Page 11: Initial Start-Up
New System Startup and Testing (Purging storage chemicals) Use this procedure when starting a new system for the first time, when the last known state of the system is unknown, or whenever the system contains Preservative or cleaning chemicals. Warning! Damage will occur if the purge sequence is bypassed and the membrane is pressurized with storage chemical in it. - Page 12 New System Startup and Testing, cont... 4. Check again that air is purged from filters (buttons on top of filter housings). 5. Confirm there is water flowing from the brine discharge and Carefully inspect for leaks over the entire system! Shut down the system and repair any leaks you find.

Page 13: Normal Operation
Normal Operation If the system is not running and you do not know how it was shut down it is best to assume it needs to be purged. Running the system on feed water with the pressure relief valve for 20-30 minutes will clear the system of anything that would harm the membranes. -
Page 14: Maintenance
Maintenance General Periodically inspect the entire system for leaks and chafe on the tubing and hoses. Repair any leaks as soon as possible. Check for corrosion around the fittings. If any rust appears, remove, clean, and reassemble the fitting. Rust is a sign of crevice corrosion inside the fitting and must be dealt with promptly. -
