1.0 USER INFORMATION

1.1 INTRODUCTION

This system is designed to pretreat and purify water for use in health care
applications. The system is shipped with required water treatment
components. If the system will be running without softened water, the PT401
Antiscalant system will need to be connected to the side of the RO. This
Operation Manual was written specifically for the RO3 model, storage tank
and DI polisher. Your system was thoroughly tested and in excellent
condition when it was shipped to you. However, because damage during
shipment is possible, please unpack and carefully inspect the system as soon
as you receive it. Please notify AmeriWater if any problems are encountered.

Please read the Operations Manual before using the system. Contact
AmeriWater Customer Service with any questions at 1-800-535-5585 Monday
through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. For after-hours
emergencies call 1-800-535-5585 and follow the instructions on the recorded
message. Our on-call technician will return your call as soon as possible.
This entire Operations Manual should be read before operating or servicing
the system. This Operations Manual should then be kept near the system
and used as a reference and troubleshooting guide.

2.0 SYSTEM INSTALLATION AND STARTUP

Figure 2.1

CAUTION: Local plumbing and electrical codes must be observed.

2.1 PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

1. Utility requirements;

a. Plumbing: ¾” ball valve with NPT threads and dynamic pressure of at least 20

PSI at 10 GPM.

b. Electrical: Two (2) 115 Volt, Dedicated 15 AMP, single phase, GFI service.

Two (2) 208 Volt, Dedicated 20 AMP, three phase, GFI service.

2. Hot and cold city/tap water supply line flushed and free of debris before
equipment installation.

3. Floor drain within 4 feet of the RO/DI system capable of handling up to 10 GPM
flow.

4. Supply piping to the washer/disinfector/sterilizer system(s) within 3 feet of the
RO/DI distribution pump with a shut off valve.

5. Access space of 1 foot on each side and behind the water treatment equipment
with a 3 foot aisle in front of the equipment or required to meet local codes.

2.2 RO

1. Locate RO first, then connect from the RO outlet to the Silex inlet.

2. Route the product water hose from the RO behind the RO to connect

to the Silex hose inlet.

3. Install carbon pre-filtration cartridges (2 ea.)

2.3 ANTI-SCALANT

1. Locate the Anti-Scalant to the left of the RO.

2. Connect Anti-Scalant pump outlet to the injection point post pre-filters,

but before the inlet to the RO (See illustration below)

PT401
INJECTION
POINT

3. Refer to manual 98-0092 for startup instructions.

2.4 SILEX

1. Locate the Silex to the right of the RO, just before the storage tank.

2. Refer to manual 98-0006 for Silex bag installation.

3. Connect from Silex outlet to inlet of storage tank.

2.5 STORAGE TANK

1. Locate the storage tank on a firm, level foundation. For seismic

requirements, drill (4) 5/8” diameter holes into the concrete through the
mounting holes in the storage tank feet a minimum of 4” deep. Install
(4) 5/8” diameter, HILTI KB-TZ Expansion anchors through the 4 holes
on the pads to anchor into the ground. A minimum of 4 threads for
each anchor must be below the concrete prior to application of 60 ft-lbs
of torque.

2. Connect the Silex outlet hose to the storage tank’s inlet.

5

3. Connect the discharge from the pump to the distribution piping.

4. Run the float – switch quick disconnect to the RO and lock in place.

2.6 STARTUP

1. If you purchased a blend valve (00HC-5001) as an option, install

according to instructions found in 098-0135. Ensure that the blend
valve is flushed thoroughly before continuing with subsequent steps.

2. Connect the blend valve (optional) to the RO3X. Install the RO3X, per

instructions found in 098-0002. Ensure that you run the RO to drain for
2 hrs. prior to use.

3. Set the stroke rate of the PT401 Antiscalant (“Chemical Injection

System – 0084-0006), per instructions found in 98-0002.

4. Connect the RO3X to the Silex (00HC-2003). Install the Silex, per

instructions found in 98-0006. Ensure that you run all product water to
drain until quality light turns green.

5. Connect Silex to Storage Tank (00HC-0097). Install the Storage Tank,

per instructions found in 098-0001.

5. Connect Storage Tank Pump to distribution piping. Direct end of

distribution piping to floor drain and turn on the pump to flush any
remaining debris from the distribution loop, itself. Warning: Do not
allow debris to enter the Storage Tank.

6. While flushing the loop, verify that the RO cycles on and off

automatically based on float position.

7. If the loop is dead-ended, verify that the pump is deactivated during

times of no water usage.

3.0 OPERATION AND MONITORING

3.1 OPERATION

Once the system has been started, the RO will continue to make water until
the high-level float switch is tripped on the storage tank. At this point, the RO
will be placed into standby (tank full) until the mid-level float switch is tripped.

Once the mid-level float is tripped, the RO will re-initialize and begin to
produce water again.

In the event that the conductivity is above the pre-determined set-point, an
alarm will sound.

The storage tank will still operate as normal.

3.2 BYPASS PROCEDURE

This system has a bypass option. The bypass can be used to repair or maintenance any
part of the system. Use the option of bypassing the system, when you have to remove or
maintenance any component of your system (RO, Silex or Storage Tank Distribution
Pump). By using the bypass, you can still receive city water to your process loop while
you repair or maintenance your system components.

Important note:

If you have a return flow line coming back to the storage tank, when using the bypass
the returning water from your process will overflow the tank as the distribution pump is
not removing any water from the tank.

1. Turn off the POWER to the RO

and Distribution Pump.

2. Shut off the water supply to the

system.

3. Remove the RO water inlet hose

from the source.

4. Retrieve the bypass hose and

install to the incoming water
supply.

5. Connect the CPC connector

into the fitting just after the pump
on the storage tank.

Figure 3.1

6. Turn on the water to begin bypass operation.

RO PERFORMANCE (DURING WATER FLOW)

DI

EXCHANGE

Fill out the monitoring log prior to each use. Having this information available
will help to quickly diagnose issues related to performance. Failure to carry
out the daily monitoring and maintenance at the indicated intervals will result
in reduced performance of the RO system and may void the warranty.

1) DATE

2) Temperature (41ºF – 90 ºF)

3) Product flow (3.00 – 5.50 GPM)

4) Pump PSI (150 - 275 PSI)

5) Filter Pressure Drop (<10 PSI)

6) Hour Meter Reading

7) Chlorine Test (maximum 0.1 PPM)

8) Product Water Quality Reading

(Factory set at <50 µS/cm)

9) Verify light on DI Polisher is Green

10) Verify that the distribution pump is not in alarm

11) Carbon Block Filter Cartridges

(Carbon break though or ∆ Pressure 10 PSI)

12) Clean or Replace the Membrane

(Based on >10% loss of product quality or

flow)

13) Add PT401 Antiscalant

(When container is half full)

14) DI Polisher Resin Change

(Based on quality indicator light turning red)
