3. Inspect the inside of the housing
for debris and rinse with water, if
necessary.
4. Lubricate the rubber O-ring with
a food grade O-ring lubricant and
place in the groove of the
housing.
5. Locate the 5 micron pre-filter
cartridge provided with the
package. Remove the wrapping
from the cartridge and insert it
into the housing. Screw the
housing onto the cap hand tight.
6. Locate the feed water inlet on the
pre-filter housing (pointer 2 on the
drawing or picture of your
system).
7. Attach the provided inlet hose to
the feed water inlet, or
permanently plumb the feed water
piping or tubing to the inlet.
ALWAYS maintain a smooth and
sufficient flow of feed water during
operation.
8. Locate the permeate outlet.
(Pointer 3 on the picture or
diagram of your EPRO system)
9. Attach the permeate hose to the
permeate outlet. (Note: the “P”
series systems have a check
valve installed in the permeate
line between the membrane and
the bladder tank). Make sure that
permeate water can flow freely
and that there is no backpressure.
Backpressure can cause damage to
the membrane.
CAUTION: the plumbing in the
permeate line can contaminate the
high quality water produced by the
EPRO system; ensure that the
components are compatible with the
application. The pH of the RO
permeate will normally be 1-2 points
lower than the feed water pH. A pH
of 6.5 or lower can be very
aggressive to some plumbing
materials, such as copper piping.
10. Locate the concentrate (waste)
outlet (pointer 4 on the picture or
diagram of your EPRO system).
For the “P” series systems: The
concentrate outlet is located
behind the control panel.
Unscrew the top panel. Locate the
concentrate outlet on the drain
side of the concentrate control
valve (see pointer 4 on FIG. 3 and
4).
11. Attach, the clear drain hose to
the concentrate outlet.
12.
Run the concentrate line to drain.
Water must be allowed to run
freely, without any restrictions or
blockage in the drain line.
Make sure that NO backpressure
exists on the concentrate line.
13. Ensure that the electrical power
requirements of the EPRO system
match your electrical power
supply.
CAUTION: Consult a qualified
electrician for proper start-up of your
three-phase motor. When connecting
a three-phase motor, always check
for proper direction of rotation.
