Q: Which is superior, a single 1*400GPD or two 2*200GPD units?
A: Opt for the 200GPD! Enjoy a more efficient production with reduced glue usage, superior salt rejection, and enhanced water flow.
Q: When should membrane elements undergo cleaning?
A: Membrane elements require cleaning upon encountering any of these situations:
A decline of 10-15% in the normalized permeate flow.
An increase of 10-15% in the normalized permeate's total dissolved solids (TDS).
A rise of 10-15% in the normalized pressure drop between feed and reject streams.
Q: What are the steps to resolve blockage in RO membranes?
A: 1. Begin by confirming whether the home RO System's membrane is genuinely blocked.
2. Investigate the local water quality to determine if scale primarily consists of calcium and magnesium salts.
3. Mix either a 10% hydrochloric acid solution or a diluted descaling detergent, along with a specialized RO membrane cleaning agent, based on scale composition. Submerge the RO membrane in this solution for 24 hours.
4. After soaking, thoroughly rinse the RO membrane using water produced by ultrafiltration. During flushing, ensure the pure water outlet is closed, opening only the wastewater outlet.
Q: Why does the RO membrane experience blockage after just one or two months?
A: 1. High salt content in raw water results in excessive scaling.
2. An overabundance of organic matter fouls and clogs the RO membrane.
3. Elevated RO film recovery rate.
4. Without a flushing function, long-term use leads to high-concentration brine deposits in the RO membrane shell.
