OPERATION
SYSTEM START UP
Start-up conditions.
• Water supply is connected to system inlet Tee
(inlet ball valve closed).
• Storage tank is connected to high pressure
switch.
• Outlet is connected to equipment (outlet shutoff
valve closed).
• Sampling line (shut-off valve closed).
• Transformer output connected to the high
pressure switch (transformer not connected to
power source).
• Equipment being fed is turned off during start
up.
• Internal inlet valve on equipment is closed.
• Ensure that the bypass valve is closed.
1. Open the RO filter system inlet and storage tank
ball valves.
2. Open the water supply main valve and allow
water to enter the system.
3. Check the three pre-filter assemblies and
related connections for leaks.
A. If a leak is detected, release water
pressure from the system before
attempting repairs to the leaking
connection. Refer to RELEASING WATER
PRESSURE as outlined under
MAINTENANCE.
WARNING: ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST
COMPLY WITH THE APPLICABLE PORTIONS OF
THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE AND/OR
OTHER LOCAL CODES.
4. Connect transformer to the power source. This
will open the electronic solenoid valve and start
the booster pump.
NOTE: Allow system to operate for a couple of
minutes allowing trapped air to be purged from the
system.
5. Check operation of the permeate pump. Once
air is purged from the system, water will pulse
out of the drain line for 2-3 seconds, then stop
for the same duration. During normal operation
water will pulse on and off continuously until
storage tank is filled.
6. Check high pressure switch and electronic
solenoid shut-off valve operation.
A. While the system is producing water, close
the outlet ball valve and the storage tank
ball valve.
B. Verify that the booster pump turns off
immediately and water stops flowing to the
drain.
NOTE: The system is now under full pressure.
7. Check all fittings for leaks.
NOTE: If a leak is detected, release water pressure
from the system before attempting repairs to the
leaking connection. Refer to RELEASING WATER
PRESSURE as outlined under MAINTENANCE.
8. After successful checks, open the storage tank
and outlet ball valves.
NOTE: The booster pump should switch back on and
the system should begin operating normally.
9. Allow system to run for approximately 15-20
minutes.
10. Open the outlet ball valve and sampling valve.
A. Collect approximately 1 gallon of water in a
container.
NOTE: This water will appear milky or cloudy as it
flushes out media fines from the post neutralizing
cartridge.
B. Close the sampling valve and discard
collected water.
NOTE: It will take approximately two hours for the
system to fill the storage tank with product water. If
water is needed for equipment operation prior to the
storage tank filling, close the outlet ball valve and
open the bypass ball valve. This will allow the flow of
untreated water to the equipment while the RO
system continues to fill the storage tank.
11. To use product water, ensure that the inlet,
outlet and storage tank ball valves are open and
the bypass and sampling valves are closed
before turning on the cooking equipment.
