  • Page 8: Measuring Concentrate To Purified Water Ratio

    Failure to perform this procedure can permanently damage the membrane and will void the pro-rated Membrane Warranty. In order to maximize the life of your SpectraPure RO Membrane, you may need to adjust the ratio of the concentrate to purified water. If not enough concentrate is allowed to flow past the membrane during operation, the impurities will precipitate out on the membrane surface, clogging the RO Membrane.
