3 . 1 .3 Check pressure drop across RO membrane .
3 .2 . 1 Check that electric motor is correctly sized .
3 .2 .2 Check internal parts (see item 2 . 1 ) .
3 .2 .3 Systems with more than one electric
motor installed:
Start motors simultaneously .

Comments
Pump conditions may change (more salt, lower
water temperature or scaling of RO membrane)
causing higher pressure, resulting in higher
motor torque .
Pumps run in parallel with cascade start, may
switch off the motor relay due to too high
torque caused by high outlet pressure .
If the electric motor is too small for the APP, APP S
or APP S 674 pump, it cannot provide sufficient
torque .
Too heavy damage in the pump will increase
friction causing a high torque (see item 6,
Typical signs of wear) .
