GE E2 Series - Feed Water Requirements; Transporting Pure Water to Point-of-Use

2.4 Feed Water Requirements
The following feed water requirements must be met before installing your E2/EZ2-Series
machine to ensure quality permeate and extended membrane element life. Refer to
Table 2.2 (
E2/EZ2-Series Feed Water Requirements) for feed water information.

ransporting Pure Water (Permeate) to Point-of-Use
Pure water, or permeate, is in an aggressive state and should only be transported from the
machine to the point-of-use in food grade flexible nylon, stainless steel (SS) tubing, or
polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material for the inlet, permeate, and concentrate piping sizes.
Refer to Connections (Table 2.1, E2/EZ2-Series Machine Plumbing Connections) for
inlet, permeate, and concentrate piping sizes.
