Membrane Housing/Membrane The cabinet
houses four or six membrane housings. Four
housings are used on the 174 and six on the 176.
This allows a 174 to be upgraded to a 176 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.
Drain Manifold The drain manifold (Green) uses
3/8” tubing to connect water from the drain outlet of
the membrane housings to the bulkhead.
Permeate Manifold The permeate manifold (Blue)
uses 3/8” tubing to connect water from the
permeate to a common bulkhead.
Inlet Manifold The inlet manifold (Black) uses 3/8”
tubing to connect water from the outlet of the filter
cartridge to each membrane housing.
System Booster Pump The pump is located
inside the cabinet on the bracket. It is used to
boost the system pressure on the feed to the
membranes.
