Maintenance and trouble-shooting procedures have been made easy
and effective with a built-in pressure gauge. The provided pressure
gauge is used to determine the tap water pressure and to evaluate the
condition of the sediment and carbon pre-filters.
USING THE PRESSURE GAUGE
The pressure gauge is used to monitor the condition of the Sediment and
Carbon Pre-Filters
(not the RO Membrane)
. When the filters are new,
the gauge will indicate the actual available water pressure. As the filters
collect particulates, the pressure will begin to drop. A 15-20% drop in
pressure would indicate that the pre-filters are in need of replacement.
(OPTIONAL) TDS METER FOR MEMBRANE & DI TESTING
You can purchase an optional Dual TDS Meter (MTR-TDS-DL1) to
determine when the Membrane & DI Cartridge needs to be replaced.
Or
you can follow 2 simple rules:
-
As the hardness of the water builds up on the membrane’s surface,
the production rate will decrease. If you are not producing any
water, the membrane is probably plugged.
-
If chlorine gets by an exhausted carbon filter and penetrates your
membrane, you will introduce tap water into your product water.
Test the brine water (yellow line) for chlorine using our chlorine
test kit.
- Change the DI Cartridge when 70% of the cartridge has changed in
color.
