    EPA EST. NO. 52531-FL-01 The Aquathin Reverse Osmosis Membrane used in this system can tolerate significantly higher concentrations of oxidizing contaminants like iron and manganese than RO membranes found in other systems, as well as a much higher degree of hardness.

  • Page 26: Operating Parameters

    In general, the higher the pressure (up to 100 PSI), the better the performance of the membrane at rejecting contaminants. The Aquathin HRO TFC membrane will hold up very well when the pH of the feed water is between 2 and 11.

    TFC Reverse Osmosis Membrane. Therefore, it is essential to remove chlorine from your feed water before it reaches the RO membrane. Your Aquathin RO/ DI system includes a pre-filter containing a special grade of grade of Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) which will very effectively remove chlorine and chloramines from your tap water.

    (use the water for watering plants, etc.) then flush the membrane for 5-10 minutes as described above. FILTER REPLACEMENT After 12 months of use, it is time to replace the Aquathin sediment pre-filter, the Aquathin twin GAC carbon filters, and the Aquathin Deionization Module to insure your system continues to produce water within Aquathin parameters.

  • Page 36: Frequently Asked Questions

    Q: How long will my GAC pre-filters last before they need to be replaced? A: Your Aquathin AquaKING system has been designed to operate within a wide range of tap water conditions. These conditions vary greatly across municipalities, so it is difficult to state precisely how long your pre-filters will last.
  • Page 37 You can invest in a reliable and inexpensive resistivity meter (available from your local Authorized Aquathin Dealer) or you can send samples to them for analysis. (Poor rejection rates may also be an indication of a clogged pre-filter, so check that filter first.) A large...
