Specifications

• Flush RO Membrane
The RO membrane must be flushed prior to use.
1. Turn on the supply valve to the system.
2. Allow the product water and flushing water to flow to a suitable drain for 24 hours.
• Check Performance
Check the performance of the system according to the procedure beginning on page 20 of this manual.
Storage Tank Preparation
• Check Air Pressure
Using a tire gauge with 1 psi increments, check the air pressure in the empty storage tank. The air pressure should be
between 5 and 15 psi, for the 2, 3 and 9 gallon storage tanks. Depending on the influent water pressure the air pressure may
need to be adjusted. Refer to page 25 to determine the optimal air pressure setting. To modify the air pressure use a bicycle-
type hand pump to increase the air pressure or depress the stem of the air valve to decrease the pressure.
NOTE: Changing the air pressure will alter the amount of water stored in the tank. Increasing the pressure will decrease
capacity while decreasing pressure will increase capacity.
• 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
over tighten the plastic valve onto the tank.
• Sanitize the Storage Tank
The reservoir must be flushed and sanitized prior to installation 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 tablespoon of Hydrogen Peroxide or 1 teaspoon of 5-1/4% liquid unscented
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:
1. Connect a length of 3/8” OD plastic tubing between the tank ball valve and the product water fitting (figure 5) 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 characteristics listed in Table 1.
4. Using 1/4” OD plastic tubing, connect the concentrate outlet to a suitable drain.
5. Turn on the water supply, open the tank ball valve, and allow the tank to fill (3-4 hours).
6. Once the tank is full, close the tank ball valve and disconnect the system so that it can be transported to the installation
site.
WARNING! Do not use the tank ball valve to lift or carry the tank.
