4 Please read this operating manual prior to use and store in a safe place for referral at a later date. 1.0 Principles of Reverse Osmosis The heart of the system is a semi-permeable membrane that will allow small molecules to pass through, such as water (H 2 O) and reject larger molecules such as sodium Chloride (NaCl). At atmospheric pressure, if a membrane separates two of different solution strengths, ions from the stronger solution tend to flow into the weaker solution until equilibrium is attained. As the name suggests, Reverse Osmosis, reverses this natural tendency by exerting an Osmotic pressure on the membrane. Now the concentrated side of the membrane forces the smaller water molecules through the membrane to the permeate collection manifold. The concentrated water becomes more concentrated and the diluted water becomes more pure. The most important aspect of reverse osmosis operation is to ensure the raw feed is correctly treated to prevent fouling and possible irreversible damage to the reverse osmosis membrane. 2.0 Pre Treatment Rarely, in fact, almost never is water suitable for direct entry to the membrane housing. Table 1 shows a number of contaminants present in raw water capable of causing a permanent damage to the membranes. Please note these are the main contaminants. However, other salts or metals may be encountered and would require a specific treatment.

6 4.0 Process Description and System Components 4.1 General Process This is to be read in conjunction with the General Arrangement drawing (Figure 1). The raw water is pre treated before entering the KRO3000. The first stage of pre treatment is a water softener which eliminates hardness to prevent scaling problems. The softened water flows to a carbon filter to remove the chlorine which is detrimental to RO membranes. Following the carbon filter the water passes through a 5 and 1 micron filters arrangement to remove suspended material. Filtered water is pumped via a high pressure (boost) pump through the RO housing, containing the membrane. Permeate (treated water) is sent to a break tank and the Reject (brine) is sent to the drain. A Recycle line is also provided, this line goes from the reject line to the pump suction line. The purpose of the recycle is to create a hydraulic equilibrium, correct recovery rate and system pressure. The system is completed with an inlet solenoid valve. This valve automatically turns off the water supply between the feed water and the membrane. A level control inside the tank sends a signal to the valve to close when the tank is full. Once the level in the tank is low, the level control sends another signal to the solenoid valve to permit the flow of raw water into the system. Every time the valve opens/closes the system will start/stop automatically. A Flush solenoid valve is also provided with the unit. This valve is under the control of a timer. Periodically the valve opens to flush the membrane at low pressure. This extends the periods between membrane cleans. 4.2 System Components Water Softener The water is Hard when Calcium and Magnesium are dissolved in it. These salts precipitate out of the water causing scaling problems. To prevent this situation the water is pre treated using a water softener. Raw water flows through a media (small plastic beads or chemical zeolite) covered in sodium ions. The calcium and magnesium ions are replaced with sodium ions. As sodium does not precipitate out of the water, the scaling problem is eliminated. However, the media is exhausted after certain amount of water has been treated. This is because no more sodium ions are available to swap places with calcium and magnesium. Consequently, the media needs to be regenerated. The regeneration process is very simple. The media is soaked with a Sodium Chloride (brine tank) solution. The sodium ions change places with the calcium and magnesium trapped in the media. In this way the media is being regenerated and is ready to exchange the sodium ions again. The remaining brine plus all of the calcium and magnesium is flushed through a drain. The regeneration cycles on the KRO3000 systems are programmed based on the hardness of the inlet water. 5

7 Caution: THE SALT USED FOR REGENERATION OF THE WATER SOFTENER MUST BE CROWN HG WATER SOFTENER SALT. NO OTHER SALT CAN BE USE FOR REGENERATION Carbon Filter & Cartridge Filters The carbon filter is designed to remove the chlorine from the water. Cartridge filters are designed to remove suspended material greater than 1-Micron prior to the pre treated water flows into the membrane. This protects the membrane from significant colloidal contamination. The cartridges should be renewed every 4 months, as minimum. If the raw water is significantly polluted then the cartridges should be changed in a shorter period of time. Caution: It is EXTREMELY important to renew the cartridges. Mainly the carbon filter. If any trace of chlorine goes into the housing, the membrane will be permanently damaged High-Pressure Pump High-pressure pump is one of the key components, to boost the pressure for correct membrane operating conditions RO Membrane Housing RO membrane housing is to guarantee the RO membrane can work under the conditions of normal pressure and seal arrangement. Caution: The operator should apply silicon grease on the Y type plastic ring in order to ensure proper sealing of the membrane brine seal RO Membrane RO membrane is the key component of the RO main unit and has a determinative effect on the quantity and quality of water produced. The RO membrane utilizes pressure-energy to separate larger contaminant molecules from the body of water. For a given Temperature, Pressure and feed Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), if the quantity of water produced decreases by 10%, please consult your supplier of the unit Conductivity Monitor The function of conductivity monitor is to measure conductivity condition of the permeate water. Caution: Please do not clean with strong acid and strong alkali to prevent the electrodes from being damaged Reject Control Valve The main function of the reject valve is to adjust the reject flow from the membrane. Adjust the reject valve to attain the correct recovery rate and systems pressure in conjunction with the recycle valve. Caution: Please do not turn off the reject valve. The high pressure in the membrane housing may cause irreversible damage to membrane and/or housing. 6

8 4.2.8 Recycle Control Valve The main function of the recycle valve is to adjust the flow from the membrane brine port to the booster pump suction. Adjust the recycle valve to attain the correct recovery rate and systems pressure in conjunction with the reject valve. Caution: Please do not turn off the recycle valve. The high pressure in the membrane housing may cause irreversible damage to membrane and/or housing Flush Solenoid Valve The flush solenoid valve is under the control of a timer. Periodically the valve opens to flush the membrane at low pressure. This tends to extended the periods between membrane cleans Rotameters Rotameters are provided to indicate the permeate and reject flow rates Pressure Gauges Pressure gauges are provided to monitor operating conditions and facilitate the adjustment of the recycle and reject valves Low-Pressure Switch Low-pressure switch is a safety device that in conjunction with the controller shuts down the unit in the event of low feed pressure Float Switch.A facility is provided to connect an external float switch in the permeate storage tank. When the circuit is broken between the, HIGH-LEVEL, contacts (no volt) the unit automatically stops. The unit will remain on standby until the level in the tank drops, remaking the circuit Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) If no break tank and set pump is available for the raw water supply, then a PRV is provided to guarantee the correct operating feed pressure going into the system. The PRV also protects the unit from over pressure situations that may cause damage to the equipments. The feed pressure must be between 250 to 500kPa. 5.0 Installation Guide Installation Environment and Technical Requirements 5.1 The operator should install the unit in a covered dry place, shielded from the elements to protect the electrical components and equipments generally from damage and premature deterioration. 5.2 Sufficient room should be allowed to conveniently operate and service the unit. 5.3 Consideration should be given to any additional pre treatment that may be required prior to operating the unit. 7

9 5.4 The influent water temperature must be between 5 and 45 C. 5.5 Permeate and reject lines must be no smaller than the unit outlet size. In the event of long pipe runs, increasing the pipe size diameter may be necessary. Ask for our suppliers engineer to consult on any item above that may be of concern. Caution: Please check the power supply is the correct voltage and current rating. Refer to the circuit diagram of RO main unit. 6.0 Description of Operation 6.1 Starting Up the Unit Open the reject valve and recycle valves fully Open feed water valve Turn on the power supply Depress the RO Pump button If the HIGH contacts are closed, after a short time delay the inlet valve will open and allow water to enter the system. This first stage will expel air to prevent damage to the membrane(s) [telescoping] The flush valve will be open (the high reject flow rate will not be visible in the reject rotameter) After a few minutes the flush valve will close. The reject flow rate should be at the maximum rate in the rotameter Slowly close in the reject valve and the recycle valve to attain the correct operating pressures and reject flow rates*. The correct operating conditions depend on: Feed Temperature Feed water analysis Calculated recovery Pre-treatment conditions Caution: Do not start or operate the unit with either the recycle or reject valve closed. Severe damage to the membrane and other component may result. Caution: Do not operate the system at excessive pressures. If over a period: The permeate conductivity increases by 15% or The permeate production decrease by 10% or The HP pump discharge pressure increases by 15% The influent water quality has changed or membranes require periodic cleaning. Do not increase the membrane pressure beyond 115% or permanent damage to the membranes may result. When using the unit for the first time, discard the first hour of production to drain. This will rinse out any preservative chemical used in membrane storage. 8

10 6.2 Shutting Down the Unit Normally the unit will stop when the permeate tank if full. However, should the unit be required to be stopped manually depress the RO PUMP button If the unit is not to be used for a period longer than 48 hours please consult your supplier for advice regarding preservation of the membrane (membrane fouling will occur if the unit is idle for long periods). 7.0 Maintenance 7.1 The membranes should be cleaned about every six months or whenever performance diminishes as set out above. 7.2 Please consult your supplier to arrange cleaning of the membrane(s). 7.3 The filter cartridge should be replaced every four months as minimum. 7.4 Additional pre treatment should be serviced in accordance with the manufacturer s recommendations. 7.5 Should any component such as the HP pump not be performing according to specifications, consult your supplier for servicing. 9

20 1.2 Installation All plumbing and electrical connections must conform to local codes. Inspect unit carefully for carrier shortage or shipping damage. Not in Bypass In Out In In Bypass Out Location Selection 1. The distance between the unit and a drain should be as short as possible. 2. If it is likely that supplementary water treatment equipment will be required, make certain adequate additional space is available. 3. Since salt must be added periodically to the brine tank, the location should be easily accessible. 4. Do not install any unit closer to a water heater than a total run of 10 feet (3 m) of piping between the outlet of the conditioner and the inlet to the heater. Water heaters can sometimes overheat to the extent they will transmit heat back down the cold pipe into the unit control valve. Hot water can severely damage the conditioner. A 10-foot (3-m) total pipe run, including bends, elbows, etc., is a reasonable distance to help prevent this possibility. A positive way to prevent hot water flowing from heat source to the conditioner, in the event of a negative pressure situation, is to install a check valve in the soft water piping from the conditioner. If a check valve is installed, make certain the water heating unit is equipped with a properly rated temperature and pressure safety relief valve. Also, be certain that local codes are not violated. 5. Do not locate unit where it or its connections (including the drain and overflow lines) will ever be subjected to room temperatures under 34 o F (1 o C) or over 120 o F (49 o C). 6. Do not install unit near acid or acid fumes. 7. The use of resin cleaners in an unvented enclosure is not recommended. Water Line Connection The installation of a bypass valve system is recommended to provide for occasions when the water conditioner must be bypassed for hard water or for servicing. The most common bypass systems are the Autotrol Series 1265 bypass valve (Figure 1.1) and plumbed-in globe valves (Figure 1.2). Though both are similar in function, the Autotrol Series 1265 bypass offers simplicity and ease of operation. B Y PA S S Water Conditioner Figure Autotrol Series 1265 Bypass Valve Figure Typical Globe Valve Bypass System Drain Line Connection B Y PA S S Not in Bypass Water Conditioner Water Note: Standard commercial practices are expressed here. Local codes may require changes to the following suggestions. 1. Ideally located, the unit will be above and not more than 20 feet (6.1 m) from the drain. For such installations, using an appropriate adapter fitting, connect 1/2-inch (1.3-cm) plastic tubing to the drain line connection of the control valve. 2. If the backwash flow rate exceeds 5 gpm (22.7 Lpm) or if the unit is located more than 20 feet (6.1 m) from drain, use 3/4-inch (1.9-cm) tubing for runs up to 40 feet (12.2 m). Also, purchase appropriate fitting to connect the 3/4-inch tubing to the 3/4-inch NPT drain connection. 3. If the unit is located where the drain line must be elevated, you may elevate the line up to 6 feet (1.8 m) providing the run does not exceed 15 feet (4.6 m) and water pressure at conditioner is not less than 40 psi (2.76 bar). You may elevate an additional 2 feet (61 cm) for each additional 10 psi (0.69 bar). B Y PA S S Water Conditioner In Bypass Water Conditioner Water B Y PA S S

21 4. Where the drain line is elevated but empties into a drain below the level of the control valve, form a 7-inch (18-cm) loop at the far end of the line so that the bottom of the loop is level with the drain line connection. This will provide an adequate siphon trap. 5. Where the drain empties into an overhead sewer line, a sink-type trap must be used. IMPORTANT: Never insert drain line into a drain, sewer line or trap. Always allow an air gap between the drain line and the wastewater to prevent the possibility of sewage being back-siphoned into the conditioner. Figure 1.3 Right Way Note: Standard commercial practices have been expressed here. Local codes may require changes to these suggestions. Brine Tank Connect 1/2-inch (1.3-cm) Tubing or Hose and Run to Drain Battery Back-Up Figure 1.4 Overflow Fitting Installed All 962 family controls are battery backup capable. A 9-volt rechargeable battery is available from Osmonics, P/N The battery is a VARTA, TYPE V7/8H (AccuPlus Nickle Hydride Ni-mh 9v 150 mah, No. 5522). A standard non-rechargeable battery is an option for backup but needs to be replaced periodically, Figure 1.5. Brine Line Connection It will be necessary to install the brine line for a Performa Cv softener to the brine fitting on the valve (3/8-inch NPT). Be sure all fittings and connections are tight. Overflow Line Connection In the absence of a safety overflow and in the event of a malfunction, the BRINE TANK OVERFLOW will direct overflow to the drain instead of spilling on the floor where it could cause considerable damage. This fitting should be on the side of the cabinet or brine tank. To connect overflow, locate hole on side of brine tank. Insert overflow fitting (not supplied) into tank and tighten with plastic thumb nut and gasket as shown (Figure 1.4). Attach length of 1/2-inch (1.3-cm) I.D. tubing (not supplied) to fitting and run to drain. Do not elevate overflow line higher than 3 inches (7.6 cm) below bottom of overflow fitting. Do not tie into drain line of control unit. Overflow line must be a direct, separate line from overflow fitting to drain, sewer or tub. Allow an air gap as per drain line instructions (Figure 1.3).

22 2.0 Programming and Application This section covers all aspects of programming the 962 control. Note that some parameters have a single unit of measure option such as the Rinse Time which is only entered in minutes. Other parameters have dual units such as Salt Amount which can be entered in pounds or kilograms. To select which units are active, look for a comment in the NOTES column of Table 2.1 and Table 2.2. It will reference another parameter that selects which units are active. For example, Parameter P12 (Table 2.2) selects U.S. units if it is set to 0 and metric if it is set to 1. Level I Parameters (Table 2.1) Level I Parameters are identified as those that have an LED indicator on the front panel. The green indicator illuminates next to the name of the active control setting. The end user has access to all of these parameters. In general, pressing the DOWN ARROW ( ) button displays the Level I Parameters in the following order: Time of Day Time of Regeneration Hardness Salt Amount Capacity If you continue to press the DOWN ARROW ( ) button, the parameters start over with Time of Day. Pressing the UP ARROW ( ) button displays the parameters in reverse order. Refer to Table 2.1 for a description of these parameters and the available ranges for each parameter. Press the SET button and the far right number on the display starts flashing. If you want to change this number, press the UP ARROW ( ) button to increase the number or the DOWN ARROW ( ) button to decrease the number. To skip the number without changing, press the LEFT ARROW ( ) button. When you reach the far left digit, pressing the LEFT ARROW ( ) button will return you to the far right digit. Note: If you press and hold either the UP ARROW ( ) button or the DOWN ARROW ( ) button for more than one second, the flashing number will increment or decrement at the rate of 10 counts per second. When the number is correct, press the LEFT ARROW ( ) button. The first number stops flashing and the next number starts flashing. You can only change the flashing number. Continue changing numbers until you reach the desired setting. Press the SET button. The numbers stop flashing and the control accepts the new setting. After approximately 30 seconds, the control starts alternating the display between Time of Day and Capacity. Note: If a beep sounds, the new setting is not accepted because it was outside the allowable range. The old value will be displayed. Day of Week/Time of Day Press the SET button.
