Using the RO-Compact System
Producing RO water:
RO permeate water is produced through the
RO membrane. The RO permeate reservoir is
filled when the water level is either below the
high level (J1 triggers high level and distribution
pump turns on) or below the mid level (J1 picks
mid level and distribution pump turns on).
When RO water is in use, the unit should be
turned on to maintain the appropriate level
of RO permeate water in the RO permeate
reservoir.
Water is also produced when the level is below
the low level in the RO permeate reservoir.
This occurs primarily at start up. It is important
to note that the water level in the permeate
reservoir will drop below the high level at shut
o. This is due to the flushing of the membrane,
located in the RO Permeate water reservoir.
The high pressure feed pump is directly linked
to the feed solenoid operation and will turn
on 6 seconds after the feed solenoid valve is
opened. This ensures that water is available to
the pump prior to turning on.
The feed solenoid valve will remain open until
the tank has filled up to above the high level, or
until the system is turned o.
The high pressure feed pump will turn o when
the feed solenoid valve is closed.
The high pressure feed pump is
protected by the inlet pressure switch.
If inlet water pressure is low, or below
the 1 bar set point it will turn o. It will
remain o until the inlet pressure has
returned to above the 1 bar set point
(assuming that the feed solenoid
valve is still open).
During times of low inlet pressure, only the high
pressure feed pump turns o. The feed solenoid
valve will remain open.
Therefore, the RO membrane can still permeate
a small amount of RO permeate using line
pressure. There is a time delay of 5 seconds on
the inlet pressure switch as described in other
sections.
Please note:
The membrane clogs faster, when circulation
is lacking.
Supplying RO water:
RO water is supplied to the user via the
distribution pump and bypass solenoid valve.
When the use of water begins, the bypass
solenoid valve remains closed and allows inlet
water to flow through the RO permeate outlet
connection. This flow also trips the flow switch.
If the flow switch is tripped when the water
level is above the low level in the reservoir, the
distribution pump is turned on, and the bypass
solenoid valve is opened, shutting the bypass
line.
At this point, RO permeate water from the
RO permeate reservoir is pumped out to the
user, instead of the bypassed inlet water. This
A guide to using and maintaining the RO-Compact system.
The system requires, therefore ensure it is switched on prior to intended use.
