Correct leaks if any are found.

PURGING INSTRUCTIONS:
The RO certddge contains a food grade preser-
vative that you should clean from it before using
the system. The preservative will give product water
an unpleasant taste and odor.
1. After the storage bladder has filled (takes about
4 hours), open the system faucet until the bladder
is empty.
2. Allow the bladder to fill again for about 4 hours,
then open the faucet and empty. After 4 purgings,
the system is ready to make product water for your
use.

directed through 1/4" tubing, to the electronic box.
Here, the total dissolved solids ('I'DS) content, of
the supply water, is measured. Water flow continues
to the RO prefiiter.

is open.
POSTFILTER
- After leaving the storage area, but
before going to the faucet, product water goes
through the postfilter. The postfilter is also a
sediment-carbon type filter. It removes any remain-
