Step G - Sanitize, Test and Purge System
SANITIZE THE SYSTEM
Sanitizing is recommended immediately after
installation of the Reverse Osmosis system. It's
also recommended after servicing inner parts. It
is important that the person installing or servicing
the system have clean hands while handling
inner parts of the system.
Complete the following steps to sanitize the
system.
See Fig. 21.
1. Make sure that the water supply to the
Reverse Osmosis system is off.
2. Open the Reverse Osmosis faucet. If the tank
is not already empty, allow the water to empty.
3. Locate the eyedropper included in parts bag
and common household bleach (5.25%).
4. Add 3 ml of bleach into open end of yellow
tubing. Handle bleach according to bleach
manufacturer's recommendations. See Fig.
21.
5. Connect yellow tubing to tank connector. See
Figs.11 and 21.
6. Sanitizing the system will be completed
during the pressure test and purging steps on
the following page.
NOTE: The bleach must be removed from the
system before drinking the water. See purging
instructions on the next page.

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. Make sure the valve on the water supply
fitting (See Fig. 22) is in the open position.
3. Purge air from the house plumbing by opening
several house faucets. Close faucets when
water runs smooth,with no spurting.
4. 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:
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 Pressure from the Reverse Osmosis faucet will
be less than your standard 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.
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 system
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.

NOTE: As with all other water system applications,
leaks may occur. Because the system pressure
builds slowly, leaks may not be immediately
apparent. Recheck for leaks 24 hours after
purging the system is complete.
