This is rite from the Aqua-safe info book:

1.1 It is a good idea to flush the pre-filters prior to hooking them up to the IN side of the membrane. Just hook up the yellow discharge line to the third filter (“out”), and let the water run for 10 minutes or so. When it’s done, reconnect the yellow discharge to the flow restrictor and also hook up the line to the auto shut-off valve.

If you PM me your e-mail I'll send you the hole word doc.

When producing water the black valve should be perpendicular (90 degree angle to the body of the valve). When flushing the membrane you should have it horizontal with the valve. In both ways there will be water flowing down the drain, just when flushing its full force.
