After your water purification unit has been installed, we recommend that you allow 3-4 hours for the storage tank to fill the first time. Then, open the spigot and drain all of the water out. This procedure will flushes the system and removes any trapped air.

After emptying the tank the first time, allow the tank to refill and you are ready to enjoy your purified water.

Your water purifier will refill the storage tank at the rate of approximately 1 quart per hour under normal conditions. This will provide you with 5 to 7 gallons of purified water each day. If you are in an area with low water pressure (40 to 50 psi) it will take longer to produce a full tank.

DRAIN MACHINE COMPLETELY AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH. Use your RO system as much as you can to keep water in the tank from becoming stale. Use the water for cooking, making tea and coffee, in your steam iron, watering plants and pets, and always keep several gallons on hand in your refrigerator.

Be careful not to bend or kink the RO system tubing when placing items under the sink.

Your sink-mounted spigot has two operating positions. Push the handle down for intermittent flow, or push up for continuous flow.

Do not attempt to remove or reinstall the Shayna RO system yourself, or remove any system component. If you believe the unit needs servicing, call your Shayna Water service technician for help. It's free and it will be done right.

Do not install the Shayna Water purification system on non-potable water supplies or on a supply with over 1,500 ppm dissolved solids.

Do not use the Shayna Water purification system with water supplies with pressure less than 40 psi or greater than 90 psi. If you believe your water supply pressure is too low or too high, consult Shayna Water customer service.

Finally, DO NOT INSTALL RO EQUIPMENT ON HOT WATER LINES.
