SYMPTOMS

PROBABLE CAUSE

REMEDY

•

Check brine discharge

•

Check static pressure
(pressure with system
running and pressure relief
valve open 1/2 turn)

*Nominal Static Pressure

on CT340 is 25

35psi

•

Route product vented to
atmosphere. Preferred
method is freefall into top of
tank.

•

Diagnose by routing product
water into bucket and run
system

•

Clean membrane

•

Replace vacuum switch

Fault Light Illuminated

High Pressure or Vacuum Switch

•

Blocked brine discharge

•

Restriction in Clark Pump/
Membrane

•

Product line not vented,
causing back pressure

•

Fouled membrane

•

Vacuum switch faulty

Boost Pressure Vacuum Switch

•

Prefilter/Sea Strainer clogged

•

Intake restriction

•

Boost Pump not receiving 24V,
or disconnected

•

Vacuum switch faulty

•

Install new prefilters

•

Clear strainer

•

Clear obstruction

*Check black 2

piece

hexagon check valve

attached to boost pump/

sea strainer module

•

Check voltage at boost pump,
check wiring.

•

Replace vacuum switch
