COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS 29Rev CCOMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONSThe Merlin’s continuous high flow characteristics make it an economicalsolution in many light commercial applications. We consider anyapplication with more than 20 gallons (7.57 liters) per day of permeatewater to be a commercial application.Applications RestrictionsThe Merlin system is designed for light-duty applications. We do notrecommend the Merlin for any severe-service or critical applications, suchas corrosive, high-temp environments, or for applications where peoples’health/safety may be directly compromised; such as dialysispretreatment applications.PretreatmentThe Merlin works best when the inlet water has been pretreated. Themembrane element and system life will be maximized when the inletwater quality is maximized. An inlet water quality of:0 grains hardness0 ppm iron0 ppm manganese0 ppm chlorinewill result in a maximized membrane element and system life.We recommend pretreating your water in one of the following methods:Figure 21 - 20 to100 Gallons (75.7 to 378 Liter) Per Day Permeate Water UseNOTE: Applications using more than 20 gpd (75 Lpd) of permeatewater should use additional pretreatment.Merlin RO AssemblyWater Conditioner -to reduce hardness,manganese, and ironto 0 grainsSystemInletWaterReplace prefilterwith 10-micronsediment filterHigh capacity10-inch carbonpost filterTo pointof useHigh capacity20-inch carbonchlorinereduction filterto get 0 ppmchlorine
