INITIAL START-UP
1. Keep the permeate water line to drain for this procedure.
2. Fully open the concentrate valve #8 (counter clockwise). (Figure 1B, Page 14)
3. Fully close the recycle valve # 7(clockwise)(if applicable). (Figure 1B, Page 14)
4. Return position of the bypass white lever inline on the solenoid valve #1. (Figure 2,
Page 20)
5. Turn the RO system on #6 and adjust the concentrate (waste) valve #8, recycle
valve # 7 (if applicable), and the bypass screw on the pump to the designed flow and
pressure. (Figure 3, Page 25)
6. Inspect the system for leaks.
7. Allow the system to run for one hour to flush the preservative solution from the
system.
8. After one hour, shut down the system.
9. Re-direct the permeate water back to the tank and then turn the system back on.
10. Record the readings daily for a week. After a week, record the readings once a
week.
Adjust the pump bypass valve and concentrate valve until the correct flow
is achieved. For example, BT-1500 should be adjusted until it produces about
1500 GPD or 1.04 GPM of permeate (product water) at 77˚F. Design flow might be
achieved below 150 PSI.
GPM = GPD/1440
Example:
1.04 =1500/1440
