WATER QUALITY GUIDELINES
The quality of the water used for flushing and cleaning the membranes is of utmost importance,
as unclean water can cause deposits on the membranes. In most cases, municipal water
does not qualify as “clean water”. Chlorinated water must not be used to rinse or clean the
membranes.
Special attention should be paid to possible contaminants such as iron, manganese, and
silicates. Clean water must meet the following specifications at all times:
Important note:
When possible, RO permeate is always preferred for washing and rinsing
membranes.
