If the tank does not fill, the tank tubing may have air in it. Typically the standard startup procedure will be sufficient but in some cases, due to the water temperature and pressure, additional air bleeding must be performed. The following procedure will help bleed air from the system.
Close the tank valve and the feed water valve and open the faucet to relieve the pressure on the system.
Remove the tank tubing from the tank valve and hold it over a bucket or pan.
Open the feed water valve and the faucet.
Allow the system to run until there is a stream of water coming from the tank tubing.
Once there is a steady stream coming from the tank tubing, push it back into the tank valve. Be sure to push it in the tank valve completely or a leak could occur.
Turn the tank valve on and allow water to run until there is a steady stream coming from the faucet. Then shut the faucet and allow the tank to fill.
NOTE: If no objectionable tastes are noticed after a second tank draining, RO processed water is ready for use. Otherwise, drain the tank and re-fill for a third time.
At this point, the supply line to an ice maker connection (optional) may be opened.
