Installation Requirements
Operating a system on water supplies outside
of the parameters listed below may lead to
premature membrane failure. This product
is for commercial use only and must be
installed and maintained in accordance with
manufacturer’s guidelines and local regulatory
plumbing codes.
Operating Parameters
Typical Membrane TDS Rejection: 97+%
Feed Temperature: 40˚ - 100˚F (4˚ - 38˚C)
Feed Pressure: 50 - 80 psi
(3.4 - 5.9 bar) at 1 gpm
Production (at 77˚F, 60 psi): 70 gals./day
(2.9 gals./hr.)
Recovery: Up to 33%
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The production rate is
strictly dependent on feed water temperature
and pressure.
For example: Operating pressure of 30
psi will reduce production by 50%, or
48˚F feedwater will reduce production by
50%.
Location
The system should be installed indoors,
within 25 feet of the equipment water is being
supplied to, and protected from the elements.
Do not let the processor or storage tank
freeze or be exposed to rain or direct sunlight.
Feed Water Connection
An adequate flow and pressure of water to
the unit is essential for successful operation.
Drain
A drain should be located within 10 feet of
the system. Drain must allow a minimum
flow of 2 gals/min. Compliance with most
local plumbing codes requires installation
of an approved air gap in the drain line. The
drain connection should be accessible for
system set-up and service.
Feed-Water Chemistry
Feed TDS: Up to 1200 ppm
Feed pH: 6 - 10
Hardness: 12 grains or less
Free Chlorine: <2 mg/L
Iron (Fe): 0.1 mg/L maximum
Turbidity: <0.05 NTU
Manganese: 0.05 mg/L maximum
Hydrogen Sulfide: 0.0 mg/L
Note:
The presence of silica or flocculants
such as alum or cationic polymers in the
feedwater may cause membrane fouling and
may require special pretreatment. Please
note that membrane failure due to fouling is
not covered by the warranty.
Storage Tank
The tank must be located within 10 feet of
the water processor. The floor beneath the
storage tank should be smooth, clean and
free of sharp objects that could puncture the
bottom of the tank.
Optimized Water Lines to Equipment
Tubing, piping and associated fittings used
to connect optimized water to equipment
should be food grade material with a minimum
pressure rating of 75 PSI. Non-metal, plastic
pipe or reinforced hose or tubing are
recommended. For distribution runs longer
then 15 feet use larger inside diameter tubing
or hose to minimize pressure drop.
