Permeate Pump (ERP 500) A non-electrical, energy-saving device which dramatically improves RO system efficiency. Permeate Pump (ERP 500) is a non-electrical device which uses only the hydraulic energy of the brine water (normally lost to the drain) to push additional purified water (i.e. “permeate”) into your pressure tank. This increased pressure allows the RO membrane to perform as if within an atmospheric tank system. Use of a Permeate Pump improves membrane life, system performance, and provides other important benefits as detailed below.
· Compact size for easy installation (3"diameter x 4"h) · ¼” quick connect fittings
·
Includes mounting clip, tubing, larger flow restrictor
Summary of Key Features · No electricity required, powered only by hydraulic energy normally lost to drain · Improves water quality by insuring membrane efficiency · Improves membrane life, prevents “TDS creep” · Decreases product tank “fill time” by up to 65% · Reduces drain wastewater by up to 80% · Increases product tank pressure (up to 95% of feed pressure) · For all membranes rated 10 - 50 GDP · Effective for inlet water pressures as low as 30 PSI · NEW FOR ERP500 MODEL -- QUIETER OPERATION
Features and Benefits 1. Improves water quality through improved membrane efficiency In typical RO systems, increased tank pressure is offset by decreased pressure across the membrane. This decreased pressure causes a substantial decline in system performance and efficiency. A Permeate Pump enhanced RO system maintains full pressure across its RO membrane, even as tank pressure reaches up to 95% of line pressure. This insures both better water quality (maximum TDS reduction) and extended membrane life. 2. Improves product tank “fill time” by up to 65% In typical RO systems, increased tank pressure results in decreased recovery rates. A Permeate Pump enhanced RO system, by automatically minimizing back pressure, accelerates recovery rates (and reduces tank refill times) by up to 65%. So in a permeate pump enhanced RO system a 50 gallon per day membrane would produce up to 82 gallons per day! 3. Reduces wastewater by up to 80%, extends component life A Permeate Pump enhanced RO system, by reducing wastewater by up to 80%, helps conserve an important natural resource while extending component life. In other words, less water going through the system overall means less wastefulness and less component wear.
