3030226 Rev. D 3-3 System Operation
3.1 Daily Start-Up
WARNING:
Verification of the absence of all sanitizers, cleaners, disinfectants and
chlorine/chloramines must be performed before RO product water is used for any
patient related uses. At a minimum, carbon pretreatment should be used to
remove chlorine/chloramine. Chlorine/chloramine tests should be conducted
after the RO has operated for a minimum of 15 minutes.
CAUTION:
Any pre-treatment device supplying water to the RO must be ready for use prior
to operating the RO.
1. Connect the RO unit to the required utilities (RO feed water, drain line, product
line and power).
WARNING:
If blending hot and cold water, an appropriate blending valve must be used and
the temperature of the incoming water supply must be continuously monitored.
The system is equipped with a high product water temperature alarm that will
activate above 105°F (41°C).
NOTE:
Systems with blending valves usually have thermometers installed in the
plumbing. Hand held thermometers or the displayed Product Water Temperature
(V-1 screen) may also be used. The water temperature has a significant effect on
the flow rate of the RO membrane (refer to Technote 113, “Temperature
Correction Factor”) and on the evaluation of the membrane needing to be
cleaned. RO feed water temperature blending assemblies can be used on
portable RO.
2. Ensure that all the valves in the water supply line to the RO are open.
3. Turn ON the main power module located on the rear of the RO (if not already
on).
