NOTES
Changes in operating variables are beyond the control Alamo Water Refiners, Inc. The end user
is responsible for the safe operation of this equipment. The suitability of the product water for
any specific application is the responsibility of the end user.
Successful long-term performance of a RO system depends on proper operation and maintenance
of the system. This includes the initial system startup and operational startups and shutdowns.
Preventing fouling or scaling of the membranes is not only a matter of system design, but also a
matter of proper operation. Record keeping and data normalization is required in order to know
the actual system performance and to enable corrective measures when necessary. Complete and
accurate records are also required in case of a system performance warranty claim.
Changes in the operating parameters of a RO system can be caused by changes in the feed water,
or can be a sign of trouble. Maintaining an operation and maintenance log is crucial in
diagnosing and preventing system problems. For your reference, a typical log sheet is included
in this manual.
