New System Startup and Testing, cont...
4. Check again that air is purged from filters (buttons on top of filter housings).
5.
Confirm there is water flowing from the brine discharge and
Carefully inspect for
leaks over the entire system!
Shut down the system and repair any leaks you
find.
6.
Allow the system to complete a 30 to 60 minute purge cycle to insure all chemicals
are eliminated from system (longer is always better).
7.
After the purge cycle is complete, stop the system. Re-start by pressing the run
button holding it down until the pump comes up to speed. Be sure the fed pump is
running and adjust the speed if necessary so there is 20 psi showing on the feed
pressure gauge
.
8.
Close the brine discharge valve slightly so the gauge shows 20 psi (absolute) of
back pressure. A small amount of back pressure is necessary to allow the pump to
operate at peak performance.
9. Close the pressure relief valve.
11. Allow the system to run for an hour or so while you check for leaks.
Note that knocking in the system indicated either incorrect feed pressure or
suction on the brine discharge. If the brine discharge gauge is reading less than
15 psig** or the feed pressure is less than 20 psi then an adjustment is required.
** This is an absolute pressure gauge that should be reading atmospheric
pressure of ≈ 15psig when the system is off.
Log Book
It is highly recommended you keep an accurate daily log (or at least weekly) of the
operating conditions. If any of the parameters change it may indicate that chemical
treatments or mechanical repairs are required. This is one of the best tools available
for troubleshooting any problems in the future.
An increase in membrane pressure may indicate membrane fouling.
A decrease in product water quality (higher ppm) may indicate membrane damage.
A decrease in product water production may indicate Pearson pump damage or
wear.
