11). Premature Membrane Failure:

There are 4 common causes that lead to premature membrane failure:

1) Failing to replace the 3 pre-filters as frequently as needed:

If you’re on city water: The over-depleted carbon pre-filters allow the chlorine to get through

and damage the membrane.

If you’re on private well water: The overloaded pre-filters allow excessive sediments and par-

ticles to get through and clog up the membrane surface.

2) Your water source may contain certain organic or chemical compounds that form a slimy film

which covers up the membrane’s surface. This will disable the membrane prematurely. In this

case, adding a UV light could help extend the membrane’s life.

3) Your water source is extremely hard. Our RO systems can treat Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) up

to 2000ppm. Hard minerals are a part of the TDS Composite. If the TDS in your water ex-

ceeds 2000ppm, it will clog up the membrane quickly.

4) If the waste water flow is somehow restricted or blocked, the membrane will be damaged pre-

maturely. So please check to make sure the waste water is draining off properly.
