In some very rare cases 1t may be necessary to replace the pre filter more frequently Q How long will my Carbon pre filter last before it needs to be replaced A If there is a Carbon pre filter you need to check for chlorine levels quarterly and change your filter accordingly Your Aquathin system has been designed to operate within a wide range of tap water conditions These conditions vary greatly across municipalities so it 1s difficult to state precisely how long your CARB pre filter will last 39 O 2007 2009 Aquathin Corporation All rights reserved Q How long will my reverse osmosis module last A The module s life depends on the water conditions as listed in the specification section of this manual If all these conditions are met the life of the module is generally 2 4 years If a module fails or 1ts performance becomes reduced before this time the cause can usually be traced to tap water conditions outside the specifications or failure to flush Q How do I know if there is a problem with the module A The best method is to measure the resistivity conductivity of the RO water and compare it to the tap water You can invest in a reliable and inexpensive resistivity meter available from your Authorized Aquathin Dealer or you can send them samples for analysis Poor rejection rates may also be an indication of a clogged pre filter so check that filter first A large increase in the production rate is also
