CARE AND CLEANING: Sanitizing\Filters\Water Test Kit
Sanitizing the Reverse Osmosis System
Sanitize upon installation of the Reverse Osmosis
system and after servicing inner parts, including
replacement of prefilter, postfilter and the membrane
cartridge.
Be sure to wash your hands before handling inner parts
of the system.
IMPORTANT — Before sanitizing, be sure to
remove all cartridges. Chlorine will destroy the Reverse
Osmosis membrane cartridge.
1. Follow steps 1 through 4 under Prefilter, Postfilter and
Reverse Osmosis Membrane Cartridge Replacement
Procedure.
2. Fill the empty canister labeled “Sanitization Canister”
with water to within 1 inch of the upper opening. Add
1 oz. (2 Tbsp.) ordinary unscented household bleach.
Install canister into the prefilter canister position by
turning to the right about 1/3 turn until the alignment
marks line up and the canister stops.
3. Install the two additional “sanitiziation canisters” into
the membrane canister and postfilter openings in the
manifold by turning to the right about 1/3 turn until the
alignment marks line up and the canister stops.
4. Turn ON water supply. Turn ON faucet until water
begins to flow from the faucet, then turn faucet OFF.
Allow system to fill for 10 minutes.
5. Turn faucet ON and allow water to flow for 20
minutes, or until bleach odor is gone. Turn OFF water
supply again. Turn ON faucet to drain the system.
