Startup Instructions
Step A– Turn on the incoming cold water at the angle stop valve .
Turn the knob on the Adapt-A-Valve™ by turning coun-
terclockwise . Check the system for leaks, and tighten any
fittings as necessary . (Check frequently over the next 24
hours to ensure no leaks are present) .
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 flushing is complete and the tank has
been allowed to fill completely. Connection from the RO to the
ice maker system should have an inline valve installed before
the ice maker so it can easily be closed to prevent water flowing
to the ice maker during startup and periodic maintenance. Your
RO tank must be allowed to fill up fully in order for the ice maker
system to work properly.
Step B – Open the RO faucet and leave it open until water begins to
trickle out . (It will come out slowly) .
Step C – After water trickles out of the faucet, close the RO faucet
allowing the storage tank to fill with water . It may take 4 to
6 hours to fill the tank completely depending on the pro-
duction capability of the membrane, local water tempera-
ture and water pressure .
Note: During the fill period, you may hear water trickling due to
the Reverse Osmosis Process.
Step D – After the Tank has filled, open the RO Faucet to flush the
tank completely to remove carbon particles from final filter .
You will know that the tank is empty when the flow rate
from the RO faucet is down to a trickle . Repeat this step
two more times . The fourth tank can be used for drinking .
Note: Flushing of the tank three times is only necessary during
the initial startup and after replacing the membrane.
Important: Your reverse osmosis system contains replaceable
treatment components that are critical for effective containment
reduction. Periodic inspection and following proper system
maintenance is critical for continued performance.
Step A – Remove the caps from the final
filter .
Step B – Thread the 3 ⁄
8
" grey plastic quick-
connect fittings into each end of
the Final Filter and tighten .
Step C – Cut the blue tubing between the
RO faucet and the RO module
at a desired locations to splice in
the in-line final filter .
Step D – With the directional flow arrow
on the final filter pointing towards
the faucet, insert the blue tubing
from the RO faucet into the fitting
on the final filter . Repeat this step
to connect the blue tubing from
the RO module into the inlet side
of the final filter .
