Connecting The Tubes Using Quick-Connect Fittings; Refrigerator Hook-Up (Optional); Start-Up Instructions - PUR PUN3RO Manual Del Propietário

Installation Instructions (continued):
Connecting the Tubes Using Quick-Connect Fittings (See Figure 14, 15 and 16):
Each plumbing connection point has a Colored Plug to match the color of the
tubing for simple installation reference. Discard plugs after the tubing has been installed.
Quick-connect fittings are used throughout the system. To ensure an optimal seal, tubing should be cut with the end square.
An angled cut or distortion of the tubing will not provide a proper seal and may cause leaks.
1. Remove the Blue Horseshoe Clip from the Collet.
2. Pull out and discard the Colored Plug by pushing the Collet inward and holding with your fingers.
3. Insert Tubing into the Collet. Full engagement is 11/16" length of the Tubing into the Fitting for 1/4" Tubing, and 3/4" length
for 3/8" Tubing.
NOTE: Ensure the Tubing is pushed all the way into the backstop.
4. Re-install the Blue Horseshoe Clip into the Collet.

Refrigerator Hook-Up (optional):

Install 1/4" polypropylene plastic tubing if your refrigerator is within 25 ft. of your RO unit. Do not use copper tubing for RO product
water. If the refrigerator is over 25 ft from the RO Unit it is recommended to use 3/8" tubing. Install a tee in the blue tubing
between the outlet of the system and the faucet. It is recommended to install a ball valve in the line to your ice maker to allow
pressure to increase sufficiently in the storage tank for the ice maker solenoid valve to operate properly. Leave the ball valve in the
closed position until the tank is full after the start-up procedure is completed.

Start-up Instructions:

NOTE: If you have connected your RO system to a refrigerator/ice maker, make sure the ice maker is off. Do not
allow water to flow to the ice maker until flush is complete and the tank has been allowed to fill completely.
Connection from the RO to the icemaker system should have an inline valve installed before the icemaker so it
can easily be closed to prevent water flowing to the ice maker during start-up and periodic maintenance.
Your RO tank must be allowed to fill up fully for the ice maker system to work properly.
1. Turn Inlet Valve and Storage Tank Ball Valve both in open position.
2. Ensure the RO Faucet is closed.
3. Slowly open the cold water supply valve that you closed at the beginning of the installation process.
4. Water pressure will start to build up in the RO system in about 2 hours as pressure builds in the Storage Tank. Carefully
inspect all Fittings and Connections. Check for leaks and fix if any are found.
5. You must fill and purge a minimum of 2 tanks of RO water before it is ready for consumption.
6. After purging, your RO system is ready for use.
NOTE: You will not have filtered water immediately. It will take 2 hours to
completely fill the Storage Tank to create liberal flow from the RO Faucet.
