Annual Sanitization
NOTICE
Do not change your Granular Activated Carbon filter until the
sanitization has been completed. The Carbon Block and Reverse
Osmosis Membrane can be changed before the sanitization.
Step 1
- Turn off the water supply to your RO system at the
Adapt-a-Valve and open the RO faucet to drain the
storage tank.
NOTICE
If you have connected your RO system to a refrigerator/ice maker,
make sure the connection has been turned off. Do not re-open the
connection until the sanitization process is complete.
Step 2
- Locate the tube that runs between your filter module
and the storage tank and disconnect at both ends.
Step 3
- Drain any remaining water in the tube.
Step 4
- Hold both ends of the tube together with the ends
pointed away from your face. Using a dosing syringe
(see figure) slowly insert 1 teaspoon (5 mL) of
common household bleach into the tube.
