Question: How do I start my RO SYSTEM ?

Answer:

Step 1 – Shut the storage tank valve off to avoid any water from entering the storage tank. Then turn on the cold water supply valve to the sink. Check for leaks around self piercing valve.

Step 2 – Open R.O. faucet on sink. Then open valve on the self piercing valve to turn on water to the RO system. You will hear water gurgling as it fills the RO system. It may take up to 15 minutes before dripping out of the faucet and at first the water may be black because of the carbon filter (s). Let water drip out of faucet for 15 minutes and then close faucet.

Step 3 – Open the ball valve on storage tank. If this is a new RO system, you will need to let the tank fill for 6 to 10 hours – depending on the RO membrane capacity. Then open the RO faucet which you installed previously. Drain the tank completely – possibly 15 to 20 minutes. Close the RO faucet and repeat this procedure two more times before using the water for drinking purposes. If you are changing filters, your tank will likely already be full, so you can open the faucet and empty the storage tank. Then proceed to rinse the tank two more times.

Step 4 – Check for leaks frequently during the first week and then occasionally thereafter.
