Design Basis
• Systems rated at: 77°F (25°C) using 1000 PPM sodium chloride solution operating at 200 psi pressure.
• Minimum feed pressure to RO System: 40 PSI. System capacity changes significantly with water temperature. For
higher TDS a water analysis must be supplied and could result in modifications to the system.
• Chlorine must be removed if present in feed water prior to RO with a carbon filter or with chemical injection.
• Water must be pretreated with a softener or antiscalant injection to avoid scaling the membranes.
• Feed water turbidity: Less than 1 NTU; Feed water silt density index (SDI): 3 maximum. If exceeded, pretreatment with
media filter recommended. All pretreatment equipment and SDI test kits are available from Applied Membranes.
• Capacity Basis: 24 hrs/day
Design Notes
1. Pump flow/Feed flow: The pump has been designed to include recycle flow (if any) coming back to the pump inlet
from the concentrate stream based on desired recovery. The sum of permeate flow, concentrate flow and recycle flow
(if any) will equal the pump design flow.
2. Permeate flow: Indicates design flow rate from RO membranes as product wat er for use.
3. Concentrate flow: Water flowing to the drain. Concentrate flow is critical for proper system operation. For proper
concentrate flows, refer to the system design information on pages 3-4.
4. Recycle flow: Flow stream that returns from the concentrate line back to the pump intake, rather than to the drain.
Note: Permeate flow should not exceed recommended flow.
Note: System pressure is a variable. It is important to adjust the pressure to get the correct permeate
and concentrate flows. The exact value of the pressure is not important.
Note: Permeate flow will increase at higher temperature.

editorial omissions made herein; nor for incidental or
consequential damages resulting from the furnishing,
performance, or use of this material.
READ THIS MANUAL:
Prior to operating or servicing this unit, this manual must be
read and understood. If anything is not clear, call for
assistance before proceeding. Keep this and other
associated manuals for future reference and for new
operators or qualified service personnel.
USE PROPER POWER CONNECTIONS:
Use proper wiring and connection methods to satisfy local
electrical codes. SHOCK HAZARD: Connect this unit to a
properly grounded connection in accordance with the
National Electrical Code. DO NOT, under any
circumstances, remove the ground wire or ground prong
from any power plug. Do not use extension cords or an
adapter without proper consideration.
SERVICE WARNING:
To prevent electrical shock, disconnect power to the system
prior to servicing.
WARNING:
Do not make any alteration or modification in the wiring or
plumbing of the system. This can result in damage to the
system and cause injury to operators or users.
WARNING:
Flush the system for at least 30 minutes before use to
remove all chemicals present.
CAUTION:
Chlorine will damage the membranes. Chlorine must be
removed from the feed stream before entering the system.
CAUTION:
Never let the system freeze. Freezing can damage the
membrane and plumbing.
System Installation
Location
Select a location for the RO system with adequate clearance from walls and other equipment to enable servicing of the
pump / motor assemblies, membranes, cartridge prefilter and other serviceable components. Allow at least four (4) feet of
clearance at the top end of the membrane housings for future membrane replacement.
The unit must be located near a drain able to accommodate up to 10 GPM. This is in addition to any other equipment
sharing the drain.
A grounded power supply of the appropriate voltage matching your system model’s voltage with 15 amp fuse protection
and a local disconnect switch is required.
Caution: The system must not be located near any corrosive chemicals, or in an area where the
temperature may exceed 113°F (45°C).
Warning: The system must be properly grounded to avoid injury from electrical shock.

Installation and Service Manual – L Series Reverse Osmosis System
Series S100 RO System Controller Installation and Setup
Introduction
The Applied Membranes Inc. Series 100 controller is a state of the art control system for commercial and industrial
reverse osmosis systems. The Series 100 is a microprocessor controlled system that can monitor pressure and level
switches. A TDS monitor/controller with adjustable limit is an integral part of the Series 100. The Series 100 displays
system status and sensor and switch input status using a status LED and a 3 digit LED display.
Specifications
Power: 120/240 VAC -15+10%, 50/60Hz, 6Watts
Environment: -22°F to 140°F, 0-95% RH, non-condensing
Enclosure: 7.6" X 4.6" X 2.4" (193mm X 117mm X 61mm)
Display: 3 digit red LED
Front Panel: Overlay with LED window, status LED, water
quality LED, power and setpoint switches
Relay Outputs
RO pump relay 120/240VAC, 1HP
Inlet valve relay 120/240VAC, 5A
Relays supply same output voltage as board power(120 or 240 VAC)
Installation: Power Wiring
Refer to the photograph and drawings on the following pages for location of all terminal strips, connectors and jumpers.
All terminals on the board are labeled.
Caution: Before applying power to the unit, verify that the voltage jumpers are configured correctly
for the voltage that will power the unit. The voltage jumpers are located below the transformer. For 120VAC
operation, there should be a wire jumper installed between J1 and J3 and a second wire jumper installed
between J2 and J4. For 240VAC operation, a single wire jumper should be installed between J3 and J4.
Pump and Valve Relay Outputs
The Series 100 supplies relay outputs to control the RO pump and solenoid valves. NOTE: The relays output the same
voltage as the AC power to the board. If the pump and solenoids operate on different voltages, a contactor will need to be
supplied to operate the pump.
RO Pump Wiring
The RO pump connects to P1-4( L1) and P1-5(L2) RO pump terminals. This output can operate 120/240VAC motors up to
1HP directly. For motors larger than 1HP or for 3 phase motors, this output can be used to operate a contactor.
Inlet and Flush Valve Wiring
The inlet and flush valves must operate at the same voltage as supplied to the board. These outputs can supply 5A
maximum and are not designed to operate pump motors directly. If these outputs are to be used to operate a boost or
flush pump, the output should be used to operate a contactor. The inlet valve connects to P1-6(L1) and P1-7(L2) inlet
terminals. The flush valve connects to P1-8(L1) and P1-9(L2) flush terminals.
TDS Cell Installation and Wiring
For accurate TDS readings, the cell should be installed in a tee fitting where a continuous flow of water passes over the
cell and no air can be trapped around the cell. The cell is connected with 5 wires to terminal strip P3. Connect each
colored wire to the terminal labeled with the same color.
Switch Inputs, Dry Contact: Pressure fault,
Pretreat lockout, Tank full
Cell: TDS cell with 3 digit display, range:
0-1000PPM. Wetted parts ABS and 316SS,
3/4" NPT, 300 PSI max.

Installation and Service Manual – L Series Reverse Osmosis System
Switch Inputs
Switch inputs are connected to P2. The connections for these inputs are not polarity sensitive and can be connected to
either terminal. The switch inputs should be dry contact closures only. CAUTION: Applying voltage to these terminals will
damage the controller. The switches can be either normally open or normally closed, but all switches must be the same. If
the controller is set for normally open switches, all switches must be open for the unit to run. If the controller is set for
normally closed switches, all switches must be closed for the unit to run. NOTE: J10 selects normally open or normally
closed operation. When J10 is in the A position, the unit is configured for normally open switches. When J10 is in the B
position, the unit is configured for normally closed switches.
Pressure Fault Switch
On systems where a low feed pressure shut down is required, a feed pressure switch can be connected to the pressure
fault input of P2. If a high pump pressure shut down is required, a high pressure switch can be connected to this input. If
both low feed pressure and high pump pressure shut down are required, both switches can be connected to this input.
Both switches must be either normally open or normally closed to operate properly.
Pretreat Switch
In systems with pretreatment, a pretreat lockout switch can be connected to the pretreat input of P2. This switch should
operate when the pretreatment device is out of service. NOTE: The output from the pretreatment device must be a dry
contact and must not supply voltage.
Tank Full Switch
For 2 level switch operation, the upper switch is connected to the tank full input and the lower switch is connected to the
tank full low input. When both switches are clear, the RO unit will run. The RO unit will continue to run when the water
level rises and the lower switch becomes active. When the upper switch becomes active, after the 5 second delay, the RO
unit will shut down. FUL will show on the display. When the tank level drops and the upper level switch clears, the status
LED will began to flash and the RO unit will remain off. When the lower level switch clears, the LED will go off, and the
RO will restart.

Pressure Fault
If the pressure fault input is active for 2 seconds, a pressure fault condition will occur. This will cause the controller to shut
down. PF will show on the water quality display and the status lamp will flash red. To clear the pressure fault, press the
power key twice.
PF Auto Reset/PF Retry
With J8 in the A position, the power must be cycled using the Power key to clear a pressure fault shut down. A PF auto
reset function is enabled by placing J8 in the B position. When a pressure fault occurs with the PF auto reset enabled, the
controller will automatically reset after a 60 minute delay and the controller will start. If the pressure fault has cleared, the
controller will continue to run. If the pressure fault condition is still active, the controller will again shut down for the
pressure fault condition and the auto reset cycle will repeat. During the auto reset delay, the water quality display will
show PF and the status lamp will be off.
A PF retry function is enabled by placing J8 in the C position. When a pressure fault occurs with the PF retry enabled, the
controller will shut down for 30 seconds and then attempt to restart. If the pressure fault is still active, the controller will
shut down for 5 minutes and then attempt to restart. If the pressure fault is still active, the controller will shut down for 30
minutes and attempt to restart. If the pressure fault is still active, the controller will lockout for the pressure fault. During
the retry delays, the water quality display will show PF and the status lamp will be a steady red. If during one of the retries,
the controller is able to start and run continuously for 10 seconds, the retry function is reset. If a pressu re fault occurs, the
PF retry cycle will repeat from the beginning.
When J8 is in the D position, both the PF auto reset AND the PF retry functions are enabled. If a pressure fault condition
occurs, the PF retry function will operate as described above. If the retry function locks out, the PF auto reset function will
operate as described above. The PF retry and PF auto reset functions will continue in a 30 second, 5 minute, 30 minute
and 60 minute cycle until the pressure fault condition clears.
Tank Full
For 2 level switch operation, the upper switch is connected to the tank full input and the lower switch is connected to the
tank full low input. When both switches are clear, the RO unit will run. The RO unit will continue to run when the water
level rises and the lower switch becomes active. When the upper switch becomes active, after the 5 second delay, the RO
unit will shut down. FUL will show on the display. When the tank level drops and the upper level switch clears, the status
LED will began to flash and the RO unit will remain off. When the lower level switch clears, the LED will go off, and the
RO will restart.
Pretreat Lockout
If the pretreat lockout input is active for 2 seconds, the controller will shut down for a pretreat lockout condition. The water
quality display will show PL. When the pretreat lockout condition clears, the unit will restart.
Membrane Flush
A feed water flush takes place every time the system shuts down in a Tank Full condition. With the pump off, the inlet
valve opens for 5 minutes.
Water Quality Display
The water quality display shows the current water quality when the controller is operating normally and status messages
when the controller is shut down. The water quality display is 0 - 999PPM. If the water quality is above 999, the display
will show “^ ^ ^”. If the water quality is below the setpoint, the water quality lamp will be green. If the water quality is above
the setpoint, the water quality lamp will be red.

Water Quality Setpoint
The water quality setpoint can be adjusted from 0-999. If set to 999, the water quality lamp will always remain green. To
set the water quality setpoint, press the Setpoint key. The display will alternate between the setpoint and SP. Use a small
screwdriver to adjust the SP adjustment to the desired setpoint value. Press the Setpoint key to return the display to the
water quality display.
Calibration
To adjust the calibration of the water quality, measure the water with a meter calibrated to a known standard. Using a
small screwdriver, adjust the CAL adjustment to get the correct reading on the display.
Initial System Start-Up
Refer to the P&ID on page 31 for valve and gauge locations.
Note: Pump throttle valve CV-1 is only available on systems with Sta-Rite Multistage pumps (L-14A,
L-24A: 50Hz Only; L-34A, L-44A, L-54A, L-64A All Voltages)
. Systems with Procon pumps do not have CV-1.
1. Direct the product water tubing to drain.
2. Open the feed water supply valve.
3. Open the system pressure (pump throttle) control valve (CV-1) fully counterclockwise (if applicable). Open the
concentrate control valve (CV-2) fully counterclockwise. Close the recycle valve (CV-3).
4. Press the power button to turn the system on. Note inlet water pressure must be at least 40 psi.
Caution: If the pump chatters loudly, it is starving for water (cavitating). Turn the unit OFF
immediately to prevent pump damage. Correct the low pressure condition before proceeding.
5. If incoming pressure is too high, an inlet pressure regulator (not included) may be installed. This should be set at
40 psi.
6. Some fittings may have loosened during shipment. Check for leaks at all tube fittings and threaded joints.
7. Allow the unit to run for at least 30 minutes to flush the preservative solution from the system.
8. Once the preservative solution has been flushed from the system, shut down the system by pressing the ‘power’
button and redirect the permeate flow to desired product storage tank or down-stream equipment.
9. Restart system. (continued on following page)

10. Adjust the Throttle Valve (CV-1) to get the specified permeate flow (if
applicable).
11. Adjust the Control Valve (CV-2) and Recycle Valve (CV-3) until the
specified permeate flow and recycle flow are obtained. It may be
necessary to readjust the Throttle Valve (CV-1).
Caution: Do not exceed the rated permeate flow or the rated recycle flow – otherwise
membranes may be irreversibly fouled.
Caution: Do not operate the system with the control valve closed.
By setting the feed pressure as low as possible to meet the application requirement, the service
Note:
life of the pump and RO elements will be optimized. The system should be run continuously when
possible, rather than go through frequent start/stop cycles.
12. Run unit and check again for leaks, repair prior to placing unit in service.
13. Test the operation of the pressure switch by slowly closing the inlet water supply valve. The unit should shut off
after a short 5 second time delay.
Caution: If the unit does not shut off, turn the unit OFF immediately to prevent pump damage.
Disconnect the electrical power source, then check the wiring and replace or adjust the switch if
necessary. (Pressure switch adjustment instructions in maintenance on page 24.)
14. Once all the desired flows are set, allow the system to run for approximately 30 minutes. Then record the
performance information using the system operation data log on page 18. The values recorded at startup will be
important for determining system performance at a later date.
Operating DO’s & DON’Ts
DO:
1. Change the cartridge filters regularly
2. Monitor the system and keep a log daily
3. Run the system, as much as possible, on a continuous basis.
4. Adjust the system recovery to the recommended value
DON’T
1. Permit chlorine in the feed water.
2. Shut down the system for extended periods.

System Automation
The system will automatically turn on when the water level in the permeate tank reaches the mid level float, and turn off
when the water meets the high level float.
There are two float switches on this system:
High level float switch: Signals when tank is full and shuts down the unit.
Low level float switch: Signals when the tank is half empty and turns the unit on.
(Optional third switch) Tank empty switch: Signals when the tank is empty to shut off the repressurization
pump (not included with the system).
Example of typical start-up sequence:
1. Water level in tank drops to low level.
2. Solenoid opens to allow feed water into the system.
3. Incoming feed must meet/exceed low pressure setpoint for the pump to turn on. (This will indicate sufficient inlet
water supply to operate the pump without cavitation.)
4. Pump will start after delay (typically 5-10 seconds).
5. Permeate and concentrate flows are determined by manual control of concentrate valve.
6. System will continue to run until the water level in the tank reaches high level.
7. Once the water reaches high level, pump will stop and a flush cycle will begin. The solenoid will close once the flush
is complete.
System Shut-Down
1. Press the Power Button. Allow sufficient time for the system to go through the flush cycle before proceeding.
2. Turn off the main power disconnect. This removes all power from both the power and control enclosures.
3. If the RO System is to be shut down for more than a week, a membrane preservative should be used. Refer to the
instructions for preserving the system.
4. When the system is restarted after extended shutdown, both permeate and concentrate should be diverted to the
drain for at least 30 minutes.
System Monitoring and Record Keeping
The system should be monitored and all pertinent data recorded on a daily basis. Data is needed to determine the
operating efficiency and for performing system maintenance. The latter includes cleaning of the membranes, adjusting
the operating conditions, replacement of the membranes, and antiscalant use. Use the system data logging form the
following page.
*Membrane warranty claims cannot be processed without adequate operating data and history of the RO System.

System Operation Temperature
The water temperature is one of the key factors in the performance of the reverse osmosis membrane element. A higher
temperature will result in more product flow and a lower temperature will result in less product flow.
All reverse osmosis membrane elements and systems are rated at 77° Fahrenheit (25° Celsius).
To find the membrane permeate rate at a different temperature, follow these steps:
Find the temperature correction factor (TCF) from the below table. Divide the rated permeate flow at 77° Fahrenheit by
the temperature correction factor. The result is the permeate flow at the desired temperature.

key DOES NOT remove these voltages. The power must be disconnected from the power source. Whe n
connecting or disconnecting any wiring to the unit, be sure the power is turned off at the disconnect or
breaker.
Note: If fuse F1 is blown, none of the outputs will operate. If fuse F2 is blown, the controller will be
inoperative.
PROBLEM
System Inoperative
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
Is the water quality display lit? If no, check fuse F2 located below the
transformer. If the fuse is OK, use a voltmeter to verify that power is applied to
power terminals L1 and L2 . If power is applied to the power terminals and the
above checks are OK, the board may be defective and should be replaced. If
no power is applied to the board, check the power wiring to the controller.
Inlet Valve Will Not Operate
RO Pump Will Not Operate
No Flush or Not Flushing

No or Incorrect TDS Reading
Is the controller off? If no, are any shut down conditions active? If no, is the
inlet LED, I2 lit? If no, replace the board. If yes, check fuse F1. If bad, replace
the fuse. If it is OK, check the inlet terminals for power. Is there power? If no,
replace the board. If yes, check the valve and valve wiring.
Is the controller off? If no, are any shut down conditions active? If no, is the RO
LED, I1 lit? If no, replace the board. If yes, check fuse F1. If bad, replace the
fuse. If it is OK, check the RO pump terminals for power. Is there power? If no,
replace the board. If yes, check the pump motor and motor wiring.
Verify that the flush jumpers, J11 and J12 are set correctly.
Is the sensor wired correctly? If no, correct wiring. Is the sensor installed as
described in the installation section? If no, install correctly. Is unit calibrated
correctly? If no, recalibrate. Disconnect green and white wires of sensor from
P3. Does reading show 0? If no, replace board. If yes, reconnect wires and
remove sensor from piping and dry. Does reading show 0? If no, replace
sensor. If yes, short pins of sensor. Does reading show ^ ^ ^? If no, replace
board.

System Maintenance
Maintain proper operating conditions.
(See section: “Design Basis” on pages 3-4)
Sediment Pre-Filter Cartridge
When to Change Sediment Prefilter Cartridge
Sediment cartridge Filters should be changed regularly to maintain proper pump
pressure and flow. If the pressure drop across the cartridge filter (as indicated by
the differential between the filter inlet and filter outlet pressure gauges) increases
by 10 psi, the cartridge filters should be changed.
Changing Cartridge Filters
1. Turn unit off.
2. Close inlet supply valve.
3. Un-assemble the filter housing (twist the sump counter-clockwise).
4. Remove and inspect the cartridge. Replace as needed.
5. Before replacing housing, insure that O ring seal is lubed and placed in groove
of housing. Inspect seal and replace as needed.
6. Assemble housing (turn the sump clockwise into the cap until tight).
Membrane Cleaning
When to Clean Membranes
In normal operation, the membrane in reverse osmosis elements can become fouled by mineral scale, biological matter,
and grime. These deposits build up during operation until they cause loss in water output or loss of salt rejection, or both.
Elements should be cleaned whenever the water output rate drops by 10 percent from its initial flow rate (the flow
rate established during the first 24 to 48 hours of operation), or when salt content in the product water rises noticeably.
Note: Check water temperature and apply temperature correction (page 19) to determine if flow loss
is due to low feedwater temperature. A malfunction in the pretreatment, pressure control or pump can cause
a drop in feedwater delivery pressure, feedwater flow, or product water output, or an increase in salt
passage. If such adjustments are needed, the element may not require cleaning.

Cleaning Sequence
Whether the system needs acid or alkaline cleaning will depend on the type of foulant suspected. We recommend acid
cleaning be performed first, even when alkaline cleaning is desired. If system performance recovers with acid cleaning,
then alkaline cleaning is not necessary.
1. ACID CLEANING (AM-11, C-C2520-A11)
2. FLUSH
3. ALKALINE CLEANING (AM-22, C-C2520-A22)
4. FLUSH
Cleaning Procedure Using Membrane Cleaning Cartridges
1. Shut down the RO system.
2. Disconnect the permeate line and divert permeate to drain during cleaning.
3. Remove the pre-filter cartridge from the filter housing.
4. Replace the sediment pre-filter cartridge with the cleaning cartridge and assemble into the filter housing.
5. Turn system ON. After 30-40 seconds*, shut down the system.
6. Let the membrane(s) soak in the cleaning solution overnight.
7. Remove the empty cleaning cartridge and replace it with the original filter.
8. Restart the system. Direct the permeate to drain for 5 minutes.
9. Go back to normal operations.
*Instead of time, you may use one of the following criteria:
a. Run the system until the pH of the concentrate is almost the same as the cleani ng solution.
• AM-11 pH = 3 • AM-22 pH = 10-12
b. Permeate rate for the system drops to a very low value.
Caution: Handle all chemicals with care. Wear protective clothing and eye protection.
Note: The system must be flushed thoroughly between acid and alkaline cleanings.
Membrane Replacement
1. Remove clamps from vessel using 9/16” socket or wrench. Use two screw drivers on each side to push end caps out
of vessel slowly.
2. Push the membrane out through the vessel from the feed end towards the concentrate end.
3. If there is not enough room to remove the membrane from the vessel through the concentrate end it can be removed
from the feed end.
4. Install the new membrane from the feed end. Ensure that the brine seal is oriented towards the feed end. Check that
the end adapters and all o rings are in good condition and in position.
5. Replace end plug(s) using glycerin lubricant as required on O rings (AMI Model No. H-C111DC).
6. It is highly recommended to have a spare set of O-rings and brine seal while replacing the membranes.
7. As the membranes may have preservative or be contaminated, please wash your hands thoroughly after replacing
membranes.

Shut-Down and Storage
Caution: Handle all chemicals with care. Wear protective clothing and eye protection.
Membrane Storage (outside of RO system)
To prevent bacterial growth and help maintain flux, it is recommended that elements be immersed in a solution 20.0
percent, by weight, AM-225 and 1.0 percent by weight AM-88.
Prepare the Solution: Make a water solution by adding about 1 ounce of AM-88 per gallon of water (use RO permeate if
possible). Also add about 1.5 lbs of AM-225 per gallon of water.
Storing Elements: Mix the solution well. Soak the elements in this solution for 1 hour. Drain and seal in plastic bags.
RO System Storage and Biocidal Protection
To prevent biological growth during storage, shipping, or system shutdowns, it is recommended that RO systems and
membranes be immersed in a solution of AM-88. This can be performed using a membrane preservative cart ridge,
part # C-C2520-A88.
System Preserving Procedure
1. Shut down to RO system.
2. Disconnect the permeate line and direct permeate to drain during cleaning/preserving.
3. Remove the 5M filter cartridge from the pre-filter housing.
4. Replace the filter cartridge with the preservative cartridge and assemble into the filter housing.
5. Turn system ON. After 30-40 seconds, shut down the system.
6. Drain the system of the permeate solution as much as possible by opening a valve/fitting at a low point in the system.
Close off the inlet and outlet to the membrane/system.
Flushing out Preservative/Re-start Procedure:
1. Open valves etc. and put the system back in the position it was before preserving.
2. Remove the empty preservative cartridge and replace it with a new cartridge filter.
3. Re-start the system. Direct permeate to drain for at least 30 minutes.
4. Return to normal operation.
Disinfection and Sterilization of RO Elements
An excellent disinfectant for spiral elements is 0.1 percent AM-88. This solution inhibits bacterial growth while
maintaining the high flux and salt rejection of elements. It is made by dissolving one ounce of AM-88 in 8 gallons of water.
Elements should be flushed with this solution before storage or at the beginning of long down periods.
Sterilization can be achieved with formaldehyde. However, this reagent should not be used unless the element is first
operated for 24 hours. Otherwise, severe flux losses may occur in the membrane. After this initial period, the membrane
will tolerate any customary formaldehyde concentration used in sterilization.
Other disinfectants and sterilants can be used. Hydrogen peroxide at 100 to 1000 ppm (0.01 to 0.1 percent) is effective
at room temperature. Hydrogen peroxide will damage the membrane at higher temperatures, however. Chloramine,
Chloramines T and N chloroisocyanurates can be used in spi ral elements. They are not very effective as sterilants,
however. Also, if they are used in combination with an already heavily fouled (biological) test loop or system, flux losses
are occasionally experienced from dead bacterial matter in the feed stream depositing on membrane surfaces. Chlorine
dioxide, free of hypochlorite or chlorine, may be used as a disinfectant. Both Chloramines and chlorine dioxide readily
pass through membranes, appearing in the permeate.
Chlorine (hypochlorite) is not recommended for disinfecting membrane elements. Permanent damage will occur.
Iodine, quaternary compounds, and phenolic disinfectants cannot be used with spiral elements. All three cause severe
flux losses.
