MAXCAP RO/DIMAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENT

Procedure:

1.When the reading on the right-hand TDS meter (set to “IN”) displays 75% of the reading on the left-hand TDS meter (set to “OUT”), it is time to replace the MAXCAP DI cartridge.

2.Follow the directions on page 8 to replace the MAXCAP DI cartridge.

3.Make sure the DI cartridge is installed in the correct direction as marked on the cartridge shell and be sure that the top seal is securely attached to the top of the cartridge.

4.Tighten the cartridge housing by rotating it clockwise and hand tighten.

5.Turn on system and check for leaks.

FLOW RESTRICTOR REMOVAL, ADJUSTMENT

AND REPLACEMENT

1.Locate the yellow concentrate tubing (Fig. C ). Remove the tubing from its push-fitting at the membrane as follows:

a.)

Firmly depress and hold the push-fitting collar down with your

 

thumbnail.

b.)

While the push-fitting collar is depressed, pull the tubing straight

 

out of the push-fitting. Once the tubing is removed, release the collar.

2.Carefully remove the flow restrictor assembly, now visible as a plastic insert In the end of the yellow tubing (Fig. D). You may use an object such as a dull knife to help pry the flow restrictor insert from the end of the tubing. The entire flow restrictor (consisting of the insert coller and thin capillary tubing) may then be gently extracted.

Note: Take care not to crush or otherwise damage the delicate capillary tubing.

3.Refer to the Flow Restrictor Tables (Fig. B). Find the table that represents the Flow Restrictor Assembly for the system that you have. Find the product flow rate in the left-most column and the length of the flow restrictor in the right-most column.

Example: If your Flow Restrictor Assembly is for a 150 GPD Membrane and the product flow rate is 170 mL/Min, then the flow restrictor length should be cut to 6.5 inches (16.5 mm). 170 is about halfway between 164 (7 in.) and 175 (6 in.).

4.Using a new single-edge razor blade, carefully measure and then cut the flow restrictor to the total length indicated.

5.Re-insert the flow restrictor assembly into the yellow tubing and firmly re-seat the insert into the end of the yellow tubing by carefully pressing on the insert with your thumbnail. Care should be taken not to crush or other- wise damage the end of the capillary tubing protruding from the end of the insert.
