Membrane Power Flush Kit now included. Built in the USA Unit size: 18.5" x 16" x 6" Weight: 10.8 lbs Important Information & Performance Parameters Reverse Osmosis is the most efficient and cost-effective way to remove the majority of all contaminants from your water. The key component of the system are the RO membranes composed of tightly wrapped sheets of a semi-permeable material. Under pressure, the membrane allows pure water to pass through it and rejects, or flushes away, most impurities down the drain. That is why all RO systems have a certain amount of wastewater. The ratio of wastewater is determined by the Flow Restrictor installed in the Flow Restrictor/Flush Kit Assembly. The system comes with a choice of 1:1 and 2:1 Flow Restrictors. The flow of purified water is determined by the GPD rating of the membrane, inlet pressure and inlet temperature. The has the capacity to produce 150 gallons per day (approx. 6.25 gallons/hour when your inlet water is at 77°F, 65 psi, 500 PPM). If your inlet pressure is less than 65 psi, you may experience less than the rated 150 GPD flow rate. A minimum of 40 psi is required to operate the system. The higher the inlet pressure, the better the flow. A booster pump is available as an option in case of low pressure and is necessary if your pressure is below 40 psi. You will notice that in colder areas or in the winter, when water temperatures are lower, the flow rate will be slower. Inlet water that is very high in total PPM or very hard with calcium or magnesium, or high in certain contaminants such as iron or silica, may shorten the life of the membranes and/ or cause slower flow rates. The RO membranes can handle inlet water up to 1,000 PPM and with a hardness up 10 grains per gallon (170 PPM). Note that this is considered both very contaminated and very hard water and may result in a shorter membrane lifespan. At these levels of contamination and hardness, and especially beyond, you may consider pre-treatment in the form of a water softener or other equipment. Softened water can be run through your system for optimal performance. The membrane in the is capable of removing up to 99% of salts that are introduced by the softener.

Take any PPM readings a full five minutes after turning the system on to ensure accuracy. What's Included? 1. Stage 1—Pleated, Cleanable Sediment filter Reduces dirt, sediment, silt, rust, etc. 2.
