This post will highlight 5 things to consider when purchasing a reverse osmosis unit. As leaders in the industry, we want our partners to be prepared when deciding what equipment to purchase. We feel that knowledge is the best tool for making informed decisions, and we want to help by proving that knowledge to our partners. Keep reading to learn more about the 5 things you should consider when purchasing an RO system.

One of our goals at PurClean is to partner with our customers by providing up-to-date information on water treatment and our systems. One way we’ve done this is by providing a distributor resource library that includes downloadable files such as technical manuals, spec sheets, sell sheets, parts catalogs and more. To access, visit our website at www.purclean.com and scroll to the bottom of our home page. One the right side of the page you’ll find a button that says “Distributor Login” - click this button to begin the registration process. You’ll be taken to a sign in page with a bottom at the bottom that says “Not a member? Register”. Fill out this form and wait to receive a confirmation email. From here you can confirm your email and then login to the resource center.  

When deciding whether to refurbish or replace your PurClean and PurWater equipment, it’s important to review all factors to ensure the most economical and efficient option is made for the long term. Replacement can often seem more expensive than refurbishment, while refurbishment may appear to have more down time and labor. Figuring out which way to go can be tricky, so we wanted to put together a blog post to help you decide which option might be best for your specific situation. Keep reading to learn what factors should be considered when weighing refurbishment versus replacement of your unit.

• Open the basket on the reclaim and remove lid
• Press AUTO on the HMI screen and then prime the reclaim. Let the basket fill to the top with water and then press OFF. Make sure the water stays at the top of the basket. If it does not and it drains down the suction line the foot valves in the Reclaim Tanks will need to be checked.
