IMPORTANT: Before installing this reverse osmosis system,
make certain your water supply complies with the following
operating specifications. Failure to do so may reduce the
effectiveness of the system and will void the warranty.
SPECIFICATIONS
Thin Film Membrane: TFM-50
Feed Water Pressure: 40 to 100 psi (2.75–6.9 bar)
Temperature Range: 40–100°F (4.4–37.7°C)
TDS: 2000 ppm
Maximum Hardness
†
: 10 gpg (171 mg/L)
Sulfide, Iron and Manganese
‡
: 0 ppm <0.1 ppm
Chlorine in Water Supply: Less than 2 ppm
pH Limits: 3–11
Daily Product Water Rate: 15.04 gpd (56.93 Lpd)
TDS Rejection: 96.2%
Turbidity: 11 NTU Average
†
If the hardness of your water is above 10 gpg (171 mg/L), lime
scale will build up rapidly on the membrane. Scale buildup will
plug the membrane and make the system ineffective. We do not
recommend these reverse osmosis systems to be used with
water in excess of 10 gpg (171 mg/L) hardness.
‡
A maximum total level of approximately 0.01 ppm sulfide, iron
or manganese is permissible. See your local dealer to reduce
these substances in your water.
