Male NPTF
Feedwater should be filtered with 1 μm sediment filter. If the filter is not installed, the input strainer
may become clogged thus blocking the water flow.
Check if sediment filter is installed in tap water
supply line. There should be at least one sediment
filter (pore size 1 μm). The sediment filter is
usually available from a local plumbing store. If
you cannot obtain a sediment filter locally, you
can order tap water line pre-filter set from
Adrona. The part number is 10170 (carbonpp/ PP
1 μm) or 10171 (polyphosphate/carbonpp/1 μm).
Feedwater connection
Feed water hardness does affect produced water quality. Operation of the system with hard feed water
may result in pre-mature clogging of reverse osmosis membranes and reduced Grade II or Grade I water
flow.
Therefore, it is strongly recommended to install a water softener or polyphosphate filter if
water hardness is above 160 ppm.
Feed water connection port has to be 1/2” NPTF (male) thread. The system is equipped with feed water
tube (1/4’’ OD) and adapter for 1/2” NPTF (female) water supply connection. The feed water tube
should be connected to the 1/4” John Guest port of the adapter. Feed water connection port should be
equipped with a valve allowing shutting off water supply.
