Instrucciones de cambio del filtro higienizador

1

Corte el agua de alimentación del sistema y cierre la alimentación del fabricador de hielo y la válvula de suministro de agua (si procede).

Feed water supply

Ice maker supply

2

Abra el grifo para aliviar la presión del sistema y asegúrese de que el agua ha dejado de salir por el grifo.

3

Remove the lower vertical sump filters and Post Carbon filter

4

Remove the old filters and discard

5

The Red cap fiber-type filter is installed in the first (sediment) filter sump. This is the sump on the right

Lubricate the O-rings on the filter.

Push the filter into the top portion of the housing

Lubricate the O-ring at the top of the sump with a small amount of the silicone included

Tighten the filter sump hand tight, then using the wrench, turn an additional ¼ turn, but do not over tighten

6

The carbon block filter with the white cap is installed into the center sump.

Lubricate the O-rings on the filter cap

Push the carbon block filter in the top portion of the housing

Lubricate the O-ring at the top of the sump with a small amount of the silicone included

Tighten the filter sump hand tight, then using the wrench, turn an additional ¼ turn, but do not over tighten

7

The chloramine filter with the green cap is installed into the left sump.

Lubricate the O-rings on the chloramine filter cap.

Push the chloramine filter in the top portion of the housing.

Lubricate the O-ring at the top of the sump with a small amount of the silicone included.

Tighten the filter sump hand tight, then using the wrench, turn an additional ¼ turn, but do not over tighten.

8

The inline filter is installed on the top of the membrane. The fittings in each end of the old post filter must be removed

Once removed, clean the old Teflon tape off of threads on each fitting

9

Wrap each fitting with Teflon tape. When looking at the threaded side of the fitting, always wrap the Teflon tape in a clockwise manner. The stem (straight) fitting will screw into the inlet side of the new filter and the elbow fitting is installed in the outlet side.

BE SURE not to overtight these fittings or they may break. BE SURE no to put too much Teflon tape on the fittings. This can result in a crack in the post filter. The fittings should tighten before they bottom out in the post filter.

Stem

Elbow

Wrap with Teflon tape

10

Connect the blue tubing to the outlet elbow fitting of the new post filter

Now push the tee from the tank on the inlet stem fitting of the new post carbon filter.

For Livation systems, install the new Livation filter and plug the inlet tubing in the inlet side of the Livation filter. Remove the outlet tubing from the old Livation filter and install it in the outlet of the new Livation filter. Connect the other end of the outlet tube to the post filter/tank tee fitting.

11

Turn on feed water valve and check for leaks

Turn off and correct leaks if leaks occur

12

Close the storage tank valve and turn on the faucet

Close the valve on storage tank

Open the RO faucet until water drips from it

Water will be flowing to the drain as well

13

Once there is water coming from the faucet close the faucet and wait five minutes to see if any leaks result on the entire system

The system will fill the sumps and the membrane with water and will ultimately shut off. This happens fairly quickly without the tank on (usually 3-5 mins). Once the water stops and the system shuts down. Check for leaks again.

If the system uses a permeate pump, the water going in the drain and the water coming the RO faucet may be intermittent or pulsate. This is normal.

14

Turn on the tank valve and open the faucet

The initial water from the system may be discolored. This is normal.

NOTE: BE PATIENT! It is very important that there is a steady drip or stream of water coming from the faucet before it is closed. If not, there could be air trapped in the system and it will not fill the tank properly. This can waste a lot of water.

15

Close the faucet and allow the system to fill

Most systems will be full within 2 hours. The system is full when the water to the drain stops. Check for leaks with the system full and repair them accordingly.

NOTE: When the system is first turned on, water may intermittently “spurt” from the air gap opening on the side of air gap faucets. This is common and should correct itself after the air is purged from the system.

16

Flush the system and check operation

To make sure RO system is operating correctly, follow these simple procedures:

  1. Open RO faucet handle and allow tank to completely drain

  2. Close faucet and re-fill the system.

  3. Allow system to process water for approximately 2-3 hours, at which point tank will be practically full.

  4. Open faucet again and allow tank to empty for a second time. Do not use this water.

  5. Wait another 2-3 hours to allow tank to re-fill.

NOTE: If no objectionable tastes are noticed after second tank draining, RO processed water is ready for use. Otherwise, drain tank and re-fill for a third time.

17

Air purging

If the tank doesn’t 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.

18

Relieve pressure from the system

Close the tank valve

Turn off feed water valve

Open the faucet

19

Remove tubing from storage tank

Remove the tank tubing from the tank valve

Hold the tubing above the system with the open end facing up

20

Open the feed water valve and the faucet

Open the feed water valve

Open the faucet

21

Allow the system to run until there is a stream of water coming from the tank tubing

22

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.

23

Allow the system to continue to operate until there is a steady stream coming from the faucet

24

Once there is a steady stream coming from the faucet, close the faucet and open the tank valve

Close faucet

Open tank valve

25

Flush the system and check operation

To make sure RO system is operating correctly, follow these simple procedures:

  1. Open RO faucet handle and allow tank to completely drain

  2. Close faucet and re-fill the system.

  3. Allow system to process water for approximately 2-3 hours, at which point tank will be practically full.

  4. Open faucet again and allow tank to empty for a second time. Do not use this water.

  5. Wait another 2-3 hours to allow tank to re-fill.

NOTE: If no objectionable tastes are noticed after second tank draining, RO processed water is ready for use. Otherwise, drain tank and re-fill for a third time.

26

At this point, the supply line to the ice maker connection may be opened (if applicable)
