Low Product Water Quality (increase of salt content in the product water)
Mismatching of system components can cause lower-than-normal operating pressure resulting in
low-quality product water.
A worn or broken product water O-ring at the end plug inside the high-pressure vessel will allow feed
water to bypass into the product water. The resulting mixture of product water and feed water will be
of low quality, or high in salinity. This will also show up as lower-than-normal operating pressure at
the Operating Pressure Gauge.
A crack in the end plug between the feed water port and product water port or a rough surface at the
product water O-ring will also allow feed water to bypass into the product water. The resulting mixture
of product water and feed water will be of low quality, or high in salinity. This will also show up as
lower-than-normal operating pressure at the Operating Pressure Gauge.
Higher-than-normal feed water temperature causes the RO membrane to require less operating
pressure in order to maintain the normal product water production. The Seafari Escape System
self-adjusts by decreasing the operating pressure to compensate for higher-than-normal feed water
temperature. Product water quality will decrease, or increase in salinity, as the operating pressure is
decreased to compensate for the higher-than-normal feed water temperature.
A fouled RO Membrane Element will produce poor-quality product water since the RO Membrane
Element allows a constant passage of dissolved solids, salt and other minerals. The water molecules
passing through the RO Membrane Element dilute the constant amount of dissolved solids. Therefore,
the greater the amount of water passage, the lower the concentration, or lower percentage, of dissolved
solids. As the RO Membrane Element becomes fouled, less water passes through it to dilute the
constant dissolved solids’ passage. This results in poor-quality product water. The Seafari Escape
System self-adjusts the operating pressure to overcome the fouling. Eventually the High-Pressure
Switch will signal the system to shut off due to excessive operating pressure above 190 PSI.
