Performances of the concept Pre filtration: MRS600-HE has no prefiltration on board. Therefore always requires active carbon and sediment filtration ahead ! (Super high volume shops / bad quality water / … might require Average coffee shop might use: alternative filtration systems )

Trimmed = cut extension with a SHARP KNIFE ! Remove the RO membrane and store secure. Disconnect the 2 small capillary tubes ¼” - they will have grey flow restrictors : remove these (pull them out) ! Insert the new restrictors – free choice which capillary tube. Put the capillary tubes back in the system.

Brown trimmed + red = 255 s (ref. table) FLUSH INT: X.X H = 1.5 H For optimal coffee blend AND equipment protection a TDS setting in the range 70 – 100 ppm can be used. A higher TDS will have increased scaling potential. PENTAIR...

Every system has it’s limitation Reverse Osmosis is a “continuous” process, not able to provide 20 Liters at once. Example the MRS600-HE can produce effectively up to > 2000 liters / day or 90 liters / hour Running at +/- 1.5 liters / minute.

If multiple equipment is connected you might plan for an extra Wellmate water buffer support (can also always be added later) A storage tank behind the production unit should in average have a +/- 1.5 Bar air pre-charge. !

Maintenance on the MRS600-HE system: Annual inspection of the equipment: IF this is a normal preventive maintenance service YOU might check the coffee blend setting first. (while the system is in normal activity setup) If the TDS is OK, no need to handle If the coffee blend setting is fine now, you can expect it should be OK at the end of the service as well.
