The RO Pump consists of a Motor and a Pumphead. The RO Pump is used to increase the flow rate of water into the RO
Cartridge(s). The RO Pump in turn becomes a way of pressuring the Feedwater to the RO Cartridge(s).

Each RO Cartridge removes (rejects) a large percentage of ions from the tap water. In addition, each RO Cartridge removes a
large percentage of bacteria and organic material. The RO Cartridge(s) is connected so that there is a single waste stream (RO
Reject Stream) that is directed to a sink or a drain. The RO Reject Stream is a single piece of tubing exiting from one of the side
ports of the Elix System Cabinet. All ions, bacteria and organic material removed by the RO are directed to the RO Reject Stream.
An Elix 35 has 1 RO Cartridge. An Elix 70 has 2 RO Cartridges. An Elix 100 has 3 RO Cartridges.
An Elix 20 has 1 RO Cartridge. The Elix 20 RO Cartridge has a lower flow rate than the Elix 35 RO Cartridge.

The Flow Controller limits the RO Permeate flow rate to ~ 50 LPH. The exception to this is an Elix 20 RO Cartridge. Its Flow
Controller limits the RO Permeate flow rate to ~ 30 LPH.

The RO Permeate Divert Solenoid Valve is used to divert the RO Permeate Water to drain when the Elix System is in RINSING
Mode and during R.O. RINSE Mode.

The Back Pressure Regulator is used to adjust the RO Pump Pressure. It also adjusts the amount of water in the RO Reject Water
Stream being sent back to the RO Pump Inlet.

The RO Reject Control Device is used to control the RO Reject Water to the drain. As an example, suppose the RO Reject Water
to drain is 120 LPH with an Elix 50 System. Now suppose someone wants to lower the RO Reject Water to drain to 80 LPH. The
RO Reject Control Device can be adjusted until the RO Reject Flow water is 80 LPH.
The use of the RO Reject Control Device allows the Elix System Recovery to be adjusted.

The RO Reject Solenoid Valve is normally closed. For example, during PRODUCTION Mode (when the Elix System is filling a
Reservoir), the RO Reject Solenoid Valve is closed.
The RO Reject Solenoid Valve is opened during other software modes such as FLUSH Mode. When it is open, the feedwater side of
the RO Cartridge will get swept clean of accumulated impurities. When the RO Reject Solenoid Valve closes, the RO Reject Water
is sent through the RO Reject Control Device.

The Elix Module is a device that deionises the RO Permeate Water. It is an electrically operated deionisation device.
