RO system).

2Wash your hands with anti-bacterial soap.

3 Turn off water supply to RO system.

4Turn on RO faucet. Drain tank (may take several minutes). Turn off RO faucet.

CAUTION: Failure to close the water supply valve or tank shutoff valve will cause water to spray or run when sumps are removed.
