LC <strong>Manual</strong> 11/02 Rev. 3 TROUBLESHOOTING<br />

5.9 LOW PRODUCT FLOW RATE<br />

A. Low feed water temperature can substantially reduce the per<strong>for</strong>mance of the RO<br />

unit.<br />

B. Adjust the reject throttling valve to increase membrane feed pressure, this<br />

adjustment should increase the product flow rate. Do not exceed 225 psig.<br />

C. If adjusting the reject throttling valve does not improve product flow rate, the RO<br />

membranes are fouled <strong>and</strong> should be cleaned with an appropriate medium.<br />

Depending on the type of fouling suspected, various regeneration/cleaning<br />

solutions may be used. Consult your local USFilter representative or USFilter,<br />

Technical Support Department at the number provided on the cover of this<br />

manual.<br />

5.10 MOTOR OVERLOAD SHUTDOWN<br />

A. Motor overload shutdown is caused by excessive amp draw. An overload relay<br />

is wired directly to the motor starter <strong>and</strong> it will shut the system down if it runs<br />

above the full load amp rating of the motor. Reset the overload relay by pressing<br />

the “RESET” button on the starter enclosure. If the unit continues to trip the<br />

overload relay <strong>and</strong> shutdown contact your local USFilter representative or<br />

USFilter Technical Support Department at the number provided on the cover of<br />

this manual.<br />

B. If the overload is shutting the unit down due to damage or binding within the<br />

pump/motor, repair or replace the pump/motor or contact your local USFilter<br />

representative or USFilter Technical Support Department at the number provided<br />

on the cover of this manual.<br />
