  • Page 5: Introduction

    INTRODUCTION Your ELP–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. If your system is altered at the site of operation, or if the feedwater conditions change, please contact your local dealer or distributor to determine the proper recovery for your application.
  • Page 6: Safety And Precautions

    SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS The Safety section of this User Manual outlines the various safety headings used throughout this manual’s text and are enhanced and defined below: CAUTION: INDICATES STATEMENTS THAT USED IDENTIFY CONDITIONS OR PRACTICES THAT COULD RESULT IN EQUIPMENT OR OTHER PROPERTY DAMAGE.
  • Page 7 SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS NEVER ALLOW THE UNIT TO FREEZE OR OPERATE WITH A FEEDWATER TEMPERATURE ABOVE 85°F. DO NOT PERMIT CHLORINE TO BE PRESENT IN THE FEED WATER. DO NOT SHUT DOWN THE SYSTEM FOR EXTENDED PERIODS. IT IS BEST TO RUN THE SYSTEM AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS.
  • Page 8: Operating Do's And Don'ts

    OPERATING DO’S AND DON’TS • Change the cartridge filters regularly. • Monitor the system and keep a daily log. • Run the system as much as possible on a continuous basis. • Adjust the system recovery to the recommended value. •...
  • Page 9: Feed Water And Operation Specification

    FEED WATER AND OPERATION SPECIFICATIONS Nothing has a greater effect on a reverse osmosis system than the feed water quality. If your system is altered at the site of operation or if the feed water conditions change, please contact your local dealer or distributor to determine the proper recovery for your application. Before starting the RO system it is strongly suggested to obtain an up to date water analysis of the water to be treated.

  • Page 15 COMPONENT IDENTIFICATION DESCRIPTION PRE–FILTRATION ELP–Series systems are supplied with a 5–micron sediment filter and a 10 micron carbon block filter. Change the cartridge once a month or when a 10– 15 psi differential exists between the two pre–filter gauges. MEMBRANE The TE–3012 RO membrane utilizes advanced manufacturing processes of the industry’s leading film technology allows these elements to deliver consistent results that equipment suppliers and water treatment dealers have come to...
  • Page 16: Membrane Information

    MEMBRANE INFORMATION The ELP–Series Reverse Osmosis Systems are equipped with AXEON TE–Series Membrane Elements. TE–Series Residential Membrane Elements are recognized as one of the industry’s most reliable and highest performing membrane elements that deliver consistent quality and performance. General membrane element performance characteristics are listed below.
  • Page 17 The claims made may not have been approved for use in all countries. The manufacturer assumes no obligation or liability for the information in this document. AXEON reserves the right to update this information periodically for the purposes of quality and accuracy. NO WARRANTIES ARE GIVEN; ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE A RE EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED.
  • Page 18: Membrane Performance

    MEMBRANE PERFORMANCE ELP–Series Reverse Osmosis Systems are designed to produce up to 700 GPD at 77°F (nominal) of permeate water per membrane at 98% rejection under the proper conditions. For example, the ELP– 700 produces 700 gallons per day of permeate water at the listed operating test conditions. REJECTION The amount of total dissolved solids (TDS) rejected by the membrane is expressed as a percentage.
  • Page 19: System Installation

    SYSTEM INSTALLATION MOUNTING The free standing system should be bolted down or securely fastened in compliance with local regulation standards. The system comes standard with a rubber bumper kit. PLUMBING The membranes and high pressure pumps used on ELP–500 systems require a continuous flow of water with a minimum feed pressure of 45 psi.
  • Page 20: Holding Tank Connection

    SYSTEM INSTALLATION FEED CONCENTRATE DO NOT OPERATE AT A PRESSURE EXCEEDING 100 PSI. Note: The ELP–500 system has been designed with an auto–flush restrictor. This restrictor automatically flushes the reverse osmosis system for 15–20 seconds every time it starts up and once every hour when the system is producing water.
  • Page 21: Permeate Connection

    SYSTEM INSTALLATION PERMEATE CONNECTION Connect 3/8” tubing from the 3/8” QC bulkhead labeled “PERMEATE” to the final point–of– use (i.e. faucet). Ensure that the permeate water can flow freely with no backpressure. Backpressure can cause irreversible damage to the membrane elements. HOLDING TANK PERMEATE THE PH OF THE PERMEATE WATER WILL TYPICALLY BE 1 OR 2 PH UNITS LOWER THAN...
  • Page 22: Membrane Installation

    MEMBRANE INSTALLATION 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 24: Membrane Replacement

    MEMBRANE REPLACEMENT REPLACING THE MEMBRANE ELEMENT: THE BRINE SEAL MUST BE IN THE CORRECT POSITION FOR EACH PRESSURE VESSEL. THE BRINE SEAL IS A RUBBER SEAL THAT PROTRUDES ON ONE SIDE OF THE MEMBRANE. FOR ELP–SERIES REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEMS THE BRINE SEAL SHOULD BE ON THE SAME SIDE AS THE PRESSURE VESSEL END CAP.
  • Page 25: System Purging / Initial Start Up

    SYSTEM PURGING / INITIAL START UP ELP–350 AND ELP–700 SYSTEMS Direct the permeate water line to drain. 1. Turn feed source on with a recommended water pressure of 70–90 psi. 2. Run system while permeate and concentrate lines feed to the drain for 30 minutes to flush out preservative and any trapped air.
  • Page 26: Temperature Factor For Membranes

    TEMPERATURE FACTOR FOR MEMBRANES A membrane’s stated permeate production rate is based on a water temperature of 77°F degrees Fahrenheit. Temperatures above or below 77°F will increase or decrease the membrane’s production rate. Find the temperature correction factor (TCF) for your water temperature on the table located on the next page.
