chlorine in household water range from 0.5 to 1.0 parts-
per-million (ppm).
Besides being toxic, chlorine and chloramines will
degrade the TFC Reverse Osmosis Membrane. Therefore,
it is essential to remove chlorine from your feed water
before it reaches the RO membrane. Your Aquathin RO/
DI system includes a pre-filter containing a special grade
of grade of Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) which will
very effectively remove chlorine and chloramines from
your tap water. It is important to replace the pre-filter
annually to insure no chlorine is reaching the membrane.
Sediment
In areas with very high sediment concentrations the
Aquathin pre-filter may clog prematurely. If the pre-filter
becomes clogged, you will likely notice a decrease in the
production rate from your system. In areas with very high
sediment concentrations, it may be necessary to replace
the pre-filter on a semi-annual basis.
Over the course of one year, the sediment filter will
typically become significantly discolored. This is not
cause for alarm. If you notice pressure at the gauge has
dropped significantly below your initial observations,
consider changing this filter to restore adequate pressure
and improve overall system performance.
Iron
Iron concentrations greater than 0.1 mg/l can degrade
overall system performance. If your water supply has iron
concentrations above 0.1 mg/l, pretreatment is
recommended for ordinary RO systems. Your patented
Aquathin process will tolerate up to 3 ppm iron.
