Sanitize the system.

CAUTION: Before adding the sanitizing
agent, be sure to remove all cartridges as
described above. Chlorine will destroy the
Reverse Osmosis Cartridge. Sanitizing the
system is done with the reverse osmosis
cartridge and filter cartridges removed
from the system.

Before reinstalling the PREFILTER
sump, fill this sump with cold water to
about 1

″ from the O-ring. Add one

ounce (two tablespoons) of ordinary
5.25% household chlorine bleach
(Hilex, Clorox, etc.) and mix into the
water. DO NOT ADD CHLORINE FIRST.
Concentrated chlorine may damage plastic.

Carefully reinstall the sump onto the
Reverse Osmosis System and tighten
securely by hand.

Close the RO water faucet and turn on
the water supply valve to the system.
Allow system to fill for one minute.

NOTE: Various sounds will occur during the
sanitizing. DO NOT USE WATER DURING
SANITIZATION.

Open the RO water faucet, locking the
lever upward against the spout. Allow
water to flow through the Reverse
Osmosis system until all bleach odor
is gone (approximately 20 minutes).

Turn off the water supply valve to the
system, but leave the RO water faucet
open. When the flow of water stops,
proceed to Step 9.

Be sure hands have been cleaned with anti-
bacterial soap. Repeat Steps 3–6 and 8b;
however, reinstall the Reverse Osmosis
Cartridge from the bag and the new
PREFILTER and POSTFILTER instead of
removing them. Lightly lubricate the inlet
cover and sump O-rings with clean silicone
grease only.

NOTE: The Reverse Osmosis Cartridge is
notched and may need to be rotated during
reinstallation for proper fit.

Turn on water supply valve to the Reverse
Osmosis System and allow approximately
four hours for the system to regenerate and
stabilize. Check the system for leaks. The
system may make some sounds during this
period. This is normal.

Replace the “AA” alkaline batteries in
the control box. Good batteries are necessary
to ensure proper indicator light operation.
Weak batteries may give a false indication.
Batteries should be changed every six months.

Before first use after filter changes, purge the
system by opening RO water faucet for one
minute to remove any harmless carbon
particles. If the system is connected to your
refrigerator icemaker, reset the icemaker
feeler arm to the on (down) position after
the four-hour regeneration period.
