Initial Performance Verification

After initial flush, a TDS (Total Dissolved 

Solids) measurement should be taken 

and recorded. This data can be used to 

compare to factory test data and future 

system data. Some deviations may occur 

due to differences in feed water TDS and 

temperature
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Rejection 

Test
Use the TDS meter to measure the TDS 

in both the feed water and product water. 

Calculate the percent rejection using the 

formula below. Rejection should be 85% or 

better:

100 x (Feed TDS - Product TDS) / 

 

(Feed TDS) = % Rejection

Example:
Feed TDS = 500 ppm

 

Product TDS = 25 ppm

 

100 x (500 - 25) / (500) = 95% Rejection

RO Recovery Calculation

Using a stop watch and graduated cylinder 

(or other calibrated volume), measure the 

product water flow rate and the drain flow 

rate. The product water flow rate should 

be the flow coming directly from the RO 

System, not from the tank. Close the TDS 

blending valve and the tank valve to make 

this measurement. Calculate the percent 

recovery using the formula below:

100 x (Product Flow Rate) / (P 

Drain) = % Recovery

Example:
Product Flow Rate = 25 ml/min

 

Drain Flow Rate = 200 ml/min

 

100 x (25) / (25 + 200 ) = 11.1% Recovery

Recovery is dependent on feed water 

temperature and pressure. Measure and 

record the feed water temperature and 

pressure whenever measuring the percent 

recovery.

Semi-Annual Tasks

Check Tank Air Pre-Charge

The tank air charge should be checked 

every six months:
Tools and supplies required:
Air Pressure Gauge, 5-40 psi range (0.3 

- 2.7 bar) with tire valve (Schrader Valve) 

connection.
Source of compressed air (manual bicycle 

tire pump or air compressor).

CAUTION

Air pre-charge should be checked and 

adjusted under zero system pressure. 

The system must be depressurized 

before checking the tank pre-Charge. 

Do NOT adjust the tank air pre-charge 

with the system under pressure.

CAUTION

Be careful when adding air to the tank. Do 

NOT add too much air pressure to the tank.

1. 

Depressurize the system by closing 

the Inlet Valve and opening the tank 

valve. Make sure the tank is fully 

drained.

2. 

Unscrew the protective cap from the 

air valve on the tank.

3. 

Use the pressure gauge to check 

the tank pre-charge for pressure.

NOTE:

 If any water comes out of the 

air valve, the tank bladder has 

ruptured and the tank needs to 

be replaced.

4. 

Check the tank manufacturer for the 

recommended air pressure charge. 

If there is no recommendation, 

most RO system tanks have an air 

pressure charge of 5-8 psi. 

 

y

To add pressure to the tank, use 

a manual bicycle tire pump or 

other source of compressed air.

 

y

To release pressure from 

the tank, press the center 

pin on the air inlet valve.

5. 

Once the tank air charge is set, 

replace the protective cap on the air 

valve. 

6. 

Pressurize the system by opening 

the Inlet and Tank valves.

Annual Tasks

Change Sediment, Carbon, and 

RO Cartridges

The sediment and carbon cartridges should be 

changed as indicated on the controller.

Depending on performance changes, the RO 

cartridge may need to be changed as indicated 

on the controller.

Follow the change procedures for each as 

shown earlier in this Maintenance section.
