Components 

(See Figure 1)

  A   On / Off Switch – Turns the unit on and off.
  B    Product Pressure Switch – Automatically turns 

the unit on and off based on the product water 

pressure.

  C   Reject Control Valve - Controls the amount of 

reject flow.

  D    Reject Recycle Control Valve – Controls the 

amount of recycle flow.

  E   Prefilter Pressure Gauges - Indicate the inlet and 

outlet pressures of the prefilter. The difference 

between these two gauges is the prefilter 

differential pressure.

  F    Pump Discharge Pressure Gauge - Indicates the 

membrane feed pressure.

  G    Reject Flow Meter - Indicates the reject flow rate 

in gallons per minute (gpm).

  H   Product Flow Meter - Indicates the product flow 

rate in gallons per minute (gpm).

  I    Prefilter Housing - Contains the RO prefilter.
  J    Automatic Inlet Valve - Opens when pump is on 

and closes when the pump is off.

  K    RO Feed Pump - Pressurizes the RO feed water.
  L    RO Membrane Vessel(s) - Contains the RO 

membrane(s).

  M   Low-pressure indicator.
