COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
The Merlin’s continuous high flow characteristics make it an economical
solution in many light commercial applications. We consider any
application with more than 20 gallons (7.57 liters) per day of permeate
water to be a commercial application.
Applications Restrictions
The Merlin system is designed for light-duty applications. We do not
recommend the Merlin for any severe-service or critical applications, such
as corrosive, high-temp environments, or for applications where peoples’
health/safety may be directly compromised; such as dialysis
pretreatment applications.
Pretreatment
The Merlin works best when the inlet water has been pretreated. The
membrane element and system life will be maximized when the inlet
water quality is maximized. An inlet water quality of:
0 grains hardness
0 ppm iron
0 ppm manganese
0 ppm chlorine
will result in a maximized membrane element and system life.
We recommend pretreating your water in one of the following methods:

NOTE:
Applications using more than 20 gpd (75 Lpd) of permeate
water should use additional pretreatment.
