To Care for the RO System
The components of the RO system are designed to function with minimal maintenance.
However, the membrane elements and filters will need to be replaced on a regular schedule.
For optimal performance the system should be flushed for 2 minutes after extended periods of
inactivity.
The Reverse Osmosis System has a monitoring device for TDS. To verify that the system is
performing satisfactorily turn on the TDS Meter by pressing the RED Power button on the top
left corner. Press on the OUT button to view the Outlet TDS level.
Replacement of Prefilter and Postfilter
The carbon/sediment prefilter reduces sediment and
certain chemicals, such as chlorine, from
the water. Depending on water use and the amount of impurities, this filter should be replaced
every six to twelve months for point-of-use applications.
Whenever the prefilter is replaced, the postfilter should also be replaced.
Installations using more than 1,000 litres of water per day should install external filters (not
supplied) to reduce, sediment, chlorine and sediment larger than 10 microns.
Replacement of RO Membrane Elements
The functional life of the RO membrane elements will vary based on feed water quality. Product
water should be tested periodically to verify the membrane elements are performing properly.
For most point-of-use applications, the RO membrane elements should be replaced every two
to four years.
Note
: Softened water is recommended for optimal system performance and RO membrane
element life.
Replacement of the Prefilter, Postfilter, and RO Membrane Elements
1.
Turn off the water supply to the RO System.
2. Reduce system water pressure by opening a tap down steam, or using the holding
tank connection.
Caution
: Even with the water supply turned off the membrane and prefilter sumps will
contain a considerable amount of water. By positioning the a tray or bucket under the
system, most of the water will be contained.
3.
Undo Membrane Housing Cap by hand, and remove used membrane (pliers may be
required) Open the seal/packaging on the new membrane, insert the double o-ring end
of the membrane first. Tighten the cap by hand only. Turn the water on and flush the
system for 3-5 minutes.
