1.) Check tubing connections to ensure correct installation set up.
2.) Check to ensure collet colors are in the correct configuration.
3.) Check to ensure jack screw is in the "up" position unless an air charge tank is being used.
4.) Ensure there is a minimum feed pressure of 35 psi.
5.) Ensure a full 3/8 inlet valve is used.
6.) Ensure system has been sanitized and air is purged from the system.
7.) Check TDS vs. feed pressure. Ensure there is a minimum of 20 psi above osmotic
pressure.

* System working pressure must be 20 psi greater than the osmotic pressure
** System must meet a minimum feed pressure of 35 psi
100 ppm TDS = 1 psi of osmotic pressure
1000 ppm TDS = 10 psi osmotic pressure
