Note: 1) The RO cartridge must be inserted into the 2nd, 3rd, or 4 th position on the RO manifold. 2) If only three cartridges are to be inserted into the manifold, the bypass plug cartridg[...]

10 component of feed water will plug a membrane over time. Use of a softener will reduce the fouling effect on a membrane. One way to detect too much hardness in the feed water is the weight of a membrane installed for a period of time. A fouled membrane (dried) will weigh significantly more than a new membrane. The increase in weight is a result o[...]

Chapter Heading 11 To keep the Aqua-Cleer® system operating properly, it is necessary to change the filters and sanitize the system periodically. Typically, this should be done on an annual basis. Service frequency may vary depending on local water conditions. High sediment, chlorine, turbidity, or hardness levels may require more frequent service[...]

12 Preliminary Steps: 1. Check for any leaks that may exist from tubing connections or the faucet. 2. Check for flow to the drain. If flowing, close tank shut-off so you can check auto shut-off operation 3. Test and record product TDS from faucet. Also observe if faucet stem is stiff to move. 4. Test and record feed TDS, and then calculate rejectio[...]

54 Arsenic Fact Sheet Arsenic (abbreviated As) is found naturally in some well water. Arsenic in water has no color, taste or odor. It must be measured by a lab test. Public water utilities must have their water tested for arsenic. You can get the results from your water utility. If you have your own well, you can have the water tested. The local h[...]

55 Arsenic Fact Sheet (con’t) Arsenic (As) is a naturally occurring contaminant found in many ground waters. It generally occurs in two forms (valences or oxidation states): pentavalent arsenic (also known as As(V), As(+5), and arsenate) and trivalent arsenic (also known as As(III), As(+3), and arsenite). In natural ground water, arsenic may exis[...]
