TABLE A – qUALIFIED SySTEM PERFORMANCE

Industry standards measure R.O. Membranes performance with no backpressure on the product water, at 65 psig (448kPa) and 77°F
(25°C). Further conditions on the above are 250 ppm TDS. Production rate and TDS reduction figures are for a new Membrane that
has been rinsed for 24 hours. The production rate of a new Membrane can decrease by 10% per year or more, depending upon the
scaling and fouling tendencies of the Feed Water.

Measured at 50 psig, 77°±2° F, 750±40 mg/l TDS per section 6 of NSF/ANSI Standard 58.
Recovery rating means the percentage
of the influent water to the membrane portion of the system that is available to the user as reverse osmosis treated water when
the system is operated without a storage tank or when the storage tank is bypassed. Efficiency rating means the percentage
of the influent water to the system that is available to the user as reverse osmosis treated water under operating conditions that
approximate typical daily usage. This reverse osmosis system contains a replaceable component critical to the efficiency of
the system. Replacement of the reverse osmosis component should be with one of identical specifications, as defined by the
manufacturer, to assure the same efficiency and contaminant reduction performance.

Water Pressure
40–100 psig (280–690 kPa)
TDS
2000 ppm (also mg/l) max.
Temperature
40–100°F (4–38°C)
pH
4–11 (optimum rejection at pH 7.0 - 7.5)
Hardness
Less than 10 gpg (170 mg/l) or soften
Iron
Less than 0.1 ppm (also mg/l)
Manganese
Less than 0.05 ppm (also mg/l)
Hydrogen Sulfide
None
Chlorine
See note
Bacteria
Must be potable**
NOTE: Chlorine will damage a T.F.C. Membrane. The Activated Carbon Prefilter has been designed to reduce chlorine from the
incoming water. Change filter every 6 to 12 months, more often if the water contains more than 1 ppm chlorine.
**DO NOT USE WITH WATER THAT IS MICROBIOLOGICALLY UNSAFE OR OF UNKNOWN QUALITY, WITHOUT ADEQUATE
DISINFECTION BEFORE OR AFTER THE SYSTEM.
