Filling the PURO PRO with Water and Start-Up:
1. Once all hydraulic and electrical connections are completed
and the power box is plugged into a 120V power source, close
a feed water inlet valve, and crack it open about ¼.
2. Switch the power box switch to ON, and water will enter the
PURO PRO. Let the water continue to fill all of the housings at
this reduced flow rate until water flows freely out the drain.
3. Open the feed water inlet valve until the feed water pressure
gauge is about ½ open.
4. The membranes are packaged in preservative material. This
fluid should be flushed to drain for at least one hour before
connection to the storage tank.
5. Once this is completed, the system should be connected to the
storage tank for pure water production.
6. Observe the operation of the float switch to ensure that the
water level is as required. Adjust the float rotation point as
necessary.
PURO PRO Operation and Maintenance:
1. To ensure proper maintenance it is recommended that a
production data sheet be established for each system. A
Baseline Performance should be established at the initial
installation. This Baseline is then compared to subsequent
production performance at each six-month interval thereafter.
Significant variances are cause for maintenance activity.
2. See page 15 for a recommended production data sheet. If
production specifications change more than 20 percent, then
some action is normally suggested.
3. Normal maintenance activities include replacing the
membranes.
4. The membranes (6) may require replacement every two years.
This frequency may vary based upon feed water quality and
upon changes to the production rate of treated water.
5. Each time a membrane module is removed, the housing should
be rinsed with a dilute bleach solution and then fresh water
before being replaced.
