pressures that a new system should develop when operating in typical sea water of 35,000 PPM
TDS at 77 F / 25 C. If any abnormality develops, stop the system and correct the problem.
17. Although the system is producing “product water,” the “product water” may not be “potable” for up
to 30 minutes. New RO Membrane Elements require operating time to flush storage chemical from
the product water channel. Daily operation requires operating time to flush dissolved solids from
the product water channel. The operating time required to flush the product water channel is normal
for reverse osmosis systems. The “Water Quality” Lamp illuminates “red” if the product water is
unpotable and “green” if the product water is potable.
The salinity of the product water diminishes gradually and is measured by the salinity probe. When
the salinity of the product water has diminished to the factory setting, the salinity controller will
energize the “green” Water Quality Lamp and the 3-Way Product Water Diversion Valve. At that
instant, product water will be routed to the charcoal filter, pH neutralizer and UV sterilizer onward
to the potable water storage tank.
18. Check for the following:
a) A constant feed water flow.
b) A consistent system pressure.
c) Leaks in the system.
d) Unusual noises or other occurrences.
19. Complete the “NEW SYSTEM INITIAL READINGS” form at the end of this chapter.
20. Prior to stopping the system, determine if the system will be stored for a period of time or if it will
be turned over to the owner and operated regularly. Failure to properly flush and/or store the system
will lead to premature fouling or drying out of the RO Membrane Element, which is not covered by
the Horizon Reverse Osmosis Warranty and is the liability of the person commissioning the system.
a) If the system will be operated within the next two weeks, no action is necessary. However, if
the system will be exposed to freezing temperatures, you must perform winterizing procedures.
Freezing temperatures will cause extensive damage if the system is not properly protected.
b) I f the system will not be operated within the next two weeks, perform a freshwater flush. If the
Horizon Reverse Osmosis Automatic Freshwater Flush is installed, ensure that the potable
water storage tank has potable water for the freshwater flush to utilize in rinsing the system. If
the system does not include an automatic freshwater flush, then perform a manual freshwater
flush.
c) If the system will not be operated within the next two months or longer, perform a long-term
storage operation.
21. Stop the system by pressing the “START/STOP” switch once. If the freshwater flush assembly is
installed, the freshwater flush lamp will illuminate, intermittently blinking for 90 minutes. This time
delay is to allow the ETD to dissipate its pressure. After the 90-minute wait period, the freshwater
flush automatic cycle will begin, as indicated by a steady, non-blinking illumination of the freshwater
flush lamp.
The freshwater flush pump is equipped with a pressure switch that will cycle the pump on and off.
If the pump’s outlet pressure is below 45 PSI, the pump will operate; when the pump’s outlet
pressure is above 45 PSI, the pump will stop. The freshwater flush pump will cycle on and off during
the freshwater flush cycle. This is normal and to be expected.
The freshwater flush cycle will last for approximately 10 minutes. The 10-minute cycle is adjustable
from 6 to 13 minutes. After the freshwater flush cycle is complete, the freshwater flush lamp will
illuminate and intermittently blink in the stand-by mode. Every 7 days, the freshwater flush rinse
cycle will repeat automatically.
If the “START/STOP” switch is pressed twice, the automatic freshwater flush cycle will be cancelled,
and the freshwater flush lamp will not be illuminated.
