PW50 Manual Page 20 - Revision: 8-17-2023
FILTER FLUSHING PROCEDURE
Before starting the installation, any filters being used to filter the source water for the unit
must be flushed. This is important to rinse any loose carbon or debris from the filters so that it
does not plug another filter or membrane or end up inside the unit. DO NOT install and setup
the unit before flushing the filters.
Whether the unit is paired with R (Reverse Osmosis) or M (Ultra filtration) filter configurations,
there is a basic idea that applies to both: the filters, especially the carbon filters, must be
flushed or “rinsed.” This section will cover how to do this process.
Regardless of the setup used, all sediment and carbon filters must have several gallons of water
flushed through them to properly rinse the filter. The filters should be flushed in the same
direction as flow.
1. To begin, you will need a ¼” LLDPE tube connecting the unit to a water supply,
connected at the “Water In” port on the back of the machine. Install a ¼-turn valve just
before the unit to easily turn the water on and off.
2. Have a bucket, pitcher, or sink ready to catch the flush water.
3. Remove the lower front panel of the unit. Two screws down at the bottom of the panel
must be removed. Then, grip the bottom lip of the panel and pull outward. The panel
should hinge outward, and then come away from the unit completely. Set this panel
aside.
