Flow Information for Standard Installations
For typical single faucet under-the-sink Merlin installations using only the
components shipped in the box, the following flow rates can be expected.
This information assumes 4 feet of 3/8-inch permeate tubing, 2 feet
elevation difference, use of the faucet as shipped, and no additional
obstructions or pressure drop. Data shown is based on water containing
750 ppm NaCl.

a. To adjust data to actual conditions, multiply measured TDS by -0.0002 and add 0.15.
Add answer to Table data to achieve actual flow rate. Estimated flow change from 750
ppm NaCl = -.0002 X measured TDS + 0.15
NOTE: Actual system performance may vary because of
manufacturing tolerances and installation factors.
