Page 13: Reverse Osmosis Membrane Performance Testing
® SpectraPure REVERSE OSMOSIS MEMBRANE PERFORMANCE TESTING: Actual performance of a membrane is dependent on three factors: Osmotic Pressure, Tap Water Pressure and Tap Water Temperature. What is Osmotic Pressure: The flow of water through a membrane in response to differing concentrations of solutes on either side generates an additional pressure across the membrane called osmotic pressure. -
Page 14: Reverse Osmosis Membrane Replacement
® SpectraPure REVERSE OSMOSIS MEMBRANE REPLACEMENT: 1. Turn off the water supply to the RO system and unplug the transformer. Place the system where the membrane housing is easily accessible. 2.
