Tips for Long Membrane Life
1. Replacement of 1 micron sediment filter once every 6 months.This will pre
vent mem brane fouling due to silt or sediment depositing on the membrane.
2. Replacement of 10 micron carbon block filter at least once every 6 months
or when chlorine breakthrough occurs . This will ensure good membrane life
and protect the membrane from chlorine damage.
3. Membrane should not be operated at lower than the recommended concen
trate to purified water ratios, as described on page 6.
4. Operating reverse osmosis systems on softened feed water greatly reduces
the chances of membrane fouling.
5. Use the optional flush kit valve after each use of the system to extend
membrane life up to 6 months.
Storage
1. It is recommended that you store your Eliminator RO System in a cool
place when not being used.
2. Your Eliminator RO System must be protected from freezing or temperatures
above 100° F (38°C).
Choosing a Mounting Location
When considering a location for the installation of the System, consider the
following factors:
Light
Sources
1. Most of the components of this system are plastic and are subject to
damage by ultra- violet light from the sun and other sources such as metal
halide lighting.
2. Algae is more likely to thrive inside the clear filter housings when exposed to
bright
light.
3. Avoid installing this unit in bright light or direct sunlight.
Temperature
Extremes
1. The unit must be kept out of areas that are subject to freezing temperatures.
2. High temperatures greater than 100° F (38° C) must be avoided. If the unit is
used outside, avoid putting the system in direct sunlight or connecting it to a
garden hose that may be exposed to sunlight.
