RX Manual 04/04 Rev. 6 SYSTEM MAINTENANCE<br />

4.4 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE<br />

NOTE: The maintenance schedule for monitoring outlined is a minimum for the<br />

protection of the <strong>RO</strong> system. A more frequent monitoring schedule may be<br />

necessary. Consult your local <strong>USF</strong>ilter representative or call <strong>USF</strong>ilter,<br />

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

manual for assistance.<br />

Refer to the <strong>RO</strong> Data Collection Form in the Appendix.<br />

A. Feed water<br />

1. Check pressure daily; record weekly. Adjust as necessary to maintain 35<br />

to 80 psi.<br />

2. Monitor feed and product conductivity and record weekly.<br />

3. If there is a possibility of the presence of chlorine in the feed water,<br />

measure free chlorine weekly. (It must be non-detectable or the<br />

membranes may be damaged).<br />

4. If there is a possibility of significant pH variations (i.e. the feed is pH<br />

controlled) monitor and record pH weekly by independent pH meter or<br />

litmus paper.<br />

5. Measure total hardness monthly.<br />

6. Measure total alkalinity monthly.<br />

B. Prefilter<br />

1. Measure differential pressure daily; record weekly.<br />

2. Change prefilter cartridge when the differential pressure is greater than<br />

10 psi or every month, whichever occurs sooner.<br />

C. Pump<br />

1. Check pressures daily; record weekly.<br />

2. If the pressures have fallen off, check product, reject and reject<br />

recirculation flow rates.<br />

D. Conductivity<br />

1. Observe feed and product conductivity daily; and record weekly.<br />

2. Record percent salt rejection weekly.<br />

Conductivity Feed - Conductivity Product<br />

100 X = % Rejection<br />

Conductivity Feed<br />

E. Flow Rates<br />

1. Check daily and record product and reject flow rate weekly.<br />

2. Calculate the percent recovery using the following formula:<br />
