INSTALLATION
Getting Started
The following procedures have been developed to assist during the installation of your TQ System.
The installation of this TQ Membrane System should be
performed by a qualified service person with an
understanding of local and regional codes that may affect
the installation requirements.
Pre-installation Review
Should there be any visible shipping damage to the TQ System, please contact your freight company for
coverage information. Before beginning the installation of the TQ System, confirm system configuration to be
installed, and components that have been ordered. Please review TQ System specification sheet that
includes required components.
Review of the customer’s facility is also recommended, especially critical operating data that could effect the
operation of the system:
Water Pressure
Water pressure to the TQ System will effect maximum flow
permitted by the system. The TQ 172 – 173 systems will not
operate if the inlet pressure fluctuates below a dynamic
pressure of 40 psi. This minimum pressure must be
maintained to the system at all times. Should the pressure
fluctuate below this level, a booster pump may be required.
The TQ 174 – 176 require 20 psi. inlet pressure.
Temperature
Ambient temperature must be maintained above 32°F (0°C).
Freezing temperatures will cause breakage of equipment
and void all warranties.
Water Temperature
Inlet water temperature must be maintained between 40°F
(4.4 °C) and 95°F (35 °C) to prevent damage to the system’s
membranes.
System Location
The unit must be installed indoors. Failure to comply with
this requirement can cause significant damage to the system
and will create a safety concern.

Tools and Installation Materials
Since the TQ System process high quality water, plumbing
runs on the process, purge and drain outlets should all be
completed with High Density P.P or P.E. tubing. Copper and
galvanized pipe will be chemically attacked by the permeate
water.
