Hey there! You should purge your system during the installation process, and each time you exchange the middle membrane cartridge. This is important because it rinses the new cartridge which aids in getting rid of the discoloration that happens with a new cartridge. Let's get started!
1. First, you'll want to confirm your water supply is turned ON to the system.
2. Now you can can open the reverse osmosis faucet at your sink and let water flow through the system for 24 hours. The water flow during this will be a slow trickle.
NOTE: Do not consume water from the system until the purging process is complete.
3. Once that 24 hours is up, you can go ahead and close the reverse osmosis faucet. You'll need to let the storage tank fill and then empty, twice:
- Allow the unit 2-3 hours to fill the storage tank. Once it's full, you'll empty the tank.
- Let it fill again (2-3 hours). Once full, you'll empty it again.
4. After it fills for the 3rd time, your system is ready to use!
