Section 1. Frequently Asked Questions Before getting started, take the time to familiarize yourself with your new Waterite system by reading some FAQs listed below. Call us or ask your dealer if you have any other questions about your system’s operation.

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.
Q: Can the amount of total water produced be increased? Once the system has been set for optimal operation, the overall water available for consumption over a set period of time will be increased by increasing the storage capacity. This will increase the time available for the unit to produce water in off-peak hours (instead of standing idle), and more storage capacity to be available in peak hours when water usage may exceed production capacity, for short intervals.

combination softener (for iron concentrations < 2 ppm); otherwise premature membrane and system equipment failure through iron deposit fouling will result. Manganese: Manganese is a commonly occurring mineral found in ground water. Manganese will √ leave black, scaly deposits and will eventually foul membranes in concentrations greater than .05 ppm.

√ Turbidity: This is the term to describe suspended particulate in the raw water. Turbidity is treated by the sediment cartridges that your RO system has been equipped with. Reduction of turbidity is necessary to avoid fouling your membrane and damaging your drive pump. Make sure that your prefilters are changed regularly and that quality Excelpure 5-micron cartridges are used as replacements.

ALSO APPLIES TO NEW RESIN BED INSTALLATIONS. COLOUR THROW FROM NEW RESIN BEDS MAY DAMAGE OR FOUL RO MEMBRANES. WATERITE DOES NOT RECOMMEND THE USE OF A GRANULAR/BLOCK CARBON CARTRIDGE IN THE PRE-TREATMENT FILTER HOUSINGS SUPPLIED, FOR THE PRIMARY REDUCTION OF CHLORINE.
This will ensure that backpressure from the tank will not damage the membrane(s). To eliminate this problem, install the bulkhead fitting above the level switch. Consult your Waterite Commercial RO Systems Price List for information and availability on a wide variety of water system components including storage tanks, repressurization pumps, bulkheads, tube, pipe, pressure switches, fittings, UV disinfection systems and float valves.

2. Remove the wrapping from the membrane element(s). Lightly lubricate the membrane brine seal and all o-rings located in the membrane housing caps with a good quality, silicone o-ring lubricant (do not use petroleum-based lubricants). Disconnect the connections on the membrane housing’s top end cap.

4. Make sure the feed water source is a reliable one and will constantly deliver feed water between 40 psi and 80 psi maximum. Your RO system has been equipped with an low pressure shut-off, In the event that the line pressure to your RO inlet falls below 20 psi., this switch will open breaking the electrical connection.
Step 9. Complete the Electrical Connection VectaPure RSX II systems operate using a 120V 15A service and a grounded receptacle. Insure that the power source is rated to the necessary amperage (see page 8) and that the connection meets the local electrical code.

Low Pressure Shut Off Switch Inlet Solenoid Recirculation Valve Figure 5 5. Next, begin to close the recirculation valve slowly until the operating pressure gauge registers 150 psi (10.3 bar). The system is designed to normally operate at 130 psi. At this pressure, the proper waste/production ratio is established.
This will allow you to see any developing performance trends or alert you to system changes that will require you to intervene. It will also be helpful for your dealer or Waterite technical personnel to have this information available to help troubleshoot your system, should it become necessary.
