Flushing The System
1. Turn on the blue tank shut-off valve so that it is lined up in the same
direction of the tank tubing.
2. Turn the provided faucet on all the way for 10 minutes to purge all the
air out of the system. It is normal for some water to flow out of the faucet
during this first purge.
3. After the initial 10-minute purge, turn the provided faucet off and let the
system run for 90 minutes to allow the water tank to fill for the first time.
NOTE: Depending on water temperature and incoming water pressure, it may
take a shorter or longer period of time for the tank to fill.
4. When the tank is full, turn the faucet on all the way once more for 10
minutes (or until the tank empties) to flush the filters and the water tank.
5. Turn the faucet off.
6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 and flush the system 2 more times (total 3 flushes).
After the last flush, allow the tank to refill, and then filtered water will be
ready to drink.
7. Record installation date on the Filter Change Chart on page 21 or on the
provided sticker. For conveninence, you may place the sticker under the
sink or in another accessible place.
