ROTEK KSRO Series RO systems are specifically designed for commercial and industrial-sized RO systems. It is designed with a fixed recovery rate of 60-65% by using ROTEK extra-large flow RO membranes that can produce 4000~6000GPD (650~1000LPH) of permeate water flow, which means it can produce more pure water at less cost.
Recovery Rate = (Permeate Flow / Permeate Flow + Discharged Flush Flow) * Permeate Flow Rate is calculated based on Rotek XL-4040 membranes. It is also possible to use other brands of membranes with KSRO units, but the flow rate may vary.

Raw Water (Feed Water) Requirements Raw water quality, pressures, and flow rates have a significant impact on the performance of any reverse osmosis system. To ensure reliable and consistent long-term performance, it is important to supply feed water having the minimum specifications detailed below. If your raw water supply is marginal, you should consider using a raw water break tank and booster pump to supply the system.
Please make sure that the quality of your raw water meets the aforementioned KSRO raw water requirements, otherwise, it is recommended to install pre-treatment equipment. You can install it by yourself, or suggest using ROTEK’s existing standard pretreatment module, of course, it can also be customized according to your raw water conditions.
▋Installation Notes ▲WARNING▲ All electrical work should be performed by a licensed electrician in compliance with all relevant electrical safety regulations. All piping works shall be performed by licensed plumbers and comply with relevant water supply and drainage piping regulations. Installation Notes Before installation, ensure that the power supply matches the power requirements of the system.

Step 3 Connect a sufficient length of 1/2" diameter hose to Pure Water the fitting marked "Pure Water" on the rear of the panel. Outlet Connect this hose to a pure water (permeated water) storage tank, to your faucet, or to any other device you need to provide pure RO water.
▋System Startup & Operation System Operation Notes 1. Ensure that incoming water pressure is a minimum of 35kPa (5psi). 2. Check that your incoming water supply flow rate is sufficient for your particular model 3. Check that the available power supply matches your unit requirements. 4.

The pressure at the raw water inlet end is insufficient, or the inlet pipe is too small.

How to Change the RO-4040 Membrane No.13 Wrench (Recommended about 1 year. Lifespan varies based on quality of incoming water.) NOTE! Make sure you have shut down the KSRO System, the Feed Water Adapter Valve, Water Supply, and the Tank Valve [if you are using a tank] 1.
▋RO Membrane Cleaning (Recommended about every 6 months to 1 year. Periodic cleaning of the membrane(s) can improve system performance. In normal operation, mineral scale, biological matter, colloidal particles, and organic substances can foul the membranes and reduce performance. The best prevention is to use a well-designed pre-treatment system incorporating efficient sediment removal, de-chlorination (if chlorine-based sanitisers are present), and softening or chemical dosing for the removal of scale forming minerals.

2. Low-flow rate pumping. Pump mixed, preheated cleaning solution into the housing at a low flow rate of 5-10 litres per minute at low pressure (<120kPa) to displace the process water. Use only enough pressure to compensate for the pressure drop from feed to concentrate. The pressure should be low enough so that little to no permeate is produced.

▋FAQ’s Do you need a tank? No, you can directly use water as the KSRO system produces it, however, for immediacy you may wish to use a tank as this will increase your supply of instantly available water. Does this system filter Fluoride, Lead, Pharmaceuticals, and Arsenic? Yes, as well as Cyanide, Phosphate, Pesticides, Sodium, Cadmium, Sulfates, and many other contaminants up to certain levels.
▋Vacation Mode When you plan to not use your KSRO System for 2 weeks to 1 month it should be Turned Off. Turn Off System: Turn off the Power of KSRO. Turn On System: Turn On the Power of KSRO. For deactivation of 1 month or more: 1.
