Operational Parameters

Operating Temperatures:

Maximum 100°F (37.8°C)

Minimum 40°F (4.4°C)

Operating Pressure:

Maximum 85 psi (6.0 kg/cm

2

)

Minimum 40 psi (2.80 kg/cm

2

)

pH Parameters:

Maximum 11

Minimum 2

Iron:

Maximum 0.2 ppm

TDS (Total Dissolved Solids)

< 1800 ppm

Turbidity

< 5 NTU

Hardness: 

Recommended hardness not to exceed 10 grains per gallon, or 170ppm.  System will 

operate with hardness over 10 grains but the membrane life may be shortened. Addition of a water 

softener may lengthen the membrane life.

Copper Tubing: 

Reverse Osmosis water should not be run through copper tubing as  the purity of 

the water will leach copper causing an objectional taste in water and pin holes may form in the tubing.    

Be sure to follow any state or local regulations during installation.

Water Pressure: 

The operating water pressure in your home should be tested over a 24 hour 

period to attain the maximum pressure.  If the incoming water pressure is above 85 psi a pressure 

regulator is recommended and if  over 100 psi then a pressure regulator is required.
