CARTRIDGE FLUSH & LEAK TEST
5. ❏ Before connecting unit to output pipe: Flush the carbon fines out of system for 5
minutes, then connect the output of the unit to applicable pipe/s.
Note: You’d need to install a drain/bypass faucet valve right at the output of the system,
so you can easily connect a garden hose for flushing new cartridges and bypassing the
plumbing of your home when necessary. A 2nd such valve can also be installed before
the Input of the filter, in case you want to connect garden hose to wash car, and not use
the filtered water for this. During initial flushing, the output water will be black with
harmless carbon dust, please ensure you catch this water so to avoid it muddying your
place of install.
Note: Carefully check all connection points for any leaks, if none are found, open main
water supply to normal flow and continue checking for leaks.
IMPORTANT! Ensure that the PSI reading on the pressure gauge is not more than
90PSI (install pressure regulator if it’s above this reading). If Pressure is below 45PSI, a
booster pump may be necessary to maintain adequate water pressure in the home.
6. ❏ Once Flush is complete, connect the unit to the appropriate output pipe to send
filtered water to your water heater and whole house.
7. ❏ ❏ Turn on full flow for both hot and cold water in your bathtub and sink faucets
for 15-20 minutes to ensure the cartridges get flushed and primed further and that
the old water from the hot water heater is renewed.
Note: Typical Hot Water Heater stores 40 - 75 gallons of water, so it may take a few
days to a week (depending how much water is used in your household) to fully clear out
old water from hot water heater.
8. ❏ Continue to check on the system everyday for a week and from time to time
thereafter to ensure there are no leaks and that the PSI reading remains below 90.
Note: A leak controller device w/ auto water shut off can be installed for added security.
The system features durable double O-ring seals, and all the O-rings in the housings are
already pre-lubricated with a Premium Food-Grade NSF & FDA Compliant Silicone
Lubricant for improved leak resistance.
Congratulations, your new system is now ready to provide clean water to your entire
home!
THE FILTER SYSTEM IS DESIGNED FOR COOL - COLD WATER USE ONLY.
Do not allow hot water to run through the filter system.
