OPERATION
13
VMT- v. JUNE 2008
RO pressure production should NEVER EXCEED 950 psi, doing so risks damage to RO unit
VOIDING factory warranty and may also risk personal injury.
NOTE: At initial start-up of RO unit, keep the product water diverted out of the water storage tank. If the
unit is filled with preservative storage solution, production must be diverted AT LEAST 10
MINUTES to clear preservative solution from system.
Step 10:
Check the RO unit for water leakage periodically at the initial start-up. Observe Product Flow meter.
Record operation parameters after 3 and 24 hours of operation (use the sample log sheet provided in
Figure 5.2 and the start-up sheet on page vii.)
4.1b TO SHUT DOWN THE UNIT
Step 1:
As the RO unit is running, turn the High Pressure Bypass Valve (Black Valve) to CLEANING
POSITION . This will release the high pressure and air trapped within the RO system.
Step 2:
Turn off the pumps. On DC powered units, use the power switch on the instrument panel. On AC
powered machines, always turn off the HP pump first, then the booster pump at the control box.
The RO unit may be left in this “stand by” condition with the seawater for one day. If the RO unit will be
out of service for extended time periods, please refer to the Maintenance section of this manual for
flushing instructions.
