Step G -

Sanitize, Test and Purge System

(cont.)

PRESSURE TEST THE SYSTEM

NOTE: Complete the sanitizing procedures on the

preceding page before pressure testing.
To pressure test the system, complete the following

steps.
1. Open the water supply valve to the Reverse

Osmosis system.

2. Purge air from the house plumbing by opening sev-

eral house faucets. Close faucets when water runs

smooth, with no spurting.

3. Pressure will start to build in the RO system. In

about 2 hours check all fittings and connections.

Check for water leaks. Fix leaks if any are found. If

problems exist, refer to the troubleshooting chart or

call the toll free number below).

NOTE: When the system is first pressurized, water

may ''spurt'' from the faucet air gap hole until air is

expelled from the RO system.
Please review the following operating features

before using your Reverse Osmosis system:

NOTE: As with all other water system applications,

leaks may occur. Because the system pressure

builds slowly, leaks may not be immediately appar-

ent. Recheck for leaks 24 hours after purging the

system is complete.

NOTE: Codes in the state of Massachusetts require

installation by a licensed plumber and do not per-

mit the use of saddle valves.
If you live in the state of Massachusetts, review

plumbing code 248-CMR of the Commonwealth of

Massachusetts before proceeding with the installa-

tion.

PURGING THE SYSTEM

To purge the system, complete the following steps.
1. Open the Reverse Osmosis Faucet and let water

flow through the system for a 24 hour period. Water

flow will be a slow trickle at this time.

NOTE: Do not consume water from the RO sys-

tem until purging is complete.

2. Close the Reverse Osmosis faucet after the 24 hour

purging period is complete.

3. When the purging is finished, your Reverse

Osmosis system is ready for use.

You will not have filtered water immediately. It may

take several hours to fill the storage tank and create

maximum flow from the Reverse Osmosis faucet.

Water will run to the drain while the Reverse

Osmosis system is producing water, even if you are

not drawing water from the Reverse Osmosis faucet.

You may hear a small quantity of water going to the

drain at times when water is not being used. This is

normal. Water going to the drain will automatically

shut off when the storage tank is full.

Water Pressure from the Reverse Osmosis faucet will

be less than your standard faucet.
