III. Operation

A. Installation

  1.   The water supply should be sufficient to provide a minimum of 

20 psig pressure at the design feed flow.

  2.   Proper pretreatment must be determined and installed prior to 

the RO system.

  3.   A fused high voltage disconnect switch located within 10 feet of 

the unit is recommended. This disconnect is not provided with 

the RO system.

  4.   Responsibility for meeting local electrical and plumbing codes 

lies with the owner /operator.

  5.   Install indoors in an area protected from freezing. Space al-

lowances for the removal of the membranes from the pressure 

vessels should be provided. This system requires 42" minimum 

clear space on each side.

B. Plumbing Connections

  1.   Connect the pretreated feed water line to the inlet side of the 

prefilter housing. (Figure # 1 item # 1) A feed water shutoff valve 

should be located within 10 feet of the system.

  2.   Temporarily connect the outlet of the product water flow meter 

to drain. (Figure # 1 item # 2) The product water line should 

never be restricted. Membrane and/or system damage may oc-

cur if the product line is blocked.

  3.   Connect the outlet of the reject water flow meter to a drain. (Fig-

ure # 1 item # 3) The reject drain line should never be restricted. 

Membrane and/or system damage may occur if the reject drain 

line is blocked. An air gap must be located between the end 

of the drain line and the drain. The use of a standpipe or other 

open drain satisfies most state and local codes and allows for 

visual inspection and sampling.

C. Electrical Connections

  1.   A safety switch or fused disconnect should be installed within 10 

feet of the system.

  2.   Verify that the disconnect switch is de-energized using a  

voltmeter.

  3.   Connect the outlet of the disconnect switch to the terminals on 

top of the motor starter (Figure # 2). Attach the power supply 

ground to the chassis ground. It may be necessary to drill a hole 

in the enclosure and install a water tight strain relief or conduit 

connector. The hole size and location must be determined by 

the installer. Check the pump motor nameplate for the amper-

age draw at various voltages to determine the wire size required.

  4.   Do not apply power to the RO unit at this time.

D. Startup

  1.   Verify that the pretreatment equipment is installed and working 

properly. Verify that no free chlorine is present in the feed water.

  2.   Verify that the pump discharge valve (Figure # 1 item D) is open.
  3.   Install a 20" five micron filter cartridge in the prefilter housing. 

(Figure #1 item K)

  4.   Open the reject control valve completely (Figure # 1 item B) by 

turning it counterclockwise. Close the reject recycle control valve 

completely (Figure # 1 item C) by turning it clockwise.

  5.   Open the feed water shutoff valve installed in step III-B-1 above.
  6.   Manually open the inlet solenoid valve (figure #1 item L) by  

turning the white lever located near the valve outlet.

  7.   Water will flow through the system and to drain through the 

reject flow meter (figure # 1 item H).

  8.   Manually close the inlet solenoid valve after the air has been 

purged from the system, or after 10 minutes, whichever  

occurs first.

  9.   Close the pump discharge valve half way. (Figure # 1 item D)
10.    Engage the safety switch or disconnect (installed in step III-C-1 

above) to apply electrical power to the RO system.

11.    Press the on/off button on the controller.  When the pump starts, 

press and hold the on/off  button to turn off the pump and  look 

at the motor fan as the pump stops to determine if the pump ro-

tation is correct. See the controller section for more details. The 

fan should rotate in the direction of the rotation arrow located 

on the pump. Continue with the startup if the pump is rotating in 

the proper direction. If the pump is rotating backwards, change 

the rotation by disconnecting the power and reversing any two 

of the wires on the power inlet. Verify proper pump rotation  

before continuing.

12. Turn the system on.
13.    Adjust the reject control valve(s) (figure # 1 items B & C) and 

the pump discharge valve (Figure # 1 item D) until the desired 

flows are achieved. Closing the reject valve increases the 

product flow and decreases the reject flow. Opening the pump 

discharge valve increases both the reject flow and the product 

flow. See the flow rate guidelines and temperature correction 

table in the appendix to determine the flow rates for different 

operating temperatures.

14.    Allow the product water to flow to drain for 30 minutes.
15.    Turn off the system and connect the product line to the point of 

use. (Figure # 1 item # I) The product water line should never be 

restricted. Membrane and/or system damage may occur if the 

product line is blocked.

16.    Restart the system and record the initial operating data using the 

log sheet in the next section.

See the controller section of this manual for more installation 
and operation information.
