1 Rating at 50 psi, 77°F, 500 mg/L TDS influent, without storage tank.
2 May vary with pressure. See “Replace Flow Control”, page 10, for all hard water applications and applications where TDS exceeds 1000 mg/L (ppm).
3 Arsenic and Perchlorate cartridge must be installed after the RO membrane and system must have a Performance
Indicator Device (PID) installed to track gallon usage.

Notes
1. See the “Performance & Technical Information” section for all applications where TDS exceeds 1000 ppm. A booster is strongly recommended to improve the reduction of TDS. Higher pressures will help maintain the membrane’s maximum rejection performance.
2. The reverse osmosis membrane used in these systems may be damaged by chlorine. These systems include activated carbon filters which protect the membranes by reducing chlorine. Influent chlorine should not exceed 3 mg/L.
3. A softener is strongly recommended for water over 10 gpg hard.
Installing a system without a softener on water with hardness higher than 10 gpg will reduce the life of the membrane.
4. Additional information on factors that affect RO performance can be found in the “Performance & Technical Information” section.
