Feed Water Requirements
1. Plumbing feedin g the element must be at least ¾” in diameter.
2. Filtered water must be used on the membrane . The element has a 5 micron filter to remove
particles to drastically extend the life of the membrane. Changing these filters every month is
recommended to extend the life of the membrane. Follow instructions on page 10 to change
filters.
30-0021-XX Replacement 5 Micron Filter
30-0122-XX Alternate Replacement 5 Micron Filter
3. Soft Water is recommended. Excessive water hardness or iron concentrations may form scale
over the membrane and cause clogging. This will drastically reduce the useful life of the
membrane. Installing a water softener before each system to reduce hardness and iron is
recommended.
4. Anti-Scalent recommended. Slightly soluble contaminants like calcium sulfate, silica, or colloidal
clay will cause clogging. A continuous injection of an anti-scalent should be used if these
contaminants are present.
