Using the Elix System
Elix® 20, 35, 70 and 100 31
3-5 W
HAT ARE THE DIFFERENT OPERATING MODES
?
STANDBY MODE
The Elix System is not producing water. STANDBY Mode is used to enter
other software modes such as MAINTENANCE, SETUP and PRODUCTION Mode.
PRODUCTION MODE
The Elix System is producing water. A storage reservoir is getting filled
with water from the Elix System. Pressing DATA in PRODUCTION Mode
allows various operating parameters to be seen.
RINSING
MODE
The Elix System is diverting the RO Permeate to drain instead of sending it to a
Storage Reservoir. RINSING Mode is used to insure that only high quality RO
Permeate is sent to the Storage Reservoir.
RINSING Mode occurs for a few different reasons.
One reason is that the Elix System is going into PRODUCTION Mode. RINSING
Mode will occur automatically for one minute or more whenever entering
PRODUCTION Mode.
The 2
nd reason for RINSING Mode is that the RO % Rejection is 1% lower than
the Memorised RO % Rejection Value. When 4 continuous minutes of
PRODUCTION Mode have occurred, the RO % Rejection is “memorised”.
RINSING Mode will continue until the RO % Rejection is within 0.5% of the
Memorised Value.
FLUSH MODE
FLUSH Mode occurs when the Inlet Solenoid Valve and the RO Reject Solenoid
Valve both are open. This allows Tap Water to enter and to sweep away any
accumulated impurities on the Feedwater surface of the RO Cartridge.
FLUSH Mode occurs automatically every 6 hours for 5 minutes in either
STANDBY Mode (1
st LCD screen shown on the left) or in TANK FULL
Mode (2
nd
LCD).
TANK
FULL MODE
TANK FULL Mode occurs when a Storage Reservoir is full. A Level Sensor in
the reservoir sends a signal to the Elix System indicating that it is full. The
Elix System will stay in TANK FULL Mode until water is withdrawn from the
reservoir (i.e. emptied about 20%). The Resistivity and TOC values measured
upon entering TANK FULL Mode are displayed during TANK FULL Mode.
