General Information

• Keep elements moist at all times after initial wetting
• To prevent biological growth during prolonged system shutdowns, it is recommended that membrane elements be immersed in a preservative solution
• The customer is fully responsible for the effects of incompatible chemicals and lubricants on elements
• Maximum pressure drop across an entire pressure vessel (housing) is 50 psi (3.4 bar)
• Avoid static permeate-side backpressure at all times
• Permeate obtained from the first hour of operation should be discarded.
• Avoid any abrupt pressure or cross-flow variations on the spiral elements during start-up, shutdown, cleaning or other sequences to prevent possible membrane damage.
• The use of this product in and of itself does not necessarily guarantee the removal of cysts and pathogens from water. Effective cyst and pathogen reduction is dependent on the complete system design and on the operation and maintenance of the system.
