Component Functionality TQ 172 - 173
The TQ System is comprised of various components. A brief description has been provided for each of these
major components. The illustration helps depict the physical location of these components on the TS system,
while the flow schematic shows the flow path through the system.
Inlet The inlet to the system is located on the
left side of the TQ System. This connection is
designed for 3/8” O.D. tubing.
Do not use smaller than 3/8” tubing on
the inlet connection.
Bracket
An aluminum anodized bracket is used to
support the multi-membrane structure. The
frame allows for quick and convenient
installation in a wall-mounted configuration.
Pre-filter Cartridge
A sediment prefilter is included standard with
each TQ system. If the daily water usage is
low (<50 gpd), then a carbon prefilter could
possibly be substituted for the sediment filter.
Careful attention must be made to assure
timely replacement of the carbon prefilter,
due to its capacity for chlorine removal.
System Cover
A decorative cover is used to shield the feed,
permeate and drain plumbing manifolds.
This cover can be removed should
maintenance be required on any of the
internal components.
Membrane Housing/Membrane
Three membrane housings are used on the
TQ Series. With the 172 configuration, only
two of the housings include the membranes.
This allows for a quick upgrade to a third
membrane should the customer require the
additional capacity. Membranes used are
thin film composite. The operating efficiency
of this membrane is affected by operating
pressure, inlet water quality, water
temperature and storage tank choice.
