within these specifications. Depending on the conditions, however, some sites may
require additional pretreatment. To determine if additional pretreatment is required,
compare the LX feed water on site with the feed water requirements listed below.
NOTE: Recycling the LX reject to the RO feed will cause the CO
2
load on the LX to
increase, and may have an impact on the LX product water quality. Please refer to
Ionpure.com for additional reject stream system design guidance including the following
paper: “Process and System Design for Reliable Operation of RO/CEDI Systems”,
