4.1 Routine Maintenance of F-801 Internal RO System
GE Osmonics RO systems have been designed to operate with a minimum of operator
attention. Like all mechanical systems they will operate longer and with less trouble
when operator maintenance is performed regularly. Operator maintenance on a GE
Osmonics reverse osmosis system is limited to maintaining performance logs, cleaning
and disinfection, replacement of damaged or failed parts and periodic lubrication. The
maintenance procedures have been categorized by their frequency of action and are as
follows:
WARNING:
Prior to performing any electrical maintenance unplug the RO power cord from
the wall receptacle.
WARNING:
Do not perform maintenance while RO is being used for patient treatment.
CAUTION:
Perform system disinfection as per established facility protocol and referring to
the disinfection procedure in this manual.
NOTE:
The first part of this section provides the timelines and simple instructions for
maintenance of your RO. The specific instructions and procedures for the more
complex maintenance items are provided in the second part of this section.
4.1.1 Daily/Per Treatment Maintenance
1.
Test and record the hardness level of the feed water in the pretreatment log.
The hardness level should be less than two grains per gallon. Refer to
appropriate pretreatment manual for detailed instructions.
NOTE:
Check the softener output for hardness level at the end of the operational day to
confirm adequate softener capacity for next days treatment.
2. Observe and record salt level in the brine tank (for systems with water softener
pretreatment).
3. Observe and record the Chlorine/Chloramine concentrations in the pretreatment
log. Follow the instructions included with each test kit.
WARNING:
Take corrective action or contact your local service representative if any optional
pretreatment device fails to provide adequate treatment of feed water before
continuing with the use of the RO unit.
