General Information

• Keep elements moist at all times after initial wetting.
• The customer is fully responsible for the effects of incompatible chemicals and lubricants on elements.
• Avoid static permeate-side backpressure at all times.
• Permeate obtained from the first hour of operation should be discarded.
• The use of this product in and of itself does not necessarily guarantee the removal of cysts and pathogens from water. Effective cyst and pathogen reduction is dependent on the complete system design and on the operation and maintenance of the system.
• If operating limits and guidelines given in this bulletin are not strictly followed, the warranty will be null and void.
• To prevent biological growth during prolonged system shutdowns, it is recommended that membrane elements be immersed in a preservative solution.
• This product may be subject to drinking water application restrictions in some countries; please check the application status before use and sale.
