CAUTION:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have issued guidance to people with severely weakened immune systems who may want to take extra precautions to reduce the risk of infection with Cryptosporidium from drinking water. This guidance pertains to people with HIV/AIDS, patients receiving treatment for cancer, recipients of organ or bone marrow transplants, transplant patients taking immunosuppressive drugs, and persons who have congenital immunodeﬁ ciencies.

The EPA has stated that they do not know the signiﬁ cance of drinking water compared to other possible sources of Cryptosporidium to determine how most people become infected. The CDC-EPA guidance suggests that immunosuppressed individuals discuss their risks with their health care provider.

This drinking water system is tested and Certiﬁ ed by NSF International to NSF/ANSI Standard 58 for cyst reduction. It meets the NSF/ANSI standard of reducing at least 99.95%* of cysts (including Cryptosporidium), however, because this is not 100%, immunosuppressed individuals should take the extra precaution of boiling their drinking water. According to the CDC-EPA, bringing water to a rolling boil for one minute is the most certain approach for killing Cryptosporidium.

All individuals should take adequate precautions when changing the ﬁ lter cartridges, including wearing protective gloves, to avoid direct contact with the exhausted cartridges.

*For complete speciﬁ cations, refer to the Performance Data Sheet.

SECTION I. INTRODUCTION

Your new Reverse Osmosis (R.O.) Drinking Water

System uses a combination of ﬁ ltration tech nol o gies to reduce unwanted contaminants in a water supply. The following steps combine to give you the best in clear sparkling drinking water:

MECHANICAL FILTRATION/ACTIVATED

CARBON–The sediment preﬁ lter will remove the larger particles such as silt, rust and scale. Its 5 micron (equal to 0.0002 inch) nominal rating helps to give maximum life to the R.O. Membrane. The activated carbon in the Preﬁ lter will remove any chlo rine that may be present in the feed water. This pre treat ment is also necessary for membrane pro tec tion.

REVERSE OSMOSIS MEMBRANE–The R.O.

Membrane is the heart of the ﬁ l tra tion system. It is designed to reduce the dis solved min er al content of the water. Minerals picked up in the environment by the water are measured as Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). In the Reverse Os mo sis process, dissolved minerals are sep a rat ed from the incoming water (Feed Water) to produce the product wa ter (the Permeate). The excess minerals are rinsed to drain (the Reject Water).

The membrane is a specially con struct ed, fully

aromatic polyamide ﬁ lm and is classiﬁ ed as a Thin Film Composite (T.F.C.).

The spiral wound construction of the R.O.

Mem brane provides maximum surface area for water production and is less susceptible to fouling by par tic u late matter, turbidity and colloidal ma te ri als.

ACTIVATED CARBON–The Ac ti vat ed Carbon

Post Filter contains carbon particles with a vast network of pores. The tremendous surface area of these pores (typically 800–1200 square meters per gram of carbon) gives the carbon very good adsorptive sites for sub stanc es that contribute to tastes and odors.

IN–LINE ACTIVATED CARBON POST

FILTER–The In–Line Activated Carbon Post Filter is located after the Holding Tank and reduces the tastes and odors that may pass through the system. It adds a ﬁ nal polish to the water.

AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF VALVE–The

ASO Valve senses when the product water tank is full and closes the feed water supply to prevent excess reject water from going to drain when the unit is not producing water.

WATER QUALITY MONITOR–The optional

Water Quality Monitor has been integrated into

the system cover for instant monitoring at the touch of a button. The monitor compares the level of the total dissolved solids in the incoming (feed) water versus the product water and calculates the percent rejection. The monitor is preset to indicate a level of 75% rejection. NSF/ANSI Standard 58 requires a 75% total dissolved solids rejection to pass the requirement of the standard.

A green light indicates that the percent rejection

is at or above the set (desired) value and that the system is producing quality water.

the Water Quality Monitor was designed to operate best while the system is making water, a false reading may occur if tested when your R.O. drinking water system is not

making water. Please empty the storage tank, wait 15 minutes for the system to begin making water, and test your water quality again. If the Water Quality Monitor light is still amber, please contact a water treatment professional for service. The Water Quality Monitor requires a 9 volt battery, which is included. Systems not equipped with a Water Quality Monitor contain a water quality test kit.

An amber light indicates that the product

water quality is less than acceptable. Because

B. Tools Recommended for Installation

The following tools will cover most of the

in stal la tion sites encountered:

3

1.

/8" variable speed electric drill.

2. Extension work light with outlet.

3. Safety glasses.

4. 1¼" porcelain hole cutter kit.

1

5. 1¼" Greenlee hole punch and

/8" and ½"

metal drill bits for pilot hole.

6. Center punch and hammer.

7. 1¼" wood bit.

8. Concrete drill bits.

C. Site Selection for Major System Components

The R.O. System was designed to ﬁ t under a sink,

however, because of space limitations or other reasons, the system’s ﬂ exible design allows for other lo ca tions. When determining the location re mem ber that access to a cold water tap line, the household drain, and ease of ﬁ lter re place ment are important considerations.

All components and tubing should be located

in an area which is not exposed to freezing temperatures. If winter temperatures are severe, the area should be above the minimum temperature listed in Table B, page 5 for proper performance. Do not expose unit or tubing to direct sunlight.

1. Dispensing Faucet–The faucet should be placed near the sink where drinking water is normally obtained. Convenience of use (ﬁ lling of water pitchers and glasses), and an open area beneath the faucet under the sink for attaching product and drain tubing are considerations. A 2" diameter ﬂ at surface is required above and below the installation site. The thickness of the mount ing surface should not exceed 1¼". Watch for strengthening web bing on the underside of cast iron sinks.

2. Drinking Water Holding Tank–The Holding Tank may be placed where it is convenient within 10 feet of the faucet; under the sink or in an ad ja cent cabinet are the best choices. If a long er run of tubing is required, the tubing

6

should be the 3/8" diameter OD size to prevent a high pres sure drop. Re mem ber, these tanks can weigh up to 30 pounds when full of water; a ﬁ rm, level area is required.

Faucet has a critical level line “CL” marked on its body and should be mounted so that the “CL” line is at least one (1) inch (26mm) above the ﬂ ood level rim of the sink.

3. R.O. Manifold Assembly–The manifold can be installed on either the right or left side of the under–sink area or a cabinet. The right side is recommended because all the tubing will be to the back of the cabinet and out of the way. Installation in the basement is also an option, one location is near the laundry/ utility sink where cold potable water and drain access is handy. The mounting location should allow adequate clear ance and accessibility for cartridge chang es.

4. Feed Water Connection–The Feed Water Saddle Valve should be located as close to the manifold assembly as possible. USE A POTABLE COLD WATER SUPPLY ONLY. Softened water is preferred as it will extend the life of the R.O. Membrane.

5. Drain Connection–The waste water must go to drain through an anti–siphon air gap. The air gap is pro vid ed for in the base of the faucet. If discharging into a utility sink or standpipe, an air gap of greater than 1" above the ﬂ ood rim must be provided.

Do NOT connect the system drain line to the

dishwasher drain or near the garbage dis pos al. Backpressure from these units may cause the air gap to overﬂ ow.

SECTION IV. INSTALLATION STEPS

All plumbing should be done in accordance with state

and local plumbing codes.

NOTE: Some codes may require installation by a

licensed plumber; check with the local plumbing authority prior to installation.

The easiest installation is to use an existing

spray attachment hole. If the spray faucet hole is not available, then the sink top must be drilled. Choose a convenient location as described in Sec. III, C.1, page 6.

1. Mark the location of the center of the faucet base.

2a. Drilling a stainless steel sink:

•Center punch the hole to provide a starting

point for the drill.

•Start with a smaller drill as a pilot, and then

drill a ½" diameter hole to accept the bolt of a 1¼" Greenlee Hole Punch (1¼" chassis punch).

•Clean away any chips.

•Install the punch and tighten the nut to cut

the hole.

•Deburr any sharp edges.

2b. Drilling a porcelain sink: It is best to use a special 1¼" diameter cutter

designed for porcelain. A carbide tipped masonry bit is a second choice.

•Place a piece of tape over the area to be

drilled to help prevent chip ping.

•Drill a pilot hole for the porcelain cutter.

Use the pilot drill supplied with the kit or a car bide tipped drill.

•When drilling the 1¼" hole, drill slowly and

carefully; the porcelain chips easily.

•After drilling, clean the area well. Iron ﬁ lings,

if left in place, can cause rust stains.

2c. Drilling a counter top:

In restricted under–sink areas, it may be easier to

install the faucet ﬁ rst. Allow ad e quate tubing lengths for any ﬁ nal component position.

A. Faucet Installation–The faucet contains an

anti–siphon air gap. While the system is producing water, the drain water ﬂ ows from the R.O., through the air gap and then to the household drain. The purpose of the air gap is to prevent water in the drain from backing up into the R.O. Drinking Water System.

NOTE: For proper installation the Air Gap

NOTE: The counter top must be less than 1¼"

thick. Treat ceramic tile as por ce lain until the tile is pen e trat ed, then use the carbide tipped metal cutter.

Formica counter tops may be drilled with a

good 1¼" wood bit; drilling a

3

/32" pilot hole

will help keep the bit going straight.

•Rotate the Spout and Body into position. Align the Slotted Washer and the Spacer to allow access to the Hose Barbs, and tighten the Hex Nut while holding the faucet in alignment with a padded Crescent wrench. Do not over tighten.

B. Feed Water Saddle Valve Installation

Decide on location. Do NOT connect to a hot

water feed line. If you are not sure of the supply, run the hot water and feel the supply piping.

Wa ter over 100°F may cause permanent dam age to the R.O. Membrane. (Refer to Fig. 3 below.)

1. Shut off the water supply and drain the line. 2a. To install on (soft) Copper Tubing supply

line:

•Turn the Handle of the Feed Water Saddle Valve counter clockwise (outward) until the lance does not protrude from the gasket. It may have to be pushed in.

•Assemble the Feed Water Saddle Valve on the tubing.

3

/8" OD tubing use the back plate side

–for

with the small groove to prevent dis tor tion of the tub ing.

5

–for larger tubing (up to

/8" OD) use the large

groove of the back plate.

•Assemble and tighten the brass screw.

• To pierce the tubing, turn the Valve Handle

fully clock wise (inward). A small amount of water may escape from the outlet until it is fully pierced.

•When you feel the Valve Handle ﬁ rmly seated in the clockwise direction, the copper tube is pierced and the valve is closed.

2b. To install on (hard) Steel or Brass Tubing

supply line.

•The supply line should now be drained. Use a battery powered or properly ground ed drill to avoid shock hazard.

3. With the Feed Water Saddle Valve closed, open the sink faucet and the water supply and allow the water to run for a few minutes to ﬂ ush any debris caused by the in stal la tion.

•Close the faucet and check the Feed Water

Saddle Valve for leaks.

C. Drain Clamp Installation

Choose the drain outlet location per Sec. III, C.5,

page 7.

The following are instructions for discharging into

the sink drain pipe. (Refer to Fig. 1, page 3.)

1. Position the Drain Clamp on the sink drain pipe above the drain trap. Allow room for drilling. Tighten securely.

2. Use a battery pow ered or properly grounded drill. Using the Clamp port as a drill guide,

7

drill a

/32" hole through the wall of the drain pipe. Do NOT penetrate the opposite side of the pipe.

3

3. Locate the

/8" Black Drain Tubing which is

shipped loose in the box.

NOTE: When cutting the polytubing make

clean, square cuts, failing to do so could result in poor con nec tions and possible leaks.

CAUTION: The lowest point of the line

should be the point of connection to the Drain Clamp. There should be no sag in the line as this may cause ex ces sive noise as the reject water is ﬂ owing to drain.

Firmly press one end of the tubing over the

3

/8" drain outlet hose barb on the Dispensing Faucet. Allow the tubing to relax, then press ﬁ rmly again to insure proper seating. No connectors are re quired when attaching hose to Hose Barbs. Route the tubing to the Drain Clamp and trim to length.

•Refer to Fig. 4, below. Insert the tubing into

the Drain Clamp. Make sure the tubing is pressed all the way in to create a pressure tight connection.

NOTE: If you want to pull the tubing out for

some reason, push the ring around the tubing in and pull the tubing out.

D. R.O. Manifold Assembly Installation

Locate the site per Sec. III, C.3, page 7. Various

in stal la tion sites will require different types of mount ing fasteners; be sure the fastener selected will provide a ﬁ rm, solid mounting. A support panel may be necessary on thin cabinet walls or to span between wall studs on par ti cle board or drywall.

Do not drill through exterior cabinet walls or

leave sharp wood screw points exposed in readily accessible cabinet interiors.

The close proximity of a dishwasher or a trash

compactor may require spe cial fabrication of a mounting plate.

1. The mounting bracket will accept either #10 or #12 (5mm) mounting screws spaced on 6" (15 cm) centers. Allow at least 4" (10 cm) of clearance beneath the ﬁ lter housings to accommodate ﬁ lter changes. Mark the two locations (the bracket can be used as a template). Install the screws and tighten them until the heads are about

5

/8" from the wall.

2. Locate the ¼" Red Feed Water Tubing. Remove the red plug from the ﬁ tting labelled “In” on the manifold and insert the tubing. Reference the special supplement sheet in the carton for proper connection of all tubing and removal of plugs. Run the tubing along its course to the Feed Water Saddle Valve, trim to length. (Refer to Fig. 1, page 3.)

Refer to Fig. 3, page 8. To the end of the red

polytube install the Compression Nut, the Plastic Ferrule, and the Insert. Connect to the Feed Water Saddle Valve.

3. Locate the ¼" Black Drain Tubing. Remove the black plug from the ﬁ tting labelled “Drain” on the manifold and insert the tubing. The end of the Black Drain Tubing that should be inserted into the “Drain” port will have a yellow drain restrictor in it. Run the tubing along its course to the ¼" Hose Barb on the Dispensing Faucet, trim to length and connect by ﬁ rmly pressing over the barb. Allow the tubing to relax, then press ﬁ rmly again to insure proper seating.

4. Locate the ¼" yellow tubing with the tee attached to one end. Remove the yellow plug from the ﬁ tting labelled "Out" on the manifold and insert the tubing.

5. Locate the

3

/8" Blue Product Water Tubing. Firmly press one end into the tee and the other end into the faucet connector. (Refer to Fig. 1, page 3.) The ﬁ ttings will grab the tubing and seal it in place. Make sure the tub ing is pressed all the way in to create a pressure tight connection.

NOTE: If you want to pull the tubing out for

some reason, push the ring around the tubing in and pull the tubing out.

6. Hang the Manifold Assembly on the mounting screws and tighten. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

7. Remove the wrap ping from the In–Line Activated Carbon Post Filter. Slice

3

the

/8" Blue Polytube where it would be convenient to install and change the In–Line Fil ter. Make a clean straight cut to insure proper connections. The “Out” port on the In–Line Filter should be toward the faucet. Firmly press in the tubing. The ﬁ ttings will grab the tubing and seal it in place. Make sure the tubing is pressed all the way in to create a pressure tight connection.

E. Position the Drinking Water Hold ing Tank and

Make the Final Hose Connections.

1. Check the tank precharge pressure. Make sure it is between 5 to 7 psig. If not, use a bicycle hand pump or other pump to bring the pressure up to the 5 to 7 psig range.

2. Pull the cap/plug off the top of the tank where the Tank Shut–Off should go. (Refer to Fig. 1, page 3.)

3. Wrap the white teﬂ on tape, included in the box, three times around the ¼" male outlet thread. Wrap in the direction of the threads (clockwise when looking down on the Holding Tank). The tape will act as a thread sealant. Screw on the Holding Tank Shut–Off Valve.

4. Locate the

3

/8" Yellow Tubing. Firmly press one end into the Holding Tank Shut–Off Valve and the other end into the tee. (Refer to Fig. 1, page 3.) The ﬁ ttings will grab the tubing and seal it in place. Make sure the tubing is

10

pressed all the way in to create a pressure tight connection.

F. Start Up

At time of start up and each time the ﬁ lters are

changed the system should be sanitized (also see Operation and Maintenance Sec. V, B.1–4, page

12).

1. Sanitizing the system. Use a drip pan to aid clean–up.

NOTE: The system should be sanitized

BEFORE installing the Sediment/Carbon Preﬁ lter, the Activated Carbon Post Filter or the R.O. Membrane.

Housing hand tight only.

•Remove the Activated Carbon Filter Housing (the closest of the three to the In–Out ports), empty, and install the Activated Carbon Post Filter. Firmly tighten the Housing hand tight only.

2. Installing the R.O. Membrane:

•Remove the R.O. Membrane Housing, (the middle one), and empty.

•Insert the Membrane up into the manifold. (The O–rings should be up toward the manifold.) Check the Housing O–ring for proper position in its groove, engage and ﬁ rmly tighten the Housing hand tight only.

•Use a good quality unscented 5¼% liquid chlorine household bleach.

•Open the Dispensing Faucet by lifting the black handle and open the Holding Tank Shut–Off Valve (the handle should be parallel with the valve body).

•Remove the plug on the underside of the manifold labelled “SEDIMENT/ CARBON”. Pour one capful of bleach (this is approximately 2 tsp. or 10 ml) into one of the white Housings. Insert a Housing O–ring into the Housing groove, (press ﬁ rmly in place). Engage and ﬁ rmly tighten the Housing hand tight only.

•Remove the plugs labelled “MEMBRANE” and “ACTIVATED CARBON” from the underside of the manifold. To each of the remaining white Housings, add one capful of bleach. Insert a Housing O–ring, engage and ﬁ rmly tighten the Housings hand tight only.

•Slowly open the Feed Water Saddle Valve (turning counter clockwise).

•As soon as the water begins to come out of the Dispensing Faucet, close the Faucet.

•Let stand for 15 minutes.

NOTE: During this time, check the system

carefully for leaks.

•At the end of 15 minutes, CLOSE the Feed Water Saddle Valve and open the Dispensing Faucet.

•Allow the Holding Tank to completely drain, then remove the Sediment/Carbon Filter Housing (the farthest of the three from the In–Out ports), empty, and install the Sediment/Carbon Preﬁ lter. Firmly tighten the

3. Rinsing the system:

•Slowly open the Feed Water Saddle Valve fully counter clockwise.

•The Holding Tank Valve should be open.

•Check the Air Gap Window on the

Dispensing Faucet to be sure that the drain water is ﬂ owing. (Refer to Figure 2, page 8.) The R.O. System is now making water.

•Do not open the Faucet for at least 8 hours.

•Do not use the ﬁ rst three full tanks of water.

CAUTION: The R.O. Membrane is shipped

with a preservative in it. To ensure proper rinsing of the R.O. Membrane it is important to wait at least 8 hours before emptying each tank.

When the Faucet is ﬁ rst opened, expect air

and carbon ﬁ nes (very ﬁ ne black powder) from the In–Line and Activated Carbon Post Filters to be rinsed out. This is normal for the ﬁ rst tank of water or after the Activated Carbon Post Filters are changed.

SECTION V. OPERATION & MAINTENANCE

A. Normal Operation

1. It is normal for the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) of the water to be higher than normal during the ﬁ rst 5 gallons of operation; this is due to the sanitizing solution and the new Post Filters. After this water is rinsed to drain, the removal rate should stabilize at a value of greater than 75%. The optional Water Quality Monitor measures the TDS reduction and gives an indication of proper per for mance. Water pressure affects the production rate and quality.

11

2. R.O. systems produce drinking water at relatively slow rates; it can take up to 6 hours or more to ﬁ ll the Holding Tank. Normal operation is to let the Holding Tank ﬁ ll with water and then draw water as needed. When the pressure in the Holding Tank falls to a given pressure (as the water is being used) the Automatic Shut–Off Valve (ASO Valve) will start water production and the system will reﬁ ll the Holding Tank. When the Hold ing Tank is full and no water is being used, the ASO Valve will automatically shut off the feed water to conserve water. The more water that is used (up to the capacity of the system) the better the R.O. system will function. Other uses for the water are ﬂ owers, pets and rinsing glassware.

With each use it is recommended that you run

the tap for at least 10 seconds prior to using water. This is especially important if the water tap has not been used daily.

After periods of non–use, such as a week of va ca tion, it is better to empty the Holding Tank and allow the system to produce fresh wa ter for use. If the system is not used for 3–4 weeks or longer, it is a good idea to resanitize the system and to change the preﬁ lter and post ﬁ lters.

B. Changing Filters

THIS R.O. SYSTEM CONTAINS FILTERS

WHICH MUST BE REPLACED AT REGULAR INTERVALS TO MAINTAIN PROPER PERFORMANCE. USE ONLY FACTORY APPROVED FILTERS.

All individuals should take adequate precautions

when changing the ﬁ lters, including wearing protective gloves, to avoid direct contact with the exhausted ﬁ lters.

The recommended interval for changing the ﬁ lters (not the R.O. Membrane) is every six (6) months. Typical T.F.C. Membrane life expectancy is three years. Local con di tions may dictate more frequent changes.

NOTE: If the R.O. Membrane is to be replaced,

see Sec. IV, F.1–3, page 11, for the proper pro ce dure.

Use a drip pan to catch any water that may spill

when the Filter Housings are removed. Refer to Fig. 1 page 3 for component location.

1. Close the Feed Water Saddle Valve by turning fully clockwise and open the Dispensing Faucet by lifting the handle. Allow the Holding Tank to empty.

2. Loosen and remove the Sediment/Carbon Filter and the Activated Carbon Filter Housings. Discard the ﬁ lters.

3. Wash the inside of the Housings using a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Do not use abra sive cleaners or pads. Thoroughly rinse all soap from the Housings before reassembly.

4. To sanitize the system and replace the ﬁ lters:

NOTE: The system should be sanitized before

installing the Sediment/Carbon Preﬁ lter and Activated Carbon Post Filter.

•Use a good quality unscented 5¼% liquid

chlorine household bleach.

•Add one capful of bleach (this is 2 tsp. or

10 ml) to the Sediment/Carbon Filter Housing and tem po rari ly install the Housing without the Sediment/Carbon Preﬁ lter. Check the Housing O–ring for proper position in its groove, engage and ﬁ rmly tighten the Housing hand tight only.

•Add one capful of bleach to the Activated

Carbon Filter Housing. Carefully ﬁ ll the Housing with tap water and temporarily install the Housing without the Activated Carbon Post Filter.

•The Dispensing Faucet should be open, slowly

open the Feed Water Saddle Valve.

•As soon as water begins to drip out of the

Dis pens ing Faucet, close the Faucet.

•Let the system stand for 15 minutes.

•At the end of 15 minutes, in the following

order, close the Feed Water Saddle Valve, close the Holding Tank Valve and open the Dispensing Faucet to release the pressure.

•Remove the Sediment/Carbon Filter Housing

and empty. Remove the wrapping and install the Sediment/Carbon Preﬁ lter. Firmly tighten the Housing hand tight only.

•Remove the Activated Carbon Filter Housing

and empty. Remove the wrapping and install the Activated Carbon Post Filter. Firmly tighten the Housing hand tight only.

•Disconnect the yellow product water tubing

that runs from the Holding Tank to the Tee (see Fig. 1, page 3). Put 50 drops of bleach (this is ½ tsp. or 3 ml) into the tubing and reconnect it to the Tee.

NOTE: Now is the convenient time to

change the In–Line Activated Carbon Post Filter, see Sec. V, C.1–6, page 13.

SECTION VI. TECHNICAL DATA

A. Water Quality

Water quality is normally measured with a special

meter that measures the water’s ability to conduct electricity. The more dissolved solids in the water, the higher the conductivity. The results are usu al ly reported in Parts per Mil lion (ppm) or Milligrams per Liter (mg/l) of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). (Al though technically they are not exactly equal,

in most dis cus sions ppm = mg/l.)

R.O. Membranes are rated by the amount of

dissolved solids that are rejected. This rating is a ratio of the TDS in the feed water to the TDS in the product water and is reported as Percent Rejection. If the feed water contained 100 ppm of TDS and the product water contained 10 ppm of TDS, 90 ppm have been rejected and the reject

ratio is 90%.

Percent Rejection =

Feed TDS–Product TDS

x 100%

Feed TDS

C. Changing the In–Line Activated Carbon Post

Filter

1. Close the Feed Water Saddle Valve by turning fully clockwise.

2. Close the Holding Tank Valve and then open the Dispensing Faucet to release the pressure.

3. Remove the In–Line Activated Carbon Post Filter. Disconnect the used Post Filter by pressing in the connector’s collar and at the same time pulling the tube out of the ﬁ tting. Firmly reconnect the polytubes to the new Post Filter. (Refer to Fig. 5 above.)

5. Slowly open the Feed Water Saddle Valve.

6. When water begins dripping out of the Faucet, in the following order, close the Faucet and open the Holding Tank Valve. When the Faucet is ﬁ rst opened, expect air and carbon ﬁ nes (very ﬁ ne black powder), from the new Post Filter to be rinsed out. This is normal for

the ﬁ rst tank of water.

EXAMPLE: Feed water is 500 ppm TDS and the product water is 75 ppm TDS.

Percent Rejection = 500 – 75

x 100%

500 Percent Rejection = 0.85 x 100% or 85%

B. Water Quantity

Water quantity is termed Flux or Product Water

Rate and is measured as the amount of water pro duced in one day. It is reported as Gallons per

Day (gpd) or Liters per Day (lpd).

The ﬂ ow of water to drain is the Reject Water

Rate and is measured as Gallons per Day (gpd) or

as Milliliters per Minute (ml/min).

Milliliters per minute x 0.38 = gallons per day

EXAMPLE: The drain ﬂ ow will ﬁ ll a graduated

cylinder to the 150 ml mark in one minute. 150 ml/min. x 0.38 = 57 gpd If the container available measures ounces, use

the following conversion:

Ounces per minute x 11.2 = gallons per day

EXAMPLE: The product ﬂ ow will ﬁ ll 2½ ounces

in two min utes.

13

2.5 oz. ÷ 2 min. = 1.25 oz./min.

1.25 oz./min. x 11.2 = 14 gpd The Reject Ratio is the amount of water pro duced

compared to the amount of water ﬂ owing to drain. Reject Ratio = Reject Rate_

Product Rate

EXAMPLE: The product rate is 14 gpd and the

reject rate is 56 gpd. Reject Ratio = 56 ÷ 14

Reject Ratio = 4 or 4–to–1

The Percent Recovery is another way to measure

the amount of water produced as compared to the amount actually used.

Net Pressure Differential = Feed Water Pressure – Holding Tank Pressure – Osmotic Pressure

The higher the net pressure differential, the higher

the quantity and quality of water produced. Some loss of production is normal when using a pressurized Holding Tank.

% Recovery = Product Rate

x 100%

Feed Rate

NOTE: The total ﬂ ow or feed water rate into the

system is the sum of the product ﬂ ow and the drain ﬂ ow.

EXAMPLE: The product water rate is 14 gpd and

the drain water rate is 56 gpd. Feed Rate = 14 gpd + 56 gpd = 70 gpd % Recovery = 14 gpd

x 100%

70 gpd % Recovery = 0.20 x 100% or 20%

C. Net Pressure Differential

Most R.O. Membranes are rated at a standardized

condition of 77°F (25°C) and 65 psig (450kPa) discharging to atmospheric pressure.

Product water quality and quantity greatly depend

upon the Net Pressure Differential ( p) across the R.O. Membrane. This pressure dif fer en tial is a summation of the feed water pressure at the Membrane, which tries to push the water through, the pressure in the Holding Tank, which tries to push the water backwards and the osmotic pressure, which also tries to push the water backwards.

The Osmotic Pressure is in proportion to the

dissolved minerals in the water and can be ap prox i mat ed by 1 psig for each 100 ppm of TDS

EXAMPLE: A feed water with 1500 ppm of TDS would exert a backward pressure of about 15 psig on the membrane.
