NOTE: HIGHER TDS AND/OR LOWER FEED WATER TEMPERATURES WILL REDUCE THE SYSTEM’S PRODUCTION.

REJECTION, RECOVERY AND FLOW RATES

R2-Series Reverse Osmosis Systems are designed to produce permeate water at the capacities indicated in the “design basis section” on page 19 of this manual. For example, the R2-6140 produces

6.25 gallons per minute of permeate water at the listed operating test conditions. The amount of total dissolved solids (TDS) rejected by the membrane is expressed as a percentage. For

example, a 98.5% rejection rate means that 98.5% of total dissolved solids do not pass through the membrane. To calculate the % rejection, use the following formula:

% Rejection = [(Feed TDS – Product TDS) / Feed TDS] x 100

Example:

99.2% = [(10,000-80)/10,000] x 100

NOTE: ALL TDS FIGURES MUST BE EXPRESSED IN THE SAME UNITS, TYPICALLY PARTS PER MILLION (PPM) OR MILLIGRAMS PER LITER (MG/L).

R2-Series Reverse Osmosis Systems are designed to reject up to 99.2% NaCl, unless computer projections have been provided or stated otherwise.

OPERATING DOs AND DON’Ts

DO:

 Change the cartridge filters regularly  Monitor the system and keep a daily log  Adjust the system recovery to the recommended value  Always feed the pump with filtered water

DON’T:

 Permit chlorine to be present in the feed water  Shut down the system for extended periods without preservation  Close the control valves completely  Operate the system with insufficient feed flow  Operate the pump dry

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

The reverse osmosis process causes the concentration of impurities. The impurities may precipitate (fall out of solution) when their concentration reaches saturation levels.

NOTE: PRECIPITATION CAN SCALE OR FOUL MEMBRANES AND MUST BE PREVENTED.

Check your feed water chemistry and pre-treatment. If necessary, consult with your local dealer or distributor.

PRE-FILTER PRESSURE GAUGES

Pre-filter gauges measure the feed water pressure when it enters and exits the pre-filter. A pressure differential of 10 - 15 psi or more on the two pressure gauges indicates that the pre-filters require servicing.

PUMP PRESSURE AND CONCENTRATE PRESSURE GAUGES

Pump and concentrate gauges measure the pressure of water exiting the multistage pump and the pressure of concentrate water as it exits the pressure vessel array. Comparison of the pump output and concentrate pressures allows for the establishment of a baseline pressure differential. If the pressure differential increases over time from this baseline, it would be an indication that the reverse osmosis membranes need to be inspected.

R2-Series User’s Manual 11/13/12 MKTF - 212

PERMEATE (PRODUCT) FLOW METER AND CONCENTRATE (WASTE) FLOW METER

The permeate and concentrate flow meters indicate the flow rates of the permeate and concentrate water. The measurements, when added together, also indicate the feed water flow rate or total flow rate.

LOW PRESSURE SWITCH

The low pressure switch shuts off the system when the feed water pressure drops below 5 PSI, preventing damage to the pump. The system restarts automatically when there is a constant pressure of 35 PSI or more.

PUMP THROTTLE VALVE

The Pump Throttle Valve is installed as a standard feature on the R2-Series reverse osmosis systems. It provides an adjustment for pump pressure. As the feed water temperature decreases, and/or the feed water TDS increases, the system will require a higher operating pressure to produce the specified permeate flow.

ADJUSTING THE THROTTLE VALVE

To decrease the pressure, turn the handle clockwise. To increase the pressure turn the handle counter clockwise. (Figure 3, Page 21)

R2-Series User’s Manual 11/13/12 MKTF - 212

MEMBRANE REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT

Replacing membranes in the pressure vessels is an easy process if you have the proper information and tools at hand. Please refer to the following instructions when removing and replacing membrane elements:

WARNING: ALL PRESSURE GAUGES MUST READ ZERO BEFORE PROCEEDING. BEFORE ATTEMPTING, DISCONNECT THE POWER FROM THE SYSTEM AND BLEED ALL WATER PRESSURE FROM THE SYSTEM.

1. Remove the end plugs from the top of the pressure vessels. This is done by removing the two half-moon retaining disks using a #5 Allen wrench; the end plugs should then freely slide out of the pressure vessel.

2. Remove the replacement membrane element(s) from the shipping box; the membrane(s) should be contained within a plastic oxygen barrier bag.

NOTE: WEAR GLOVES FOR THE FOLLOWING STEPS IN ORDER NOT TO CONTAMINATE THE MEMBRANE.

3. Cut the bag open as close as possible to the seal at one end of the bag, so the bag may be reused if necessary.

4. Make sure that all parts are clean and free from dirt. Examine the brine seal, and permeate tube for nicks or cuts. Replace the O-rings or brine seal if damaged.

5. Flow directions should be observed for installation of each element into their respective pressure vessels.

FLUSHING THE SYSTEM

The system should be flushed weekly to remove sediment from the surface of the membranes. To manually flush the system, follow the preceding steps:

1. The system must be operating during the flush procedure.

2. Fully open the concentrate valve. (Figure 1B, Page. 15)

3. Allow the system to run for 10 to 20 minutes.

4. After 10 to 20 minutes, close the concentrate valve to its previous setting. Ensure the proper concentrate flow rate is going to the drain.

5. The system is now ready to operate.

PREPARING UNIT FOR STORAGE OR SHIPMENT

PRIOR TO SHIPPING OR STORING YOUR SYSTEM, THE SYSTEM SHOULD BE CLEANED WITH AN APPROPRIATE CLEANER, FLUSHED WITH WATER, AND PROTECTED FROM BIOLOGICAL ATTACK WITH AN APPROPRIATE SOLUTION FOR MEMBRANE ELEMENTS. THE MEMBRANE HOUSING(S) AND PLUMBING LINES OF THE SYSTEM MUST BE COMPLETELY DRAINED. ANY WATER REMAINING IN THE PLUMBING OF A SYSTEM MAY FREEZE, CAUSING SERIOUS DAMAGE.

PREPARING SYSTEM FOR STORAGE:

1. Totally immerse the elements in the membrane housing in a solution of 2% membrane preservative, venting the air outside of the pressure vessels. Use the overflow technique: circulate the Memstor solution in such a way that the remaining air in the system is minimized after the recirculation is completed. After the pressure vessel is filled, the Memstor solution should be allowed to overflow through an opening located higher than the upper end of the highest pressure vessel being filled.

2. Separate the preservation solution from the air outside by closing all valves.

3. Repeat this process at least once a month.

During the shutdown period, the plant must be kept frost-free, or the temperature must not exceed 113°F (45°C).

PREPARING UNIT FOR SHIPMENT:

4. Disconnect the inlet, concentrate, pre-filter, and permeate plumbing.

5. Drain all water from the pre-filter cartridge housings by unscrewing the housings, removing the pre-filter cartridges, and drain the water from the housings.

6. Disconnect the tubing from the connectors on the permeate and concentrate inlets and outlets.

R2-Series User’s Manual 11/13/12 MKTF - 212

7. Fully open the concentrate valve.

8. Drain the flow meters.

9. Allow the system to drain for a minimum of eight hours or until the opened ports quit dripping.

10. After draining is complete, reconnect all of the plumbing.

ABNORMAL PERMEATE FLOW

As time progresses, the efficiency of the membrane will be reduced. In general, the salt rejection does not change significantly until two or three years after installation when operated on properly pretreated feed water. The permeate flow rate will begin to decline slightly after one year of operation, but can be extended with diligent flushing and cleaning of the system. A high pH and/or precipitation of hardness can cause premature loss in rejection.

Permeate flow should be within 20% of the rated production, after correcting the feed water temperatures above or below 77°F. Check your permeate flow meter to determine the permeate flow rate.

NOTE: TO DETERMINE THE TEMPERATURE CORRECTION FACTOR, LOCATE THE TEMPERATURE CORRECTION TABLE ON THE FOLLOWING PAGE.

R2-Series User’s Manual 11/13/12 MKTF - 212

TEMPERATURE CORRECTION FACTORS FOR MEMBRANE

Find the temperature correction factor (TCF) from the table below. Divide the rated permeate flow at 77°F by the temperature correction factor. The result is the permeate flow at the desired temperature. (See

example on the next page). If a system is rated to produce 5 gpm of permeate water @ 77˚ F. The same

system will produce more water at a higher temperature. It will also produce less water at a lower temperature. Use the temperature correction table to obtain the correct flow.

Example:

R2-Series User’s Manual 11/13/12 MKTF - 212

5 gpm @ 59˚ F (5÷1.42=3.52 gpm)

5 gpm @ 77˚ F (5÷1=5 gpm)

5 gpm @ 84˚ F (5÷0.89=5.62 gpm)

SERVICE ASSISTANCE

If service assistance is required, please complete the following process: Contact your local dealer or distributor. Prior to making the call, have the following information available:
