Watts Premier RO-PURE Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual - Start Up Instructions
Red Tube Connection (From FAUCET To The FLOW RESTRICTOR)
Step 27
Determine where the 1/4” red tubing from the faucet and
the open end of the flow restrictor (attached to the end of
the 1/4” black tubing from the RO Module) would join
together comfortably. Cut the tubes to length, making
sure the cut ends are straight. Unscrew the supplied
compression nut from the open end of the flow restrictor
and push the nut onto the end of the red tube. Insert the
red tube (with attached nut) into the open end of the flow
restrictor making sure the tube is pushed in all the way to
the tube stop. Once the red tube is fully inserted, securely
tighten the compression nut onto the flow restrictor.
Start up Instructions
Step 1
Turn on the incoming cold water. Open the Adapta-Valve installed earlier in this manual
(page
9). Check the system for leaks and tighten any fitting as necessary. (Check over the next
24 hours to ensure no leaks are present).
Step 2
Open the RO faucet and leave it open until water begins to trickle out. (it will come out
slowly
and may sputter at first. The water may look dark, which is carbon from the final
filter. This is normal and will go away). Once the water begins to trickle out, close the RO
faucet.
Step 3
The tank will take between 4 to 6 hours to
fill completely (depending on the size of the
membrane, local water temperature and pressure). After the tank has fi lled, open the RO
Faucet to flush the tank completely to remove carbon particles from fi nal filter. Repeat
this step two more times. The fourth tank can be used for drinking. Note: The fl ushing of
the tank 3 times is only necessary during initial installation. This should take about a day
to complete.
Step 4
An optional ice maker kit (not included) may be purchased from Watts Premier by calling
1-
800-752-5582 or buy on-line at www.wattspremier.com. If system is connected to an ice
maker, turn the ice maker off (or do not allow water to flow to the ice maker) until Step 3
flushing is complete and the tank has been allowed to completely fill. Connection from the
RO to the ice maker system should have an in-line valve installed before the ice maker 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 fi ll up in order for the ice maker system to
work properly. (If you are installing an ice maker kit from Watts, tee off after the final filter).
Step 5
Complete the warranty registration (page 3) and submit to Watts Premier. Premier uses
this information to provide the latest information about water quality concerns as well as
a free filter change reminder service. Inspect the reverse osmosis system periodically to
ensure the unit is functioning properly.
