Page 17: Preparation For Start-Up
If the machine is to be run at a different location than was originally intended, a new water analysis is required for warranty considerations and should be sent to GE Osmonics for review and recommen- dations for operation of the machine. - Page 18 STEPS Recheck the function and integrity of your pretreatment equipment. Ensure that your water softener, activated carbon filters, and iron filters (where applicable) have been leaked checked, back washed, and thoroughly rinsed for service before starting up your RO unit. Attach the feed water pipe to the inlet of the machine.
- Page 19 It is also important to understand the relationship of these two valves, the pressure gauge, and your RO pump. The pump has a fixed amount of flow produced, and the valves are the control devices to distribute this fixed flow amount. The pres- sure gauge is an indicator of applied membrane element pressure a the flows set by the valves Press the Fill Button on the OIT so it is in the ON position.
- Page 20 Sheet (Section 7.3), including general operating conditions (pressures, flow, con- centrations, pH, and pretreatment conditions) and routine or special maintenance (flushing or cleaning as needed) must be kept. GE Osmonics will require these Log Sheets if a warranty question arises.

Page 21: Daily Start-Up
Daily Start-Up Check the machine to insure isolation valves are in the proper positions for operation. To turn the RO ON, press the RO button so it is in the ON position. If the alarm light is lit, push the “Alarm Reset” switch on the control enclosure and the alarm button on the OIT. -
Page 22: Machine Operation And Maintenance
A pressure drop across the filter of 0.6 barg (8.7 psig) or more during operation indicates that the pre-filters cartridge(s) need chang- ing. Use only GE Osmonics approved filters rated for 5 microns or less. Do not attempt to clean used filters. Install new replacements. - Page 23 GE Osmonics recommends cleaning at least every month to assure good membrane element performance and long membrane element life. GE Osmonics offers a full line of chemical cleaners for specific cleaning needs. Refer to the Spare Parts List (P/N 1233377).

Page 24: Draining Machine For Shipment
Draining Machine for Shipment Prior to shipping or outside storage of a GE Osmonics E-CE RO machine, the system should be cleaned with the appropriate cleaner, flushed with water, and protected from biological attack with the appropriate solution. - Page 25 Cut the bag open as close as possible to the seal at the end of the bag, so that the bag may be reused if necessary. Remove the membrane element from the bag and remove the foam protectors from each end of the membrane element. Remove the parts from the parts container (if included) and inspect.

Page 26: Membrane Element Removal
Membrane Element Removal As time progresses, the efficiency of the membrane element will be reduced. In general, the salt rejection does not change much until two or three years after installation, when operated on properly pretreated feed water and routine maintenance performed. The per- meate flow rate will begin to decline slightly after one year of operation, but can be extended with diligent flushing and cleaning of the machine. -
Page 27: Field Installed Accessories
FIELD INSTALLED ACCESSORIES Pretreatment Shutdown E-CE Series RO machines are equipped with Pretreatment Shutdown control capability. Pretreatment Shutdown is the ON/OFF control of the RO via a signal from a remote device. External Control can be used when Permeate Flush is not desired prior to RO shutdown (Permeate Flush, Section 5.2). - Page 28 RO shutdown. Level control of a permeate storage tank is GE Osmonics’ standard external control device which activates the purge shutdown. Any other remote device(s) can be used where per- meate purge is desired prior to RO shutdown.
