Compact Design, Self-Contained Water Processing Unit for Point-Of-Use or Point-Of-Entry Applications:
Easy to Install or Retrofi t: Four water connections and 115VAC or 230VAC.
Easy to Maintain: Uses Industry Standard components - no more proprietary parts or sole­sourcing. All fi lters and components are on the front panel for easy access.
Single membrane can be changed in minutes, no need to remove membrane housings and fi ttings to change membrane.
Water conserving design features 50% recovery - produces 1 gallon of water while sending only 1 gallon to drain. Other RO systems may waste as much as 4 gallons to produce 1 gallon purifi ed water. expensive but environmentally unsatisfactory, especially in drought-stricken areas.
Concentrate recirculation loop decreases membrane fouling by rapidly fl ushing the membrane at a high velocity, greatly increasing membrane life.
Time-delayed inlet solenoid valve operates for several seconds before pump activates, protecting the pump from dry starts and pump-destroying cavitation.
Many municipalities charge for water coming in as well as sewage. Not only is that

Theory of Operation: Water Production System
The storage tank (11) is a non-pressurized tank of any size. When water is withdrawn from the tank to a point below the low-level fl oat (or pressure switch) (12), the input solenoid (2) is activated by the Reverse Osmosis System Controller (27). When suffi cient input pressure (as displayed on the input pressure gauge (4)) is sensed by the input pressure switch (5), the main pump (6) and motor (7) are energized. Water that has passed through the sediment fi lter (1) then fl ows through the low pressure manifold (3). The pump increases the input water pressure in the membrane (8) to a conservative 100 psi as displayed on the system pressure gauge (21).
The water is split by the membrane into two streams: a pure water stream (permeate) and a waste water stream (concentrate). The pure water stream passes through the product fl ow meter (10) and the TDS monitor (18) and then into the storage tank. (The TDS Meter indicates the purity of the product water going into the tank and aids in determining when the RO membrane may be failing.) The tank will fi ll until water reaches the high-level fl oat (or pressure switch) (13). This will activate the fl ush cycle (covered later) and then shut the pump and motor down.
The concentrate stream is split into two streams in the high pressure manifold (20). One stream goes to drain through the capillary tube fl ow restrictor (22) and concentrate fl ow meter (23). The other stream goes through the pressure regulator (24). The pressure regulator is used to adjust the system operating pressure. The output of the pressure regulator is feed back into the input water supplying the pump.
6
The fl ush cycle, initiated by the high-level fl oat (or pressure switch), opens the concentrate bypass solenoid (25). This allows the concentrated waste water (as well as any hardness or particulates that may have accumulated on the surface of the membrane) to be rapidly fl ushed down the drain. After 45 seconds, the pump and motor will spin down before the input solenoid is turned off, protecting the pump from a starvation / cavitation condition. For the next six minutes, the pure water fl ush pump (9) is activated, fl ooding the membrane with a pure-water bath until the fi ll cycle starts over again.

PSP-2700 : Front Side View
Theory of Operation: Electronic Control System
The Reverse Osmosis System Controller (27) is the grey box on the front of the system. Inside this box is a 24 VAC transformer, a power relay, and a microprocessor-based control board. The transformer provides a safe voltage level for all control system functions. On the front of the controller is the main power switch, system fuse (15 amp, slo-blow), and two LEDs. The green LED blinks at a 1 second rate and indicates proper operation of the control board. The red LED indicates error conditions. Currently, error conditions indicated by the blinking red LED include: 1- fl oat switch faults and, 2- low feed water input pressure.
When water is withdrawn from the tank to a point below the low-level fl oat (or pressure switch) (12) and the carbon fi lter cut-out switch is closed, the input solenoid (2) is activated. When suffi cient feed-water input pressure is sensed by the input pressure switch (5), the control board will activate the power relay which in turn will apply power to the main pump (6) and motor (7). The pump / motor will boost the recirculating system pressure to 100­110 psi.
If, at any time during a fi ll cycle, the input pressure drops enough to de-activate the input pressure switch, the main pump and motor will be powered down. The control board will then attempt two more start sequences. If low input pressure is detected two more times, the system will shut down completely and indicate the condition by the red blinking LED. The controller will need to be powered down and a determination as to the cause of the persistent low pressure condition will have to be made.
13
A normal fi ll cycle will terminate when the water reaches the high-level fl oat (or pressure switch) (13). A fl ush cycle will begin with the input solenoid and main pump continuing to operate while opening the concentrate bypass solenoid (25). The fl ush cycle will terminate after 45 seconds; the bypass solenoid is turned off and the pump and motor will spin down before the input solenoid is turned off, protecting the pump from a starvation / cavitation condition. For the next six minutes, the pure water fl ush pump (9) is activated, fl ooding the
membrane with a pure-water bath until the fi ll cycle starts over again.

The Need for Pre-Treatment:
RO pre-fi ltration should be a combination of sediment ,carbon fi ltration, and water softening The sediment fi lter brings the feed water NTU value to < 1 and the carbon fi lter further reduce the sediment & turbidity levels in your fi lters reducing chlorine, chloramines and VOC levels in the water down to acceptable levels. Because of the high recovery of the pumped RO systems we highly recommend the use of a water softener ahead of the reverse osmosis system. This will greatly increase membrane life and reduce maintenance costs of the RO system.
Preventative Maintenance Standards:
To be able to properly service and maintain RO membrane systems it is important to understand the system history, so the fi rst time a unit is serviced there should be a system history card fi lled out and attached to the machine. Knowing what the settings were after the last service will be very helpful in understanding what is required for service in the future.
PM Requirements - Follow the procedures in this manual and,
15
Quarterly:
Change all pre-fi lters and o-rings

Installation and Setup: (continued)
Water Purifi cation System Start-Up
1. Close shut-off valve ahead of the pre-fi lter.
2. Set the carbon fi lter (red handle) by-pass valve to by-pass position.
3. Turn the black manual regeneration knob (rotate clockwise one click from the service position) on the carbon fi lter control head to the backwash position. Make sure the carbon fi lter is plugged into a 120V outlet. Now slowly turn the red by-pass valve handle located at the back of the carbon service position to bleed air from tank. Do not rapidly open this valve. Leave valve partially open until the air has been bled from the tank. Then fully open the valve.
4. Backwash the carbon fi lter for at least 15 minutes after air has been bled from the tank and until the backwash is clear of black carbon fi nes.
5. Return the carbon fi lter control head back to the service position by rotating the black manual backwash knob clockwise around to the service position.
6.
Set time of day on the control valve on the carbon fi lter by depressing the red button and aligning the 24 hour gear to the current time.
7. On the skipper wheel, pull every third tab outward (i.e. #1, 4, 7 and 10). This will backwash the carbon fi lter every three days.
8.
Open the shut-off valve ahead of the pre-fi lter.
9. With RO system in the OFF position and all plumbing and electrical connections completed, rotate the input solenoid valve lever to manually open the inlet solenoid valve. The word “ON” should be visible.
10. Leave the valve open until air is purged from the system, letting pressure build up to set the low pressure switch.
11. Check feed water connections for any leaks.

12. Shut the valve by turning lever to close the inlet solenoid valve. The word “OFF” should now be visible.
13. At the control panel, turn the valve to the BYPASS position, open all faucets and rinse the store pipes out for 10 minutes. Close all faucets. Return the control panel valve to RUN.
14. Unplug the Delivery Pump so it will not run.
15. Turn the power switch on the control panel to the “ON” position (UP). This will immediately open the inlet solenoid valve. After 5 seconds, the RO pump will turn on. This motor protection circuitry assures a fl ooded inlet to the pump prior to pump start-up; eliminating dry starts which could damage the pump.
16. After a few minutes of operation, use a 1/2” wrench to loosen the nut on the threaded shaft of the pressure relief valve, located beneath the high pressure manifold.
17. Adjust the pressure relief valve to 100 psi by turning the brass handle. Rotate clockwise, when viewed from the bottom, to increase the pressure and counter-clockwise to decrease the pressure.
18. When adjusted to the proper pressure, lock the nut back in place.
19. Check the product water to waste water ratio. It should be approx. 1:1. Note: If not, contact the factory (the fl ow restrictor may require adjustment).
20. Disconnect the line at the top of the Product Flow Meter.
Disconnect the drain line leaving the Tank Overfl ow Filter and temporarily re-connect it to the Product Flow Meter.
