Series PWR4024
Commercial Reverse
Osmosis Systems
Flow Rates: Up to 30 gpm (113 lpm)
Watts Pure Water Series PWR4024 reverse osmosis (RO) systems
are commercial grade high-pressure RO units for the reduction
of total dissolved solids from water. They are designed to supply
reverse osmosis quality water with production rates ranging from
20 to 30 gallons per minute. These units are designed for floor
mount installations. Reverse osmosis is a process where highpressure feed water is fed into a semi-permeable membrane. In
the membrane, pure water is allowed to pass through the membrane material and exit as purified permeate water. Dissolved
mineral salts are not allowed to pass through the membrane and
become a concentrated reject stream that is sent to a drain. These
RO systems use high-pressure/high-rejection membranes to
achieve a minimum average NaCl ionic rejection of 97 percent.
Watts Pure Water Series PWR4024 RO systems are a well
designed, rugged line of purifiers. This series comes with a preselected assortment of features, including our digital controller for
monitoring and operation. Corrosion resistant fiberglass reinforced
plastic (FRP) membrane housings, inlet and outlet pre-filter pressure gauges, low-pressure switch with delayed auto restart, inputs
for tank level and pretreatment interlock, conductivity meter, highconductivity alarm output, adjustable reject recycle, permeate and
reject water flow meters, reject recycle flow meter, permeate water
check valve, inlet diaphragm valve, membrane feed and reject
water pressure gauges, auto flush, and adjustable reject valve,
are all standard features. These systems are designed to feed an
atmospheric storage tank for collection of the reverse osmosis
water. Reverse osmosis water has a wide variety of applications
including municipal water treatment, steam boiler and steam sterilizer make up, laboratory use, spot free rinsing, ice and beverage
water, water for cooking, food processing, metal plating and finishing, as well as water for humidification. Reverse osmosis is also
the pretreatment of choice for ion exchange type de-ionization (DI)
systems. Using RO water as make up to a DI system reduces the
exhaustion rate of the DI resin by up to 95 percent saving time,
money, and chemicals associated with DI resin regeneration.

Specifications
Watts Pure Water Series PWR4024 reverse osmosis system shall
be installed to provide reverse osmosis quality water. The RO
system shall be installed after a Series PWS water softener so that
scale forming calcium and magnesium hardness cannot scale the
RO membrane. Series PWC backwashing carbon filter shall be
installed on the RO feed water line to remove chlorine and prevent
membrane degradation due to chlorine attack. Series PWM backwashing sediment filter shall also be installed on the RO feed water
line to reduce the silt density index of the water to prevent particulate fouling of the RO membrane.
The RO system shall be a high-pressure/high-rejection type unit
complete with permeate and reject water flow meters, reject recycle water flow meter, pre-filter inlet and outlet pressure gauges,
membrane feed and reject water pressure gauges, FRP membrane housings, automatic inlet diaphragm valve, low feed water
pressure switch, reject and recycle valves, digital controller with
conductivity meter and high-conductivity alarm output, storage
tank level and pretreatment interlock inputs, 10 horse power multistage centrifugal high-pressure pump, and all other components
necessary for proper operation. The system shall be a floor mount
design. The RO permeate water shall be collected in an atmospheric storage tank with the tank level controlled by an electronic
level float. The RO shall be equipped with inputs for the tank level
float as well as pretreatment interlock to shut the RO system down
in the event the pretreatment begins a backwash cycle. Electrical
requirements are 230 volt 60 hertz three phase. A local drain is
required to accept drain water from the system. The feed water
pressure must not fall below 20psi. The feed water temperature
must not fall below 35°F or exceed 100°F (2-39°C).
The system shall produce reverse osmosis quality water with 97
percent minimum average ionic rejection of total dissolved solids
when operated within the manufacturer’s operational specifications.
