DRISTEEM HIGH-PRESSURE SYSTEM INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Warnings and cautions
CAUTION
Operate system at above-freezing temperatures.
Operating the system at temperatures below freezing can damage the system or cause other property damage.
Maintain pumping and water treatment equipment.
Inadequately maintained pumping and water treatment equipment can cause the system to fail. Refer to the maintenance section
of this IOM for recommended maintenance.
Do not install the system using steel or galvanized-steel piping and joints.
Steel and steel-galvanized piping and joints can corrode and cause system damage. Use PVC or stainless steel piping and joints
when assembling system.
Follow all instructions in this manual to maintain product warranty.
Damage to pump
Do not close the valve on the outlet of the pump. Do not operate the pump below minimum combined flow rate (permeate +
concentrate + recirculating).
Models 401-402: 4 gpm (15.2 L/min)
Models 403-412: 6 gpm (22.7 L/min)
Team lift required
Team lift is required when replacing the membranes. Membrane banks are heavy. Do not try to lift without assistance.
Wear steel-toed shoes and have adequate room for maneuvering when servicing. Never lean membrane banks
vertically when removed from system. Failure to do so may damage the system or result in injury. See maintenance
information on page 74.

NOTICE
Health risks
The user is responsible for operating and maintaining the provided system in accordance with city, state, and federal regulations.
Please follow local health and state codes for regulations around application of adiabatic humidifiers or adiabatic cooling
devices. There is an associated risk with all water sources and the potential for bio growth, including bacterium that causes
Legionnaires disease.
DriSteem high-pressure systems, products, and components are designed, with consideration, to reduce the risk of Legionnaires
disease and other similar situations. The water treatment and high-pressure system design take into account lower operating
temperatures, minimization of stagnant water through mechanical design and flush cycles, and provides an option for UV
disinfection of the RO storage water.
Inadequate installation, operation or maintenance of the water system and humidifier can support the growth of bacterium.
A competent environmental, health, and safety representative should identify the risks of any interacting systems. As deemed
appropriate, plans and controls should be implemented at the facility to help mitigate risk.
