Monitoring your System Performance
Your system will be operating at its peak performance after about 24 hours of operation. You
should develop a daily (or other periodic) log to track line pressure, post filter pressure, feed water
TDS, permeate TDS, permeate flow rate and waste flow rate. This will allow you to see any
developing performance trends or alert you to system changes that will require you to intervene. It
will also be helpful for your dealer or Waterite technical personnel to have this information
available to help troubleshoot your system, should it become necessary.
Your Membrane Element
As your membrane begins to age, it will gradually lose some output performance. This is normal
and may result in an overall permeate flow loss of 5% after about 1 year. Your membrane(s) may
eventually begin to lose production due to fouling or scaling in its interior. Symptoms of this may
be continuously falling production rates or elevated TDS levels in the product water.

olids may be measured by toggling the TDS monitor (mounted on the front of the
system) and comparing the incoming (raw) water level with that of the permeate (product water). If
the overall rate of reduction falls below 95%, if may indicate a degrading membrane and you
should consult your dealer. A second sample may be tested with another TDS meter to verify the
initial reading.
The membrane element life will range from 1 to 5 years, depending on the quality of the raw water.
See S.3 (7)(2) for membrane removal and installation instructions.
If you suspect your membrane element requires replacement, contact Waterite or your dealer. Do
not attempt to clean the element yourself, as it requires specialized chemicals, procedures and
equipment.
