condition continues until either the water in the
sump drops below the low level of the permeate
reservoir or the water is turned o and the flow
switch senses no flow. When these situations
occur, the RO permeate pump will shut o after
a 5 second delay and the bypass solenoid valve
will open allowing inlet water to bypass the RO
and flow directly out through the permeate
connection.
The RO permeate pump is directly controlled by
the flow switch and the low level float.
As soon as flow is sensed by the flow switch,
the RO permeate pump will turn on (assuming
the water is above the low level). Following this,
when the flow switch once again senses no flow,
there will be a 5 second delay before the RO
permeate pump shuts o.
If during this time the water level drops below
the low level float, the RO permeate pump will
immediately shut o.
The pump will turn back on again when the
water level has returned above the low level
float and the flow switch senses flow.
Non-bypass systems:
In the case of non-bypass systems, the bypass
line will be shut o, the bypass solenoid
removed and an extra normally closed (NC)
pressure switch will be wired in parallel with
the flow switch input.
In this instance, when the user opens the
permeate line to use water, pressure is relieved in
the line, and the distribution pump is turned on.
Pressure is re-established in the line during this
process, but the flow switch keeps the pump
running until the line is closed by the user’s
device.
Please note:
The pump will remain running for 5 seconds
and then shut o due to no flow.
This delay is critical to the no-bypass system as
there may be a few seconds between the NC
pressure switch triggering the pump to turn
on and the flow switch triggering the pump
to remain running. The 5 second delay also
prevents the pump from mistakenly shutting o
due to bouncing switches or momentary loss of
contact in flow and pressure switches.
The device display will indicate the RO
production rate. If desired, the circuit board will
also operate without the display.
Daily start-up/shutdown:
The equipment will run in an automatic mode,
shutting itself o each time the high level is
reached in the RO permeate reservoir. As part
of this the automatic control, the pump will shut
o and a permeate flush will occur. This rinse
flushes the membrane with permeate water,
minimizing the possibility of membrane fouling.
Daily log:
A daily log can be found at the back of this
manual. It is recommended that this page
is photocopied and used to record the
performance of the system on a daily basis.
Recording these characteristics every day will
help to solve any problems that may arise in the
future. E.g. A change in the performance may
be recorded indicating possible fouling of the
membrane.
Accurate logging and timely membrane cleaning
will help to ensure maximum membrane life.
