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 />
