cartridge type filter element. These are specified to trap particulate
matter of 5 microns or larger at a specified flow rate. There is a
pre-filter and a post-filter gauge to measure pressure drop that
indicates filter clogging. The filter housing is threaded for easy
cleaning and filter element exchanges.

Check pre and post-filter pres
sure, and ΔP (
pressure drop
)
across it while the RO is running.
MAINTENANCE:
-
Replace filters every 30 days or as required if there is a ΔP (
pressure
drop
) across the filter of greater than 15 psi while the RO is running;
whichever comes first.
-
When changing the filter, the inside of the filter housing should be
wiped down with a clean cloth using either water or a mild (
1%
