IN-PLANT PREPARATION / 9
1. Connect a length of 3/8" OD plastic tubing between
the tank valve and (Fig. 5) the product water fitting
on the manifold.
2. Insert a 3/8" OD tubing plug into the faucet product
water fitting on the manifold.
3. Using 1/4" OD plastic tubing, connect the system
inlet to a water source meeting the characteris-
tics listed in Table 1.
4. Using 1/4" OD plastic tubing, connect the concen-
trate outlet to a suitable drain.
5. Turn on the water supply, open the tank valve, and
allow the tank to fill (3-4 hours).
6. Once the tank is full, close the tank valve and discon-
nect the system so that it can be transported to the
installation site.
WARNING! DO NOT USE THE TANK VALVE TO
LIFT OR CARRY THE TANK.
Faucet Preparation
The Aqua-Cleer/Good Water Machine faucet may be
assembled prior to installation in the customer’s home. Refer
to the faucet installation section beginning on page 12 for
details.
Polishing Filter Preparation
The polishing filter must be flushed prior to use to remove
any carbon dust generated during shipment.
1. Using 3/8" OD plastic tubing, connect the inlet of the
filter to a source of clean filtered water (RO or DI
water, if available). Observe the direction of flow
arrow on the filter.
2. Turn on the water supply and flush the filter with at
least 2 gallons of water.
3. Turn off the water supply, disconnect the filter, and
set aside for final installation.
FIG. 6
• Install Tank shut-off valve
Use a high quality, food-grade thread sealant or PTFE tape to
assemble the valve onto the tank.To avoid future leaks, do
not overtighten the plastic valve onto the tank.
• Sanitize the Storage Tank
The reservoir must be flushed and sanitized prior to installa-
tion as follows:
1. Connect a length of 3/8" OD plastic tubing to the tank
valve.
2. With an eyedropper or similar device, inject 1 table-
spoon of Hydrogen Peroxide or 1 teaspoon of 5-1/4%
liquid chlorine bleach into the tube.
3. Connect the tubing to a source of clean, filtered
water (RO or DI water, if available) at no more than
40 psi.
4. Turn on the water supply, open the tank valve, and
allow the tank to fill.
5. Turn off the water supply, close the tank valve, and
allow the tank to sit ten minutes.
6. Disconnect the tubing from the supply, open the tank
valve, and drain the storage tank.
7. The water coming from the storage tank should have
a chlorine odor. If not, repeat steps 2-6 until it does.
8. Fill and empty the tank (steps 3,4,6) until only a faint
chlorine odor remains. The polishing filter will
remove any residual chlorine taste once the system is
installed.
• Fill the Storage Tank (optional)
So that your customers can begin using their new Aqua-
Cleer

system immediately upon
installation, you may wish to fill the storage tank with RO
product water. Once the in-plant preparation of the Filter
Assembly (prior section) is complete, proceed as follows:
