13. Faucet Operation
A) For water flow, rotate the handle 1/4-turn until it stops.

14. System Start-up
NOTE: The reverse osmosis membrane is treated with a food grade
sanitizing agent that may cause an undesirable taste . Although it is
not harmful, it should be flushed from the system.
NOTE: The post-polishing filter may contain fine black carbon
particles. These fines are harmless, but may make the water appear
gray in color. The carbon fines are flushed from the system with the
first tank full of water.
NOTE: The RO system does not produce a high volume of water on
demand as an ordinary filter does. Water is produced at a slow, drop-
by-drop rate. The system requires about 2 to 4 hours to fill the storage
tank . As water is taken from the tank, the system automatically starts
the cycle of replacing the water and then stops water production
when the tank is full .
CAUTION: Visually check the entire system for leaks . If a leak is
present, see Troubleshooting .
A) Turn off valve at top of storage tank .
B) Turn on the cold water supply .
C) Turn the faucet handle 1/4 turn to the open position and let it drip
for 30 minutes .
D) Completely open the cold water supply until it comes to a stop .
Allow water to drip from the faucet for 12 more hours . Then close
the faucet and open the valve on the storage tank . The tank valve
is open when the handle lines up with the tubing connection .
E) A llow 3 hours for the tank to fill. Again, periodically check the
installation for leaks. After the storage tank is filled, open the
faucet to flush the post-polishing filter. Allow 4 to 5 minutes for all
of the water to drain from the tank .
F) Close faucet and allow tank to fill.
G) Repeat steps E and F four times .
NOTE: Initially, the water may appear cloudy . This is a result of air
trapped in the post-polishing filter. It is not harmful and will disappear
in a matter of minutes . It may take up to a week after installing a new
post-polishing filter for the trapped air to dissipate.
The system is ready for operation . You can now enjoy quality water
from your Reverse Osmosis System .

TESTING YOUR REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM
Model RO-2050 Reverse Osmosis System
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Test
NOTE: Under NSF/ANSI Standard 58, it is highly recommended that
you (the consumer) have your water tested at least every 6 months to
verify that your system is performing satisfactorily .
