4.0 Once the pump is primed, connect the power plug to the electrical source. The system will start in
the ON position. Let the system operate for about 5 minutes with the valve fully open. The system
is now flushing and clearing any dust or debris from the lines. There should be little or no water
production from the machine during this process. All water, including permeate, should be
discarded and sent to drain.

5.0 The system is designed to normally operate at 130 psi. At this pressure, the proper
waste/production ratio is established. Next, begin to close the recirculation valve slowly until the
operating pressure gauge registers 130 psi (9.1 bar).
DO NOT ALLOW THE SYSTEM TO
OPERATE IN EXCESS OF 150 PSI AS MEMBRANE AND SYSTEM DAMAGE MAY RESULT.
You may wish to lock the valve in the proper position by removing the handle to discourage
tampering. Your system is now set up to operate at its design settings.
6.0 A Note on Recovery Rates
Your VectaMaxx™ RSR is designed to operate at a recovery rate (percentage of product water to
total water used) at maximum of 60% for feed water of <1000 TDS and 35-40% for feed water with
TDS ranging from 1000 to 1500.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THE SYSTEM AT HIGHER
RECOVERY RATES, AS THIS WILL CAUSE PREMATURE MEMBRANE FAILURE OR
INTERNAL SCALING AND EQUIPMENT FAILURE.
!
YOUR MEMBRANES MAY HAVE BEEN SHIPPED WITH AN ANTI-BACTERIAL
PRESERVATIVE. OPERATE THE SYSTEM FOR 1 HOUR AT DESIGN SETTINGS BEFORE
BRINGING THE SYSTEM ONLINE TO ASSURE MEMBRANE HAS BEEN COMPLETELY
FLUSHED. DO NOT USE WATER PRODUCED DURING THIS RUN-IN PERIOD.
