INTRODUCTION
Page 5 of 35
MKT–601–A
Your ELP–Series Reverse Osmosis System is a durable piece of equipment which, with proper care,
will last for many years. This User Manual outlines installation, operation, maintenance and
troubleshooting details vital to the sustained performance of your system.
If your system is altered at the site of operation, or if the feedwater conditions change, please
contact your local dealer or distributor to determine the proper recovery for your application.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, REMOVE ANY CAUTION, WARNING OR OTHER
DESCRIPTIVE LABELS FROM THE SYSTEM.
IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THE MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY, AN OPERATING LOG MUST
BE MAINTAINED AND COPIES WILL NEED TO BE SENT TO YOUR LOCAL DEALER OR
DISTRIBUTOR FOR REVIEW.
PRIOR TO OPERATING OR SERVICING THE REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM, THIS USER
MANUAL MUST BE READ AND FULLY UNDERSTOOD. KEEP THIS AND OTHER ASSOCIATED
INFORMATION FOR FUTURE REFERENCE AND FOR NEW OPERATORS OR QUALIFIED
PERSONNEL NEAR THE SYSTEM.
PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THE INSTALLATION AND
START–UP. FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS OR OPERATING PARAMETERS MAY LEAD
TO THE PRODUCT’S FAILURE, WHICH CAN CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR
PERSONAL INJURY.

SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
Page 6 of 35
MKT–601–A
The Safety section of this User Manual outlines the various safety headings used throughout this
manual’s text and are enhanced and defined below:
CAUTION: INDICATES STATEMENTS THAT ARE USED TO IDENTIFY
CONDITIONS OR PRACTICES THAT COULD RESULT IN EQUIPMENT OR OTHER
PROPERTY DAMAGE.
WARNING: INDICATES STATEMENTS THAT ARE USED TO IDENTIFY
CONDITIONS OR PRACTICES THAT COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR EVEN
DEATH.
ELECTRICAL HAZARD: INDICATES STATEMENTS THAT ARE USED TO IDENTIFY
HIGH-VOLTAGE AND POTENTIAL SHOCK / ELECTROCUTION.
STATEMENTS IN BOLD AND ALL CAPITALS ARE ADVISORY OR INFORMATIONAL
STATEMENTS OF PARTICULAR IMPORTANCE TO THE HEADING UNDER WHICH THEY ARE
FOUND.
PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
DO NOT USE WHERE THE WATER IS MICROBIOLOGICALLY UNSAFE OR OF
UNKNOWN QUALITY WITHOUT ADEQUATE DISINFECTION BEFORE OR AFTER
THE SYSTEM.
ALWAYS TURN OFF THE UNIT, SHUT OFF THE FEEDWATER, RELIEVE PRESSURE,
AND DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER BEFORE WORKING ON THE UNIT.
DO NOT CLOSE THE CONCENTRATE VALVE COMPLETELY.
PRE–TREATMENT MUST BE SUFFICIENT TO ELIMINATE CHEMICALS, ORGANICS
OR INORGANICS THAT COULD ATTACK THE MEMBRANE MATERIAL.
DO NOT OPERATE THE SYSTEM WITH INSUFFICIENT FEED FLOW. NEVER
ALLOW THE PUMP TO RUN DRY.

SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
Page 7 of 35
MKT–601–A
NEVER ALLOW THE UNIT TO FREEZE OR OPERATE WITH A FEEDWATER
TEMPERATURE ABOVE 85°F.
DO NOT PERMIT CHLORINE TO BE PRESENT IN THE FEED WATER.
DO NOT SHUT DOWN THE SYSTEM FOR EXTENDED PERIODS. IT IS BEST TO
RUN THE SYSTEM AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION SHOULD BE DONE BY QUALIFIED, TRAINED
ELECTRICIANS. INSTALLATION SHOULD BE TO LOCAL CODES.

OPERATING DO’S AND DON’TS
Page 8 of 35
MKT–601–A
DO
•Change the cartridge filters regularly.
•Monitor the system and keep a daily log.
•Run the system as much as possible on a continuous basis.
•Adjust the system recovery to the recommended value.
•Always feed the pump with filtered water.
DON’T
•Permit chlorine to enter or be present in the feed water.
•Shut down the system for extended periods.
•Close the throttle valve completely.
•Operate the system with insufficient feed flow or pressure.
•Operate the pump dry.

FEED WATER AND OPERATION SPECIFICATIONS
Page 9 of 35
MKT–601–A
Nothing has a greater effect on a reverse osmosis system than the feed water quality. If your
system is altered at the site of operation or if the feed water conditions change, please contact
your local dealer or distributor to determine the proper recovery for your application. Before
starting the RO system it is strongly suggested to obtain an up to date water analysis of the water
to be treated.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO MEET THE MINIMUM FEED WATER AND
OPERATING REQUIREMENTS OUTLINED IN THIS MANUAL. FAILURE TO DO SO
WILL CAUSE DAMAGE OR FAILURE OF THE SYSTEM COMPONENTS AND
MEMBRANES. DAMAGE TO THE SYSTEM DUE TO OPERATION OUTSIDE OF
THE SPECIFICATIONS OUTLINED IN THIS MANUAL WILL VOID THE
MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY. CHECK YOUR FEED WATER CHEMISTRY AND,
IF NECESSARY, CONSULT WITH YOUR LOCAL DEALER OR DISTRIBUTOR
BEFORE START UP OF THE SYSTEM.
