Changes in the tap water pH, TDS, temperature, or pressure, can also cause significant changes
in the overall performance of the RO.
OUTSOURCED WATER TESTING
A laboratory specified by the physician or Medical Director should perform chemical and
microbial analyses as outlined in the current AAMI/ISO Standards to determine the current
compatibility of the RO with the feed water and the suitability of the system for providing
product water meeting the AAMI requirements. This should be performed annually or more
often if needed but, is it is ultimately at the discretion of the physician or Medical Director
.
Water samples for this type of testing should always be taken from the final product
water.
