grab the tubing and seal it in place. Make sure
the tubing is pressed all the way in to create a
pressure tight connection.
E. Position the Drinking Water Holding Tank
and Make the Final Hose Connections.
1. Check the tank precharge pressure. Make sure
it is between 5 to 7 psig. If not, use a bicycle
hand pump or other pump to bring the pressure
up to the 5 to 7 psig range.
2. Pull the cap/plug off the top of the tank where
the Tank Shut–Off should go. (Refer to Fig. 1.)
3. Wrap Teon tape three times around the ¼"
male outlet thread. Wrap in the direction of

F. Start Up
At time of start up and each time the lters are
changed the system should be sanitized (also see
Operation and Maintenance Sec. V, B.1–4).
1. Sanitizing the system. Use a drip pan to aid
clean–up.
NOTE: The system should be sanitized
BEFORE installing the Sediment/Carbon
Prelter, the Activated Carbon Post Filter or
the R.O. Membrane.
•Useagoodqualityunscented5¼%liquid
chlorine household bleach.
•OpentheDispensingFaucetandopenthe
Holding Tank Shut–Off Valve (the handle
should be parallel with the valve body).
•Removetheplugontheundersideof
the manifold labeled “SEDIMENT/
CARBON”. Pour one capful of bleach (this is
approximately 2 tsp. or 10 ml) into one of the
white Housings. Insert a Housing O–ring into
the Housing groove, (press rmly in place).
Engage and rmly tighten the Housing hand
tight only.
•Removetheplugslabeled“MEMBRANE”
and “ACTIVATED CARBON” from the
underside of the manifold. To each of the
remaining white Housings, add one capful of
bleach. Insert a Housing O–ring, engage and
rmly tighten the Housings hand tight only.

Filter Housing (the farthest of the three from
the In–Out ports), empty, and install the
Sediment/Carbon Prelter. Firmly tighten the
Housing hand tight only.
•RemovetheActivatedCarbonFilterHousing
(the closest of the three to the
In–Out ports), empty, and install the
Activated Carbon Post Filter. Firmly tighten
the Housing hand tight only.
2. Installing the R.O. Membrane:
•RemovetheR.O.MembraneHousing,(the
middle one), and empty.
•InserttheMembraneupintothemanifold.
(The O–rings should be up toward the
manifold.) Check the Housing O–ring for
proper position in its groove, engage and
rmly tighten the Housing hand tight only.
3. Rinsing the system:
•SlowlyopentheFeedWaterSaddleValve
fully counter clockwise.
•TheHoldingTankValveshouldbeopen.
•ChecktheAirGapWindowonthe
Dispensing Faucet to be sure that the drain

making water.
•DonotopentheFaucetforatleast8hours.
•Donotusetherstthreefulltanksofwater.
CAUTION: The R.O. Membrane is shipped
with a preservative in it. To ensure proper
rinsing of the R.O. Membrane it is important
to wait at least 8 hours before emptying each
tank.
