4. valve fully open and the recirculation valve fully closed.
Allow the discharge hoses to run to drain.
5. Turn off the pump before it runs dry. Leave the system full of
liquid.
If the system is NOT going to be used within 24 hours:
1. Replace the prefilter (see maintenance section above)
2. Close the lower drain valves. Open the prefilter isolation
valve.
3. Rinse the membrane with 50-100 gallons of permeate water
(run the system for 15-30 minutes). Leave the concentrate
valve fully open and the recirculation valve fully closed.
Allow the discharge hoses to run to drain.
4. Turn off the pump before it runs dry. Leave the system full of
liquid.
5. Prepare a 5 gallon bucket of 100f water. Add the appropriate
amount of RO soap (follow directions on the manufacturer’s
label).
6. Place all three hoses in the 5 gallon bucket (intake,
concentrate and permeate hoses).
7. Run the system for 30 minutes (recirculation with all three
hoses in the same bucket). The concentrate valve should be
fully open and the recirculation valve should be fully closed.
8. After 30 minutes, turn off the system. Close the prefilter
isolation valve and keep the system full of liquid.
Long term storage: When storing the system for end of season,
it is advisable to do an additional wash with citric acid. Follow
the procedure above for “If the system is not going to be used
within 24 hours”. Additionally:
1. Prepare a 5 gallon bucket of 100f water. Add the appropriate
amount of citric acid (follow directions on the manufacturer’s
label).
2. Place all three hoses in the 5 gallon bucket (intake,
concentrate and permeate hoses).
3. Run the system for 30 minutes (recirculation with all three
hoses in the same bucket). The concentrate valve should be
fully open and the recirculation valve should be fully closed.
4. After 30 minutes, turn off the system.
5. Flush the system with 5 gallons of clean water. The purpose
of this is to dilute the citric acid mixture and flush the pump
head.
6. Open the lower drain valves and completely drain the
membrane housing. Close the drain valves back up.
7. Remove the upper membrane housing cap (see maintenance
section).
8. Fill the membrane housing with food grade propylene glycol.
Once full, reinstall the upper housing cap. Close the
concentrate valve and recirculation valve.
9. Remove the prefilter from the stainless prefilter housing.
10. Store the system in a non-humid place and make sure the
exterior components stay dry. Keep the system from
freezing.
8. Warranty
The majority of components comprising our products are intended to
be easily replaceable and relatively inexpensive. It is expected that
the user becomes familiar with how the product functions and has
the ability to repair broken fittings, hoses, and leaks. Furthermore,
the user must perform routine maintenance (filter changes, routine
membrane flushing, etc.).
Membrane fouling, bacterial growth, and unpleasant odors can all
develop due to improper maintenance and handling. While
membrane degradation is not covered by a warranty, our customer
service team will gladly help you determine the cause of such issues
and help you improve product performance moving forward.
The high pressure pump has a one-year warranty from the date of
purchase. This warranty covers manufacturer defects. It does not
cover damage caused by freezing, submersion in water, rough
handling, or premature pump body scoring due to being run dry.
