IOM-WQ-PWR4021 Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Commercial Reverse Osmosis Systems Series PWR4021 Series PWR4021 WARNING Please read carefully before proceeding with installation. Your failure to follow any attached instructions or operating parameters may lead to the product’s failure. Keep this Manual for future reference.
Electrical Schematics ........31 this system. Notes Changes in operating variables are beyond the control of Watts. The end user is responsible for the safe operation of this equipment. The suitability of the product water for any specific application is the responsibility of the end user.
I. Introduction The separation of dissolved solids and water using RO membranes is a pressure driven temperature dependent process. The membrane material is designed to be as permeable to water as possible while maintaining the ability to reject dissolved solids. The main system design parameters require the following: •...
C. Pretreatment The RO feed water must be pretreated in order to prevent mem- brane damage and/or fouling. Proper pretreatment is essential for reliable operation of any RO system. Pretreatment requirements vary depending on the nature of the feed water. Pretreatment equipment is sold separately. The most common forms of pretreatment are described below.
II. Controls, Indicators, and Components (See Figure 1) A. Controller - Controls the operation of the system and displays Product Flow Meter - Indicates the product flow rate in gallons the product water quality. per minute (gpm). Reject Recycle Flow Meter – Indicates the reject recycle flow B.
III. Operation D. Startup 1. Verify that the pretreatment equipment is installed and working properly. Verify that no free chlorine is present in the feed water. A. Installation 2. Verify that the pump discharge valve (Figure # 1 item D) is open. 1.

NOTICE It is very important to vent the mechanical seal during startup. Failure to vent the seal may result in premature seal failure. Vented Priming Plug Back off needle valve to vent air. Retighten to 25 in.-lbs. when vent port runs a steady stream of water.
E. Controllers The controller for this system is the ROC-4 controller. This is a microprocessor-based controller with a product water conductivity meter. A separate manual for this controller begins on the next page. Reverse Osmosis Controller Operations and Maintenance Model #R23-ROC-4 TABLE 1.

APPENDIX A. CONTROLLER PROGRAMMING: PARAMETERS EXPLAINED Parameter Value Range Example Input Switch Behaviors Tank Level Switch de-Bounce Seconds 2.0 This specifies the time that the tank switch must be closed or open before the controller accepts it as a valid condition. This helps to prevent nuisance tripping of the RO especially in small or turbulent tanks ...

Controller Fault Condition Displays Below are examples and explanations of the displays which accompany the fault conditions possible in the ROC-4. Fault conditions always indicated a problem of some sort which requires corrective action. The displays provide sufficient information to recognize the source of the fault and the required corrective action.
