6. Common Questions (FAQ)
6.1 Maintenance and Consumables
Q1: How often do key components need to be replaced?A1: Precision filter elements (3-6 months), anti-scaling chemicals (monthly replenishment), RO membranes (3+ years), quartz sand (2-3 years), and activated carbon (1-2 years). Cycles depend on raw water quality. For replacement parts, visit [accessory supporting equipment].
Q2: What triggers the system to shut down automatically?A2: The system shuts down when the pressure difference exceeds 0.2 MPa, indicating filter/membrane fouling that requires cleaning or replacement.
6.2 Warranty and Support
Q1: What is covered under the 12-month warranty?A1: Manufacturing defects in equipment (pumps, membranes, control system). Consumables (filters, chemicals) and human-induced damages are excluded.
Q2: Can Hella Water provide technical support for overseas customers?A2: Yes. 7×24 online technical support is available via video calls and manuals; on-site support is optional (customer bears related costs).
6.3 Installation and Operation
Q1: Is the system easy to install for non-professionals?A1: Yes. The skid-mounted design and online video guides allow installation by local technicians; no complex civil engineering required.
Q2: What is the recommended operating time per day?A2: The system can run 24 hours/day, but 18 hours/day is recommended to extend membrane and pump lifespan.
6.4 System Performance
Q1: Can the system handle raw water with higher TDS than specified?A1: The system is designed for raw water TDS ≤2000 mg/L. For TDS >2000 mg/L, a specialized high-pressure RO membrane upgrade is available.
Q2: What is the impact of temperature on water production?A2: Water production decreases by 2-3% for every 1℃ drop in temperature (based on 25℃ standard). Heating equipment is recommended for raw water temperature <10℃.
