Q: What other contaminants does reverse osmosis remove?
The combined filtering and RO processes in your system will remove more than 98% of many
organic compounds, including THMs (chloroforms), DBCP, lindane, TCE (trichloroethylene), PCE
(tetrachloroethylene), carbon tetrachloride and chlorine. Very conservatively, a TFC membrane will
remove the following percentages of contaminants:
Barium
97% Fluoride
90% Radium
97% Sulfates
97%
Bicarbonate 94% Lead
97% Selenium 97%
Total Dissolved
Solids
97%
Cadmium
97% Magnesium 97% Silicates
96% PCBs
97%
Calcium
97% Nickel
97% Silver
85% Insecticides
97%
Chromium
92% Nitrates
80% Sodium
92% Herbicides
97%
Copper
97% Potassium
92% Strontium 97% Detergents
97%
Q: Where is the system installed?
Each application will require access to the feed water source, electrical power and a drain for the
wastewater to be routed to. The system should be protected from the elements and at all times
protected from freezing. If the system is used to provide water to a critical piece of equipment, you
may consider protection from power surges and lightning strikes.
Q: Can the VectaMaxx™ RSR system be connected multiple appliances?
Yes. Many installations will involve providing water to multiple appliances or pieces of equipment
simultaneously. Make sure that the peak usage of water for the combined equipment does not
exceed the output of your RO system or its product water storage. See your dealer for advice and
parts
.
Q: What factors affect the quantity and the quality of the water produced?
1. Pressure: The greater the RO system pressure, the greater the water quantity that will be produced
by the membrane. Your VectaMaxx™ RSR unit has been equipped with ultra- low energy
membrane(s) that are designed to operate at a minimum system pressure of 100 psi. (7.0 kg/cm²)
and a maximum of 130 psi (9.0 kg/cm²) for models 1200 and 2400, do not attempt to operate your
system at pressures exceeding 150 psi, as damage to the membrane or premature fouling may
result.
2. Temperature: Production increases with temperature, standard ratings established at 25°C. Never
operate the system from the hot water line or with water exceeding 40°C, as this will damage the
membrane and internal components.
3. Membrane type: VectaMaxx™ RSR systems use premium quality TFC (Thin Film Composite)
membranes, specially chosen for general commercial applications. Please contact your dealer or
Waterite for information on special application or nanofiltration membranes.
4. TDS: The higher the Total Dissolved Solids in the raw water, the lower the rate of output of product
water.
