1. First, the incoming feed water (1/4” Black line) is passed through a 0.5
micron Micro-Tec sediment pre-filter. This filter is required to remove excess
turbidity (particulate matter) that may cause the carbon block filter to plug.
2. The second stage of filtration is a 0.5 micron carbon block pre-filter. This filter
removes organics and chlorine from the feed water that can damage the
membrane.
3. The third filtration stage of the system is a high rejection thin film composite
(TFC) reverse osmosis membrane. It removes over 98% of most inorganic
salts, all micro-organisms and organics above 100 diatoms molecular
weight.
(90 gpd Systems have 1 membrane, 180 Systems have 2
membranes.)
4. The fourth and fifth stage filter is our
M
AX
C
AP
DI ™ cartridge followed by
SpectraPure’s SilicaBuster ™ cartridge.
The
M
AX
C
AP
DI ™ system comes equipped with two Dual Inline TDS monitors.
The first monitor shows TDS levels of pre-and post- RO membrane water. The
second monitor helps detect the exhaustion points of the DI stages.
The
MaxCap DI™ is used as a “roughing” cartridge followed by our original
SilicaBuster™ . For example, if the RO water has 25 ppm TDS (Total Dissolved
Solids) entering a SilicaBuster™ cartridge alone, it may only process about 200
gallons of pure DI water. By placing a
MaxCap DI ™ cartridge in front of the
SilicaBuster™ cartridge,
600 gallons
of water will pass through both cartridges
before the Max Cap DI ™ is exhausted. The SilicaBuster™ DI cartridge will be only
one-third exhausted. A second Max Cap DI ™ will process another
600 gallons
and the SilicaBuster™ cartridge will now be two-thirds exhausted. Only after a
third Max Cap DI ™ cartridge processes another
600 gallons
will the
SilicaBuster™ cartridge finally become fully exhausted.
This example illustrates that
three Max Cap DI ™ cartridges plus the original
mixed-bed cartridge
will process 1800 gallons of pure DI water. It would have
taken
nine
original mixed-bed cartridges to produce the same amount of pure DI
water.
IMPORTANT NOTE
:
If you are starting up this system for the first
time, or replacing either the membrane or DI cartridge(s), it is very
important that you follow the directions on page 5,
“System Initialization”.
