TACTICAL WATER PURIFICATION SYSTEM (TWPS)
PREPARATION FOR USE AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
OTHER SET-UPS - OPERATION UNDER UNUSUAL CONDITIONS
HOT WEATHER CONDITION SET-UP
Flow rates and other operational characteristics of the TWPS change when the source water
temperatures exceed 85 degrees F. Maximum temperatures are as follows:
Maximum deployment temperature: 120 degrees F
Maximum storage temperature: 160 degrees F
Maximum RO element storage temperature: 110 degrees F
Maximum source water temperature 110 degrees F
Operation in direct sunlight during extremely hot weather should be avoided. Raw water, MF feed and
distribution pump motors can overheat in extreme heat conditions. To the extent possible, position the
TWPS platform and pump skids in the shade or otherwise protect them from direct sunlight.
SANDY / DUSTY CONDITION SET-UP
During TWPS set up and operation in a sandy and/or dusty environment, observe the following:
Make sure the grounding rod is secure. Desert and sandy soils have a low moisture content
making low resistance grounding difficult.
Make sure the zippers on the product water distribution tanks are closed.
Keep the RO feed tank lid closed.
Keep the OCP and PDP covers closed and secured.
Keep lids on chemical containers tightly closed.
Keep all lubricants tightly sealed and all lubrication points clean.
Perform lubrication procedures more frequently than listed in the lubrication schedules.
Clean sand and dust from hose adaptors, hose connections, and air fittings as often as possible.
Clean sand and dust off all components as often as possible.
Use the fine brush from the tool box to clean dust and sand out of connectors, terminals and dust
caps before making or capping a connection.
Install the dust cap provided with connectors and terminals whenever a connector is
disconnected from its terminal.
