Page 4: Introduction
INTRODUCTION Your ELC – Series Reverse Osmosis System is a durable piece of equipment which, with proper care, will last for many years. This User Manual outlines installation, operation, maintenance and troubleshooting details vital to the sustained performance of your system. -
Page 5: Safety
SAFETY The Safety section of this User Manual outlines the various safety headings used throughout this manual’s text and are enhanced and defined below: INDICATES STATEMENTS THAT ARE USED TO IDENTIFY CONDITIONS OR PRACTICES THAT COULD RESULT IN EQUIPMENT OR OTHER PROPERTY DAMAGE. -
Page 6: Feedwater And Operation Specifications
FEEDWATER AND OPERATION SPECIFICATIONS Nothing has a greater effect on a reverse osmosis system than the feedwater quality. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO MEET THE MINIMUM FEEDWATER REQUIREMENTS. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL CAUSE THE MEMBRANES TO FOUL AND VOID THE MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY. -
Page 7: Rejection, Recovery And Flow Rates
REJECTION, RECOVERY AND FLOW RATES LC – Series Reverse Osmosis Systems are designed to produce permeate water at the capacities indicated by the suffix in the system’s name under the conditions listed above. For example, the ELC – 750 system produces 750 gallons per day of permeate water at the listed operating test conditions. -
Page 8: System Requirements And Operation Guidelines
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS AND OPERATION GUIDELINES PLUMBING The membranes and high pressure pumps used on ELC – Series systems require a continuous flow of water with a minimum feed pressure of 40 psi, not to exceed 60 psi. FEEDWATER CONNECTION 1. Locate the 1/2” quick connect tube fitting labeled “feed” on the left side of the frame. 2. -
Page 9: Electrical
ELECTRICAL The motor used on the ELC is available in 110 VAC 60 Hertz 1 Phase. Each ELC – Series system is equipped with an eight–foot electrical cord with a three pronged electrical plug. Ensure that the electrical circuit supplying the system is compatible with the requirements of the specific ELC –... -

Page 13: Membrane Installation, Removal And Replacement
MEMBRANE INSTALLATION, REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT Installation and replacing membranes in the pressure vessels is an easy process if you have the proper information and tools at hand. Please refer to the following instructions when removing and replacing membrane elements: ALL PRESSURE GAUGES MUST READ ZERO BEFORE PROCEEDING. BEFORE ATTEMPTING, DISCONNECT THE POWER FROM THE SYSTEM AND BLEED ALL WATER PRESSURE FROM THE SYSTEM. - Page 14 REPLACING THE MEMBRANE ELEMENT: THE BRINE SEAL MUST BE IN THE CORRECT POSITION FOR EACH MEMBRANE ELEMENT HOUSING. THE BRINE SEAL IS A RUBBER SEAL THAT PROTRUDES ON ONE SIDE OF THE MEMBRANE AND IS ALWAYS ON THE FEED SIDE OF THE MEMBRANE ELEMENT.

Page 17: Initial Start-Up
INITIAL START–UP Carefully inspect your system before initial start–up. Check that all plumbing and electrical connections are not loose or have not come undone during shipment. Direct the permeate water line to drain for this procedure. 1. Fully open the concentrate valve by turning it counter–clockwise. (#12, Figure 1, Page 11) 2. -

Page 21: Operation And Maintenance
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE The reverse osmosis process causes the concentration of impurities. The impurities may precipitate (come out of solution) when their concentration reaches saturation levels. PRECIPITATION CAN SCALE OR FOUL MEMBRANES AND MUST BE PREVENTED. Check your feedwater chemistry and pre–treat the water and/or reduce the system’s recovery as required. -
Page 22: Flushing The System
FLUSHING THE SYSTEM The system should be flushed weekly to remove sediment from the surface of the membranes. To manually flush the system, follow these steps: 1. The system must be operating during the flush procedure. 2. Fully open the concentrate valve by turning it counter–clockwise. (#12, Figure 1, Page 11) 3. -
Page 23: Preparing Unit For Storage And Shipment
PREPARING UNIT FOR STORAGE OR SHIPMENT Prior to shipping or storing your system, the system should be cleaned with an appropriate cleaner, flushed with water and protected from biological attack with an appropriate solution for membrane elements. The membrane housing(s) and plumbing lines of the system must be completely drained. -

TROUBLESHOOTING SYMPTOMS POSSIBLE CAUSES CORRECTIVE ACTION Low supply pressure Increase inlet pressure Cartridge filters plugged Change filters Low Inlet Pressure Solenoid valve malfunction Replace solenoid valve and/or coil Leaks Fix any visible leaks Low inlet flow Adjust concentrate valve Cold feedwater See temperature correction sheet Low Permeate Flow Low operating pressure... - Page 25 ABNORMAL PERMEATE FLOW Permeate flow should be within 20% of the rated production, after correcting the feedwater temperatures above or below 77°F. Check the permeate flow meter to determine the permeate flow rate. TO DETERMINE THE TEMPERATURE CORRECTION FACTOR, LOCATE THE TEMPERATURE CORRECTION TABLE IN THIS USER MANUAL AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS.

Page 27: Temperature Correction Factors For Membrane
TEMPERATURE CORRECTION FACTORS FOR MEMBRANE Find the temperature correction factor (TCF) from the table below. Divide the rated permeate flow at 77°F by the temperature correction factor. The result is the permeate flow at the desired temperature. (See example on the next page.) ELC –... -
Page 28: Service Assistance
If a system is rated to produce 5 gpm of permeate water at 77°F, the same system will produce more water at a higher temperature. It will also produce less water at a lower temperature. Use the temperature correction table to obtain the correct flow. Example: 5 gpm at 59˚F (5 ÷... -
