INTRODUCTION

Your CT-Series system is a durable piece of equipment which, with proper care, will last

for many years. This User’s Manual outlines installation, operation, maintenance, and

troubleshooting details vital to the sustained performance of your system.

The test results which are included with this User’s Manual indicate your system’s

permeate (product) and concentrate (waste) test results.

If your system is altered at the site of operation or if the feed water conditions change,

please contact your local dealer or distributor to determine the proper recovery for your

application.

NOTE: IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THE MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY, AN

OPERATING LOG MUST BE MAINTAINED AND COPIES WILL NEED TO BE SENT TO

YOUR LOCAL DEALER OR DISTRIBUTOR FOR REVIEW.

NOTE: PRIOR TO OPERATING OR SERVICING THE REVERSE OSMOSIS

SYSTEM, THIS USER’S MANUAL MUST BE READ AND FULLY UNDERSTOOD. KEEP

THIS AND OTHER ASSOCIATED INFORMATION FOR FUTURE REFERENCE AND

FOR NEW OPERATORS OR QUALIFIED PERSONNEL NEAR THE SYSTEM.

SAFETY

The Safety section of this User’s Manual outlines the various safety headings used

throughout this manual’s text and are enhanced and defined below:

NOTE: INDICATES STATEMENTS THAT PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION AND

CLARIFICATION.

CAUTION: INDICATES STATEMENTS THAT ARE USED TO IDENTIFY

CONDITIONS OR PRACTICES THAT COULD RESULT IN EQUIPMENT OR OTHER

PROPERTY DAMAGE.

WARNING: INDICATES STATEMENTS THAT ARE USED TO IDENTIFY

CONDITIONS OR PRACTICES THAT COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR EVEN

DEATH.

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE; REMOVE ANY CAUTION, WARNING,

OR OTHER DESCRIPTIVE LABELS FROM THE SYSTEM.

FEED WATER & OPERATION SPECIFICATIONS

Nothing has a greater effect on a reverse osmosis system than the feed water quality.

NOTE: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO MEET THE MINIMUM FEED WATER

REQUIREMENTS. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL CAUSE THE MEMBRANES TO FOUL

AND VOID THE MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY.

OPERATING LIMITS

NOTE: HIGHER TDS AND/OR LOWER TEMPERATURES WILL REDUCE THE

SYSTEM’S PRODUCTION.

REJECTION, RECOVERY, & FLOW RATES

CT-Series reverse osmosis systems are designed to produce permeate water at the

capacities indicated by the suffix in the system’s name under the conditions listed

above. For example, the CT-4000 produces 4000 gallons per day of permeate water at

the listed operating test conditions.

The amount of total dissolved solids (TDS) rejected by the membrane is expressed as a

percentage. For example, a 98.5% rejection rate means that 98.5% of total dissolved

solids do not pass through the membrane. To calculate the % rejection, use the

following formula:

% Rejection = [(Feed TDS – Product TDS) / Feed TDS] x 100

Example:

98.5% = [(550-8.25)/550] x 100

NOTE: ALL TDS FIGURES MUST BE EXPRESSED IN THE SAME UNITS,

TYPICALLY PARTS PER MILLION (PPM) OR MILLIGRAMS PER LITER (MG/L).

CT-Series reverse osmosis systems are designed to reject up to 98.5% NaCl, unless

computer projections have been provided or stated otherwise.

The amount of permeate water recovered for use is expressed as a percentage. To

calculate % recovery, use the following formula:

% Recovery = (Product Water Flow Rate / Feed Water Flow Rate) x 100

Example:

40% = (2.78/7.0) x 100

NOTE: ALL FLOW RATES MUST BE EXPRESSED IN THE SAME UNITS,

TYPICALLY GALLONS PER MINUTE (GPM).

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS & OPERATION GUIDELINES

PLUMBING

The membranes and high pressure pumps used on CT-Series systems require a

continuous flow of water with a minimum feed pressure of 35 psi, not to exceed 105°F.

FEED WATER CONNECTION

1. Locate the 1” FNPT Solenoid Valve feed water inlet.

(Figure 1A, Page 14)

2. Attach the inlet piping to the 1” FNPT Solenoid Valve feed water inlet.

3. Be certain that all of the components of the feed water are soluble at the

concentrations attained in the system.

NOTE: FEED LINE MUST BE MINIMUM 3/4” INCH.

PERMEATE (PRODUCT WATER) CONNECTION

Locate the 1” connection labeled permeate and attach to storage tank. Ensure that the

permeate water can flow freely with no backpressure. Backpressure can cause

irreversible damage to the membrane elements. The 1” permeate line can be run to the

holding tank with PVC fittings, or other FDA approved materials. This is so the material

being used does not dissolve into the permeate water.

CAUTION THE PH OF THE REVERSE OSMOSIS PERMEATE WATER WILL

TYPICALLY BE 1-2 POINTS LOWER THAN THE FEED WATER PH. A LOW PH CAN

BE VERY AGGRESSIVE TO SOME PLUMBING MATERIALS SUCH AS COPPER

PIPING.

CONCENTRATE (WASTE WATER) CONNECTION

Locate the 1” connection labeled concentrate and attach to a drain. Run the concentrate

line to an open drain in a free and unrestricted manner (no backpressure).

CAUTION: ANY RESTRICTIONS OR BLOCKAGE IN THE DRAIN LINE CAN

CAUSE BACKPRESSURE, WHICH WILL INCREASE THE SYSTEM’S OPERATING

PRESSURE. THIS CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE SYSTEM’S MEMBRANES AND

COMPONENTS.

ELECTRICAL

The motor used on the CT-Series systems are pump and motor combination. The motor

is available in 220/380/460 Volt, 50/60 Hertz, 1 Phase/3 phase. Each CT-Series system

is equipped with a 5 foot electrical cord.

Ensure that the electrical circuit supplying the system is compatible with the

requirements of the specific CT model you are installing.

NOTE: IT’S RECOMMENDED THAT A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN WIRE YOUR

SYSTEM IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL AND NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODES

(NEC).

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, THE

INCOMING POWER SUPPLY MUST INCLUDE A PROTECTIVE EARTH GROUND.

CT-Series systems are typically controlled with a liquid level switch in a storage tank.

The liquid level switch turns the system on when the water level in the tank drops, and

off when the tank is full. Liquid level switches can be obtained by your local dealer or

distributor. If a liquid level switch is to be used, install it at this time.

PRE-FILTRATION

CT-Series systems are supplied with a 5 micron sediment filter, 10 micron carbon block

and a 1 micron sediment filter. Change the cartridge once a month or when a 10-15 psi

differential exists between the two pre-filters. Ask your local dealer or distributor about

Pre-Filtration systems, if required.

NOTE: THE SYSTEM MUST BE OPERATED ON FILTERED WATER ONLY.

PUMP

The pump type used on the CT-Series systems is multi-stage centrifugal carbon steel

pumps. These pumps are also available as an option in stainless steel.

Follow these guidelines to ensure proper operation of the pump:

•The pump must NEVER be run dry. Operating the pump without sufficient feed

water will damage the pump.

•ALWAYS feed the pump with filtered water. The pump is susceptible to damage

from sediment and debris.

•If any damage occurs to your system’s pump a re-build kit may be available.

Contact your local dealer or distributor and inform them of your system’s model

and pump size.

MOUNTING

The free standing system should be bolted down in compliance with local regulation

standards or securely fastened.

MEMBRANE ELEMENTS

CT-Series reverse osmosis systems come pre-loaded with Thin Film Composite (TFC)

HF1 High Flow Low Energy membranes, unless otherwise specified. General

membrane element performance characteristics are listed on the next page.
