Flushing System

If you are commissioning the system for the first time or have just replaced the filter cartridges, please follow the below steps for 3-5 TIMES to ensure that the system gets adequately flushed before using.
Step 01
Always start the system flushing with a new tank of the potable (tap) water. Carefully fit the feed water tank back into the tank base and close the cover.

Step 02
Place a large container on the drip tray and have another container ready to alternate.

Step 03
Plug it in, the system will automatically flush the membrane for 30 seconds, then the "filtering" indicator light will be on.
(Membrane flushing is the internal flushing. The flushed water will be returned to the feed water tank with no water out of the water spout.)

Step 04
Filtering - the system will automatically start to filter and transfer the pure water to the internal pure water reservoir. Waiting until the filtering indicator light turns off (about 10 mins), which means that the internal pure water reservoir is full.

Step 05
Empty the internal pure water reservoir to flush — Push the "Flushing" button: the pure water will start to flow from the outlet until the internal reservoir is empty.

Step 06
The system will continue to filter when the internal pure water reservoir is empty. Waiting until the "filtering" indicator light turns off again and pushing the "Flushing" button again to empty the internal pure water reservoir.

Step 07
Continue repeating the steps 4-6 until the "Change Water" indicator light starts flashing, empting the remaining water in the Feed Water Tank.

Step 08
The above steps 1-7 are the one round of system flushing process. Please repeat these steps for 3-5 TIMES to complete the system flushing.
Note:

1. Every water supply is different. Depending on your feed water sourceand quality, you can adjust the flushing frequency.
2. New system may have air bubbles, particulates or slightly poor taste, this is normal, please follow these flush instructions to remedy the situation.

Dispensing Purified Water

Step 01
Place a glass or cup on the drip tray of the System under the dispense nozzle.

Step 02
Select your preferred water dispense volume; you will hear I-beep; the selected volume indicator light will light. The System will dispense the corresponding amount (6 fl oz. (180ml), 12 fl oz. (350ml), or 15 fl oz. (450ml)) of purified water and then stop automatically% indicated by I-beep and the indicator light turns off.

Dispense more water at once: Push the 'Flushing" button; purified water will start to flow from the outlet until the 0.45-gallons internal internal pure water reservoir empties. To manually stop dispensing water, push any other button.

   4. After cleaning with a small brush, install it back to the specified position of the feed water tand;
      

How To Descale Your Water Purifier

Limescale can clog up the machine and disrupt water flow. If you start experiencing slow water flow or all the indicator lights flashing, it is time to maintain it.

1. Purpose:
   To clean the scale in the RO machine system (such as pipes, valves, pumps, RO membranes, etc.)
2. Maintenance Frequency:
   Good tap water quality(TDS<150ppm): every 6 months;
   Fair tap water quality(150<TDS<250ppm): every 2 months;
   Poor tap water quality(250<TDS<450ppm): every month;
   Bad tap water quality(TDS>450ppm): every 2 weeks.
3. Maintenance Steps
   Step1:
   Make one of the following DIY solutions or use a commercial descaling solution.
   1. Citric acid solution: Add 5 liters of tap water to the feed water tank, then add 100 grams (about 10 tablespoons) of citric acid powder and stir well.
      
   2. White vinegar solution: Add 2.5 liters of tap water to the feed water tank, then add 2.5 liters of white vinegar, and stir well.
      

Step2:
Put the feed water tank with the prepared solution back on the machine and plug it in.
Step3:
Push and hold the Flushing button for 5s, you will hear 1-beep, the Flushing button will be on, and the System will flush the membrane for 60 seconds and stop. Repeat this flushing step five times.
Step4: Unplug the power and let it stand for 2 hours.
Step5: Remove the feed water tank, empty these solutions, and clean the feed water tank with tap water.
Step6: Fill the feed water tank with tap water and put it back in the correct place, then plug in the power supply for waiting until the "filtering" indicator go off; press the "Flushing" button to dispense water to flushing the system, which removes the odor or taste of the descaling solution. If the sour taste remains, please repeat for a few more rounds until the water tastes good.
Note: If the scale is very serious or the problem is still not solved after maintenance, please repeat steps 1-6 one more time.
