DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE; REMOVE ANY CAUTION, WARNING,
OR OTHER DESCRIPTIVE LABELS FROM THE SYSTEM.
FEED WATER & OPERATION SPECIFICATIONS
Nothing has a greater effect on a reverse osmosis system than the feed water quality.
NOTE: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO MEET THE MINIMUM FEED WATER
REQUIREMENTS. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL CAUSE THE MEMBRANES TO FOUL
AND VOID THE MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY.
OPERATING LIMITS
NOTE: HIGHER TDS AND/OR LOWER TEMPERATURES WILL REDUCE THE
SYSTEM’S PRODUCTION.
REJECTION, RECOVERY, & FLOW RATES
CT-Series reverse osmosis systems are designed to produce permeate water at the
capacities indicated by the suffix in the system’s name under the conditions listed
above. For example, the CT-4000 produces 4000 gallons per day of permeate water at
the listed operating test conditions.
The amount of total dissolved solids (TDS) rejected by the membrane is expressed as a
percentage. For example, a 98.5% rejection rate means that 98.5% of total dissolved
solids do not pass through the membrane. To calculate the % rejection, use the
following formula:
