|---|---|
| pH | 6.5-8.5 |
| TDS, ppm (mg/l ) | <1,500 |
| Total Hardness, ppm | <500 |
| Chlorine, ppm (mg/l ) | <0.5 |
| Total Iron, ppm (mg/l ) | <0.3 |

- Note A – Assumes feed water TDS of 1,000 and temperature of 77°F (+-10%)
- Note B – Install a booster pump if pressure is low; pressure regulator is pressure exceeds upper limit.
- Note C – Using the RObust with feed water temperature between 68° & 86°F produces a lower rejection rate and higher flow rate, which yields higher TDS of purified water. Do not use where temperatures exceed 86°F.
