How Reverse Osmosis Works Reverse Osmosis (RO) is one of the most convenient and effective filtration methods available. Reverse Osmosis membranes can usually remove between 96% and 99% of most contaminants, including salts and minerals, dyes, particles, bacteria and hazardous metals. Simply put it is the process of osmosis backwards.
Please read this entire guide prior to beginning installation. If at any time you need additional advice, please contact us by emailing: helpdesk@ro-man.com. By carefully reading this instruction manual and following the operational guidelines you will ensure a successful installation and reliable operation.
Installing Supply Feed Ÿ Locate the water shut-off valve for the cold water feed line of your mains supply and shut off the water. Ÿ Accidentally hooking up the system to the hot supply line will permanently damage the membrane (See conditions for operation).
Ÿ Tank should come from the factory with 8 to 14 lbs. PSI of air when measured empty. Mounting the Unit Assembly 3 Stage Standard, 4 Stage Standard, 4 Stage Professional Ÿ Mounting the unit is optional. Determine if this is a necessity before proceeding.
Fitting the Membrane/s Ÿ Remove the membrane from packaging. It is important not remove the white sticky tape or the plastic wrapping from around the membrane. Ÿ It is recommended that both the two small black o-rings and the large black O ring are given a VERY light smear of petroleum jelly such as Vaseline to make installation easier.
Fitting the Pipes The Push Fit Connectors are opened by pushing down on the collet ring and pulling the hose at the same time. If you prefer you can use a pair of pliers, a small Collet spanner or any tool that can apply pressure on both side of the quick connect collet.
Fitting the Pipes for Production Red: Feed Water – This goes from the mains connection to the In connection on the system. Green: - Waste Water – This goes from the flow restrictor to the waste saddle if included or to drain( please note this water is Perfectly usable for many purposes).
Flushing the Filters Important: This step is essential to protect the membrane from damage. Ÿ Disconnect the pipe from the filter housing located just before the membrane and temporarily connect a length of pipe to this connector. The other end of the green pipe should be fitted to where the waste water will be discharged.
Flushing the System with the Flush Valve Ÿ ALL RO-MAN systems are fitted with a flush valve. This valve is to extend the life of the membrane. The more often you can put the system in flush mode the better. Daily flushing is ideal but weekly is sufficient.
Conditions for Operation Source Water: Community / Private / Non-Chlorinated / Chlorinated providing the carbon filter is utilised and replaced every 6 months or every the recommended output, whichever comes first. SYSTEM PRESSURE (PRE-FILTRATION) 0 – 80 PSI MEMBRANE PRESSURE RANGE 40 –...
Membrane Performance Performance of the reverse osmosis membrane element is affected by two key factors, temperature of the feed water and the net driving pressure across the element. These two factors must be taken into account before comparing or evaluating the performance of the membrane element of a reverse osmosis system. The higher the temperature will provide more the product flow and a lower temperature will provide less product flow.
About Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) are the total amount of mobile charged ions, including minerals, salts or met- als dissolved in a given volume of water. These are expressed in units of MG per unit volume of water (MG/L) and can also be referred to as parts per million (PPM).
Solution: You may have a loose O Ring. Take the housing off and make sure they are properly aligned. If the housing is not tight enough then tighten this further. If you need advice, please contact us on 01823698813 or email us: helpdesk@ro-man.com...
