Turn off the air and remove the water from the collar. 

9.

 

Coat a suitably sized nylon wire with quick-curing glue and re-insert the wire into the leaked fibers 

10.

 

Wait for about 5 

 10 mins for the glue to dry before cutting off the protruding nylon wire. 

11.

 

Reassemble the module. 

 
 

4.8 Key Operating Parameters 

 
Some of the key operating parameters and their typical values are listed below for reference only. Ultimately, 
the parameters depend on various factors such as the feed water quality and onsite limitations and conditions. 
(Note: Please consult with EuroTec Technical Support for further information).
