GE OSMONICS MILLENIUMTM REVERSE OSMOSIS UNIT - Manual (Page 27)

M Millenium™ RO System by GE Osmonics
14693e - 31 Mar 03 2 - 3 Installation Guidelines and Instructions
2.1 Installation Considerations
1. Select a location for the Millenium™ near the required utilities and dialysis
equipment.
2. The RO unit requires 115 VAC power for operation and consumes 8 amps of
current (the 230 VAC model consumes 5 amps).
3. The RO unit requires nominally 2 GPM water at 30 PSI. Warmer feed water (up
to 25°) will produce more permeate, and will consume more water. The water
may also require some pretreatment to ensure maximum performance and
suitability. GE Osmonics recommends that feed water be chlorine/chloramine
free and solids above 5 microns in size be filtered out.
4. A drain with a minimum capacity of 2 GPM is required for the RO unit.
5. Back flow prevention may be required in accordance with local codes.
6. Special connections may be needed to connect to water supply. Connections vary
with different facilities.
2.2 Installation Procedures:
CAUTION:
If a carbon tank is present on the RO system, the carbon tank must be completely
rinsed of all carbon fines and ash before connecting to the RO unit. Otherwise,
irreparable damage to the TF membrane will result (refer to Carbon Manual).
WARNING:
The Millenium™ RO is stored with 1 wt.% sodium metabisulfite from the factory.
Follow all Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) guidelines that are included with the
RO.
NOTE:
For initial start-up, the large removable panel must be removed to allow access to
the pump and regulator for adjustments as well as to remove shipping materials.
The panel is held on with twelve stainless steel screws. Use caution any time a
panel is removed from the Millenium™.
1. Connect the Millenium™ RO inlet tubing GHT (garden hose thread) connector to
the inlet cold water supply, and the QD (quick-disconnect) end to the “Feed”
connection on the front panel.
2. Connect the waste water line to the waste QD connection on the front of the RO,
and to the drain in accordance with the local plumbing code. Making this
connection allows the waste flow by opening a check valve; disconnecting closes
it.
3. Connect the product line QD connector to the product fitting on the front panel.
Connecting together the male and female fittings (hose to RO) opens a check
