Setup Instructions 

1.

 

Find the location. 

Decide where you would like to place the system. Allow at 
least 45 inches above the unit for membrane removal and 
loading. If the height is not available, allow at least 25 
inches to the front of the unit for the removal of the entire 
membrane housing.  

The unit will also need to be installed near a 

120/240 VAC

60/50Hz power supply (Range: 90-145 VAC at 120VAC 
setting, 180-290 VAC at 240 VAC setting). 

2.

 

Install Float Switch (or other operation control) 

If the system uses a holding tank, a float switch must be installed to control the system’s production.

 

Install the float switch in the holding tank and connect the switch to the correct terminals on the control 
(Check the Terminal Board Diagram). 

 

3.

 

Plumb in the system. 

Follow All Local Codes 

a.

 

Verify inlet water source meets requirements on page 4. 

b.

 

Turn off water from the supply water and make sure there is no pressure from the supply. 

c.

 

Plumb the water source to the 

¾” FPT

 

inlet (“Supply In”)

.  

d.

 

Plumb the ½” MPT Permeate Outlet to 

its endpoint (this will contain product water) 

e.

 

Plumb the ½” MPT Concentrate Outlet to its endpoint (this will contain 

concentrate water) 

f.

 

Either the concentrate or permeate outlet must not be plumbed to a pressurized line. If both outlets 
are pressurized, the system will not prime properly.  

4.

 

Prime the system. 

Turn on water from the supply and re-pressurize the incoming water line. 
Use the relief valves to help relieve any air pressure that may have built up in 
the water line. Once water begins coming out of the pressure relief valve, 
the system may be turned on. The control will automatically prime the 
pump.  

5.

 

Start up. 

Most, if not all, of the programming will be set for the individual application 
during production. Plug the controller in and verify that the system has been 
programmed correctly and press System On/Off to turn on the system. During startup, the system will 
automatically prime the pump and begin operation after 15 seconds.
