Start-Up - Rainfresh Drinking Water System 3 Manuel Utilisateur

 With rubber gasket in position clamp entire assembly to pipe using bolts provided. Tighten bolts, keeping brackets
parallel until rubber gasket is firmly compressed. CAUTION: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Do not turn handle yet.
 Measure and cut (if necessary) remaining length of plastic tubing from the INLET fittings (2553). Slide compression
nut (720-0) and compression sleeve (721-1) onto tube and put tube insert (722-0) into tube as shown in Fig. 8
 Push tube into end of saddle clamp fitting and hold firmly in place. Securely tighten the compression nut while
holding other end of fitting with a wrench. Connect other end of tubing to INLET fitting (2553) as shown in Fig. 6A.
Step 5 : Start up
 Remove wrapping from carbon cartridge (CF2) and carefully place it into
the sump (on the side of the inlet fitting – see page 8) with blue gasket
facing up. Align the sump under the filter head and pull the cartridge up
with one hand and push blue gasket over boss of white head (see Fig.9).
Pull sump up and rotate clockwise 1/8 turn to align the sump grooves
with lugs on the head (2501) to lock position (Fig. 10)

Repeat above procedure for post filter model LR1 in the middle sump

Now remove wrapping on the 1M ceramic cartridge and carefully place it into the sump with open end facing up.
Align the sump under the filter head and pull the cartridge up with one hand and push the cartridge seal into the
boss of white head (outlet side). Pull sump and lock into position (Fig. 10). Note: Bottom of sump has guides to
contain 1M cartridge. Sump will not lock unless bottom of cartridge is between guides.

Turn faucet handle on to ON position.

Turn supply valve handle clockwise firmly until you can turn it no further. YOU HAVE NOW PIERCED THE PIPE
AND CLOSED THE VALVE. Now turn valve counter clockwise all the way to open and start water flow. For best
results, the saddle valve should be opened fully which will deliver approximately 3/4 gallons (2.8 litres) per
minute.
Close faucet and check all connections for leaks. Carefully retighten any leaking fittings. Check the unit a few times for
slow leaks shortly after installation.
Flushing and conditioning: Allow water to flow for 10 minutes to flush unit then close faucet and allow unit to sit
overnight to condition. In the morning flush unit briefly before beginning service. YOUR UNIT IS NOW IN OPERATION.
NOTE: In some cases with low water pressure, the OUTLET sump may only partially fill due to an air block. If this happens,
turn off faucet and press top vent button until water level rises past the sealing point on sump. NOTE: It is normal for the
water to initially have some carbon fines (tiny black particles). It is also normal for the water to appear cloudy for the
first few days and is safe to drink. The cloudiness is caused by small air bubbles that get displaced from the filters. If you
leave the water standing for a few seconds, the cloudiness will disappear. Running the unit for extended periods of time
will NOT help.
