Annual Sanitization
NOTICE
Do not change your post-carbon filter until the sanitization
has been completed.
The pre-filters and membrane can be changed before the
sanitization
Step A – 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 B – Locate the tube that runs be-
tween your filter module and the
storage tank and disconnect at
both ends.
Step C – Drain any remaining water in
the tube
Step D – 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.
WARNING
!
Do not use needle syringe
DANGER
!
IF BLEACH GETS IN EYES: Hold eye
open and rinse slowly and gently with
water for 15 - 20 minutes. Remove
contact lenses if present, after the
first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing
eye. Call a poison control center or
doctor for treatment advice.
Step E – While covering one end of the tube with your finger, insert
the other into the tank. Then insert the open end into the
filter module.
Step F – Turn the incoming water back on and let the system fill for
approximately 10 minutes
Step G – Turn off the incoming water and let the system sit
for 1 minute.
Step H – Drain the system completely and then follow the startup
procedure - filling then draining two full tanks of water.
Step I – Replace the post-carbon filter once complete.

the tank behind the blue plastic cap.
Step A – Turn off the incoming water
supply to the RO.
Step B – Open the RO Faucet and allow water to drain from the tank
until it is completely empty.
TIP: When water from the RO faucet slows to a trickle, with the
faucet still in the open position, you may add air to the tank
to purge any left over water, this will ensure that the tank is
completely empty.

using an air pressure gauge, it should read between 5 - 7
PSI. (Digital air pressure gauge is recommended)
Step D – Follow startup procedure on page 7.
Procedure for Extended Non-Use
(More than 2 months)
Step A – Turn off the water supply to your RO system at the
Adapt-A-Valve™ and open the RO faucet to drain the
