INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION The CERO 2.0–Series Reverse Osmosis System is a durable piece of equipment which, with proper care, will last for many years. This User Manual outlines installation, operation, maintenance and troubleshooting details vital to the sustained performance of your system. If the feedwater conditions change, please contact your local dealer or distributor.
SAFETY SAFETY Defined below are the three safety headings used throughout this User Manual’s text. WARNING: INDICATES STATEMENTS THAT ARE USED TO IDENTIFY DANGEROUS CONDITIONS OR PRACTICES. FAILURE TO FOLLOW WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. CAUTION: INDICATES STATEMENTS THAT ARE USED TO IDENTIFY CONDITIONS OR PRACTICES THAT COULD RESULT IN EQUIPMENT OR OTHER PROPERTY DAMAGE.
OPERATING DO’S AND DON’TS OPERATING DO’S AND DON’TS Change the cartridge filters regularly. Monitor the system and keep a daily log. Run the system as much as possible on a continuous basis. DON’T Permit chlorine to enter or be present in the feed water. ...
OPERATING LIMITS OPERATING LIMITS Nothing has a greater effect on a reverse osmosis system than the feed water quality. If the feed water conditions change, please contact your local dealer or distributor. Before starting the RO system it is strongly suggested to obtain an up to date water analysis of the water to be treated. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO MEET THE MINIMUM FEED WATER AND OPERATING REQUIREMENTS OUTLINED IN THIS MANUAL.
PRE-FILTRATION COMPONENT DESCRIPTION PRE-FILTRATION CERO 2.0–Series systems are supplied with a 5-micron sediment filter. Change the filtration cartridge when a 10-15 psi differential exists between the inlet pressure and filter out pressure. THE SYSTEM MUST BE OPERATED ON FILTERED WATER ONLY. PRE-FILTRATION PRESSURE GAUGE This gauge measures the pressure when it exits the pre- EXAMPLE: If the inlet pressure is 60...
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION COMPONENT DESCRIPTION MEMBRANE The reverse osmosis system is equipped with AXEON XE3–Series RO membranes. These membranes separate impurities from water through the reverse osmosis process. PERMEATE FLOW METER A clear acrylic analog flow meter is provided to measure the amount of product water.
MEMBRANE INFORMATION MEMBRANE INFORMATION CERO 2.0–Series reverse osmosis systems come standard with XE3–Series Reverse Osmosis Membrane Elements. General membrane element performance characteristics are listed on the following membrane specification chart. MEMBRANE ELEMENT SPECIFICATIONS AND OPERATING LIMITS XE3–Series Membranes (Standard) Membrane Type: Polyamide Thin–Film Composite pH Range, Short Term Cleaning (30 Min.): 2-12 Maximum Operating Temperature: 113°F (45°C) Maximum Feed Silt Density Index (SDI): 3...

MEMBRANE PERFORMANCE MEMBRANE PERFORMANCE CERO 2.0–Series Reverse Osmosis Systems are designed to produce 2,000-4,000 GPD at 77 ° (nominal) of permeate water per membrane at 98% rejection under the proper conditions. For example, the CERO 2.0–2000 produces 2,000 gallons per day of permeate water at the listed operating test conditions.
SYSTEM INSTALLATION SYSTEM INSTALLATION MOUNTING When choosing a location to install the system, select an area with enough room to remove the membranes and easily access components and connections. Make sure there is enough room for service to be performed on the system. Take into consideration where your electrical power supply is located and where the nearest drain is located.
SYSTEM INSTALLATION SYSTEM INSTALLATION ELECTRICAL CERO 2.0–Series systems are available in 115 or 230V/60HZ/1PH. Each CERO 2.0–Series system is equipped with an 8 foot electrical cord to supply the system power. It is best that the CERO 2.0–Series system be wired to a dedicated electrical circuit. Ensure that the electrical circuit supplying the system is compatible with the requirements of the specific CERO 2.0–Series model you are installing.
MEMBRANE INSTALLATION AND HANDLING MEMBRANE INSTALLATION AND HANDLING ALL PRESSURE GAUGES MUST READ ZERO BEFORE BEGINNING THIS PROCEDURE. TURN THE SYSTEM OFF, DISCONNECT THE POWER, AND BLEED ALL WATER PRESSURE FROM THE SYSTEM. THE BRINE SEAL MUST BE IN THE CORRECT POSITION FOR EACH MEMBRANE HOUSING IN ORDER FOR THE MEMBRANE TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY.
MEMBRANE INSTALLATION AND HANDLING MEMBRANE INSTALLATION AND HANDLING MEMBRANE INSTALLATION / REPLACEMENT WEAR GLOVES FOR THE FOLLOWING STEPS IN ORDER NOT TO CONTAMINATE THE MEMBRANE. Remove the permeate plumbing and/or fittings from the permeate port of the top end plug on the pressure vessel.

MEMBRANE INSTALLATION AND HANDLING MEMBRANE INSTALLATION AND HANDLING The membrane should stop when fully seated on the bottom end plug. 10. Reassemble the top end plug(s). MAKE SURE THE O-RINGS AND END PLUGS ARE FREE FROM DIRT AND DEBRIS BEFORE REINSTALLING. DIRT AND OTHER FOREIGN MATERIALS LEFT ON THE END PLUGS CAN CAUSE LEAKS AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE MEMBRANES AND CAUSE CONTAMINATION.
SYSTEM PURGING / INITIAL START-UP SYSTEM PURGING / INITIAL START-UP CAREFULLY INSPECT YOUR SYSTEM BEFORE INITIAL START UP. CHECK THAT ALL THE PLUMBING AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS ARE IN PLACE AND SECURELY FASTENED. LEAVE THE POWER TO THE SYSTEM OFF UNTIL STEP 8 OF THIS PROCEDURE. 1.

If the system is to be shut down for an extended period, a membrane preservative should be used to preserve the membranes. PRIOR TO STORING YOUR SYSTEM, THE SYSTEM SHOULD BE CLEANED WITH AXEON C–10 AND C–20 CLEANERS, FLUSHED WITH PERMEATE WATER AND M–100 SOLUTION FOR MEMBRANES TO PROTECT IT FROM BIOLOGICAL ATTACK.
TEMPERATURE CORRECTION FACTORS TEMPERATURE CORRECTION FACTORS A membrane’s stated permeate production rate is based on a water temperature of 77 °F degrees Fahrenheit. Temperatures above or below 77 °F will increase or decrease the membrane’s production rate. Find the temperature correction factor (TCF) for your water temperature on the table located on the next page.
