Step 7: System Start-Up (Please see page 16 in Owner’s Manual for system start-up instructions)
Congratulations! You have successfully installed the RO-PERM System.
How Permeate Pump Works:
The permeate pump has a built-in Auto-Shut-Off (ASO) function, this equals to the ASO valve on a
non-pumped system, so you don’t see a separate ASO valve on the system.
The pump operates by collecting the RO’s waste water, stores it up in the pump chamber for a few
seconds (interval depends water pressure) until sufficient pressure is built up, then uses that pressure to
spurt the pure water into the tank. The pump will make clicking and spurting sounds. If the sound is
too loud, just add some buffering material around the pump, or put the RO system in a cabinet where
the sound is less audible.
Permeate Pump Diagram
Permeate In: Pure water enters pump from Membrane pure water output
Permeate Out: Pure water exit pump to tank
Brine In: Brine/ wastewater enters pump from Membrane waste line
Brine Out: Brine/ wastewater exit pump to drain pipe
Arrow: Make sure “arrow” on pump is pointing upward after installation.
Option: Multiple Outputs - Add Shut Off Valve:
If your RO is feeding several output points (icemaker, fridges, bathroom), you should add a Shut-Off valve to
each output line (except the RO spigot line). This way, if you ever need to diagnose a problem in the system, you
can easily shut off these lines to isolate the water flow and do accurate troubleshooting.
