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.
