Feed Water Requirements 

1.

 

Plumbing feeding the element must be at least ¾” in diameter.

 

2.

 

Filtered water must be used on the membrane

. The element has a 5 micron filter to remove 

particles and will drastically extend the life of the membrane. Changing these filters every 
month is recommended to extend the life of the membrane. Follow instructions on page 10 to 
change filters.

Alternate Replacement 5 Micron Filter 

 

3.

 

Soft Water is recommended.

 Excessive water hardness or iron concentrations may form scale 

over the membrane and cause clogging. This will drastically reduce the useful life of the 
membrane. Installing a water softener before each system to reduce hardness and iron is 
recommended.  

4.

 

Anti-Scalent recommended.

 Slightly soluble contaminants like calcium sulfate, silica, or colloidal 

clay will cause clogging. A continuous injection of an anti-scalent should be used if these 
contaminants are present.
