Page 2: Section 1. Frequently Asked Questions
Section 1. Frequently Asked Questions Before getting started, take the time to familiarize yourself with your new Waterite system by reading some FAQs listed below. Call us or ask your dealer if you have any other questions about your system’s operation. - Page 3 3. Membrane type: Vectapure™ RSXII Lite systems use premium quality TFC (Thin Film Composite) membranes, specially chosen for general, light commercial applications. Please contact your dealer or Waterite for information on special application or nanofiltration membranes. 4. TDS: The higher the Total Dissolved Solids in the raw water, the lower the rate of output of product water.

Page 4: Section 2. Designing Your Installation
Q: Can the amount of total water produced be increased? Once the system has been set for optimal operation, the overall water available for consumption over a set period of time will be increased by increasing the storage capacity. This will increase the time available for the unit to produce water in off-peak hours (instead of standing idle), and more storage capacity to be available in peak hours when water usage may exceed production capacity, for short intervals. - Page 5 Manganese: Manganese is a commonly occurring mineral found in ground water. Mn will leave black, scaly deposits and will eventually foul membranes in concentrations greater than .05 ppm. Manganese must be treated with a manganese greensand filter, regenerated with potassium permanganate. ...
- Page 6 Step 2. Plan Your Pre-treatment Strategy Pre-treating feed water can lengthen the life of membrane elements, improve the quality of the water produced and reduce the amount of maintenance and cleaning a system requires. The importance of feed water conditions is evident when you examine how crossflow membranes work.

Ensure that any tank float switch connected to a pump, is designed to carry the full load amperage of the re-pressurization pumps drive motor. Consult your Waterite Commercial RO Systems Price List for information and availability on a wide variety of water system components including storage tanks, repressurization pumps, bulkheads, tube, pipe, pressure switches, fittings, UV disinfection systems and float valves. - Page 9 Step 4. Selecting the System Location 1. The filter housings will need periodic maintenance - easy access must be maintained. Do not install in a location with high humidity, direct sun or a direct source of heat. Typically, a commercial mechanical room is ideal. Never expose the RO unit to freezing temperatures. 2.
- Page 10 Step 5. Connecting Raw Water Feed Line 1. Using the 3/8” clear tubing (supplied), connect the raw water feed line to the right side of the auto shut-off valve. Connect the other end of the tubing to the feed using a compression or push-on style push on fitting.

Step 7. Installing the Cartridges and Membrane (s) 1. Remove housing #1 by turning clockwise with the housing wrench supplied. Remove all protective wrapping from the 5-micron filter cartridge. Insert the 5-micron filter in the housing and reassemble. The housings are seated with o-rings – DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN –... -

Disconnect line at tee Figure 4. 2. The system is designed to normally operate at 50-80 psi. At this pressure, the proper waste/production ratio is established. YOUR MEMBRANES HAVE BEEN SHIPPED WITH AN ANTI-BACTERIAL PRESERVATIVE. OPERATE THE SYSTEM FOR 1 HOUR AT DESIGN SETTINGS BEFORE BRINGING THE SYSTEM ONLINE TO ASSURE MEMBRANE HAS BEEN COMPLETELY FLUSHED. - Page 13 It will also be helpful for your dealer or Waterite technical personnel to have this information available to help troubleshoot your system, should it become necessary.

- Page 17 To calculate the Permeate flow using the Temperature Correction Chart. Use the Nominal Membrane Flow Rate, (RSXII Lite = 800 gpd*) divided by the Temperature Correction Factor for your raw water temperature. Example: An RSXII Lite has 2 membranes each nominally rated at 400 gpd and the raw water temperature is 9.0 degrees Celsius.
