Transporting Pure Water (Permeate) to Point-of-Use
The pure water, or permeate, is in an aggressive state and should only be transport-
ed from the machine to the point-of-use in food grade flexible nylon, stainless steel
(SS) tubing, or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material for the inlet, permeate, and concen-
trate piping sizes. Refer to Connections (Table 2.1) for inlet, permeate, and concen-
trate piping sizes.
