately 1-2 hours), then drain the tank again. The water should be discarded because it may contain
some preservative / sanitizing solution.
5. The cooler should be ready to use as soon as the tank refills. If any objectionable taste is noticed after the
second tankful is drained, instruct the customer to wait and drain the tank the following day.
IV. Operation and Maintenance Instructions
Replacing the Filter Cartridges
The life of the prefilter cartridge generally depends on the local water conditions (i.e., sediment, rust and/or
chlorine levels) while the life of the postfilter cartridge(s) is generally determined by the length of service. It is
recommended that the cartridges be replaced as noted below.
When to Replace the Sediment/Carbon Prefilter Cartridge
• Every 18 months or based upon your dealer's recommendation and knowledge of the local water conditions.
• A noticeable decrease in water production may be an indication that the prefilter requires more frequent changing.
• Recommended maximum sediment/carbon prefilter service life is 18 months.
When to Replace the Carbon Postfilter Cartridge
• If the filter is being used to control tastes and odors, replace it every 18 months.
IMPORTANT NOTES
• If you encounter diffi culty in removing the tubing from the tank, make sure the tank valve is closed and then cut the yellow tubing approxi-
mately 1” away from the tank valve fi tting to relieve the pressure. Remove the 1” piece from the tank fi tting.
• If an alternate storage tank is used, it should be sanitized with household bleach (5-1/4%). Use 3 ml. (1/2 teaspoon) of bleach for a 2.5
gallon tank.
• After the installation is complete, it is recommended that the 3/8” x 1/4” union connector be saved for future use in tank sanitization.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
• The disposable fi lter cartridge MUST be replaced every 18 months, at the rated capacity or if a noticeable reduction in fl ow rate occurs.
