VI. Appendix
The following tables are intended as a guide to determining the flow
rates for the PWR8024 series RO systems. All flows are in gallons
per minute (GPM).
Nominal flows for systems with reject recycle and a feed water
Silt Density Index less than 3.

V. Membrane Replacement
1. Turn off the system and close the feed water shutoff valve.
2. Disconnect the membrane feed hoses by loosing the brass fit-
tings between the end of the hoses and the pressure vessel end
caps.
3. Remove the retaining rings from the pressure vessels.
4. Push the old membrane out of the vessel in the direction of the
feed flow.
5. Record the serial numbers of the new membranes.
6. Lightly lubricate the brine seals on the new membranes with
clean water.
7. I nstall the new membranes in the direction of flow with the brine
seal end going in last.
Note: Be sure to install an interconnector between the mem-
branes in each pressure vessel.
8. Lightly lubricate the end cap internal and external o-rings with
glycerin.
9. Install the end caps and secure them with the retaining rings.
10. Install the membrane feed hoses.
11. Verify that all retaining rings are installed.
12. Follow the start up procedure in section III-D.

Multiply the nominal product flow at 25° C by the temperature correction factor to
determine the flow at various other temperatures.
