10. Stop pumping with priming pump handle when water begins flowing steadily out of the priming pump outlet.
11. Ensure raw water pump has begun drawing the source water to a strong and steady flow.
NOTE
If there are any kinks in the hoses, the backpressure will make it difficult to switch the hoses.
12. Quickly disconnect priming pump from raw water pump and connect the fabric hose (green) from the inlet
spool piece of the settling tank to discharge port on raw water pump. See Figure 10.
13. Observe flow indicator for source water flow into settling tank.
14. Begin filling the settling tank. The tank has a capacity of 1000 gallons (3800 liters).
15. While the settling tank is being filled, make sure the foam collar rises with the raw water. See Figure 7.
16. Turn off the water flow when the settling tank is full by placing the RAW WATER PUMP switch in the OFF
position on the control module and close the inlet valve of the settling tank. See Figure 13.

18. If the LWP unit is being operated for the first time, ensure that the RO simulators are removed and the RO
elements are loaded into the vessels before moving on to the rest of the operations. For instructions see WP
WARNING
All the hoses and cables should be placed in an orderly manner to minimize tripping hazards. Store any
