Aquatec’s original Permeate Pump (ERP1000) is
a simple, yet revolutionary, device. Powered only by the hydraulic energy of
brine water usually lost to the drain (i.e. no electricity required), the
Permeate Pump forces product water into the storage tank, reducing membrane back
pressure and maximizing available feed pressure. These pumps dramatically
improve the efficiency of RO water production, reducing wastewater by up to 80%.
Permeate Pumps can also bring storage tanks up to line pressure and then shut
the system down when these tanks reach capacity, eliminating the need for a
hydraulic shut-off valve. Other benefits include higher delivery pressures,
faster RO water production, superior water quality, and extended filter/membrane
life. The ERP1000 can easily be retrofitted to upgrade
existing R.O. systems.

How does the permeatepump work?
The ERP 1000 Permeate pump is using the energy of the
brine Water of your RO- system, to pump the permeate into your pressure Tank. It
does not require electricity for that. It is just using hydraulic energy that
normally goes to drain unused.
This way, it isolates your Tank from the membrane and lets your membrane perform
like in an atmospheric tank system.
Permeate Pump FAQ
Q. What
maximum production membrane can be used with the ERP 1000?
A. ERP 1000 will handle permeate production of 100
gallons per day.
Q. My
holding tank will not develop enough pressure to supply remote locations
A. A Permeate Pump allows more water to be forced into
the air bladder holding tank, thereby creating higher pressures, providing an
automatic shut off valve (ASV) has not stopped the flow of feed water.
Q. My permeate pump is not working, because I cannot hear it clicking?
A. First, determine it is not working by removing the tube connection to the
holding tank. If permeate is not being ejected from the permeate out port, then
check to see if permeate water is being produced by removing the tube connection
from the membrane. Finally, remove the brine connection to see if brine water is
being supplied to the pump.
Q. Is there an Automatic Shut-off valve for use with the Permeate Pump?
A. Yes. The ASV 2000 was designed to allow more water to be stored in the
pressurized holding tank before the feed water valve closes.
Q. Is an Automatic Shut-off Valve required?
A. We recommend using a high volume shut off valve with our Permeate Pumps to
avoid “TDS creep” during startup each time a small quantity of water is
produced.
