3. Temperature
This machine should be kept in an environment between 40° F and 108º F (4.44° and 42.22°). Exposing the
machine to freezing temperatures will irreparably damage the components.
4. Mineral Content
Pretreatment of incoming water is recommended if hardness exceeds 150 ppm or 9 grains per gallon, or if
iron levels exceed 0.05 ppm. Membrane will still function with high mineral content water, but yield will drop
substantially, membrane cleaning is required more frequently, and membrane life will be shortened significantly,
increasing overall operating costs.
D. FEED WATER and DRAIN PLUMBING
1. Inlet and outlet of the machine are 1/2” N.P.T., female threads. Use for connection only sanitary plumbing
materials appropriate for drinking water.
NOTE: Minimum 3/4” N.P.T. inlet water supply.
2. Drain outlet should have a minimum of a 2-inch (5.08 cm) air gap at the point of discharge. Follow ALL
applicable plumbing codes when making connections.
