Description
Optimize Your Residential RO System with the FR-100-02 Flow Restrictor for Consistent Water Flow Control
The FR-100-02 Flow Restrictor is engineered to deliver precise flow regulation within residential reverse osmosis (RO) systems, ensuring optimal water purification performance. Unlike generic components, this female 100 ml/min flow restrictor provides reliable consistency and durability, addressing common issues like fluctuating flow rates and system inefficiencies. Designed specifically for residential RO components, it offers a seamless fit and long-lasting functionality.
Key Benefits
- Ensures steady flow rate for consistent water purification performance
- Protects RO membranes by maintaining optimal system pressure
- Reduces water waste by accurately controlling flow volume
- Easy to install with a female connection designed for residential RO setups
- Durable construction supports long-term system reliability
- Compact design fits neatly within existing water softener and filtration systems
How It Works
The FR-100-02 Flow Restrictor regulates the flow rate of water passing through the RO system to approximately 100 milliliters per minute. By restricting the flow downstream, it helps maintain the necessary pressure differential across the RO membrane, which is critical for effective filtration.
This controlled flow not only optimizes the membrane's efficiency in removing impurities but also minimizes water wastage by preventing excessive flow that can overwhelm the system.
What to Expect
Upon installation, you will notice improved stability in your RO system’s water output, with a consistent flow rate that supports optimal filtration. In the first few days, the flow restrictor will help balance pressure and flow, reducing fluctuations common in older or mismatched components.
Over time, this flow restrictor contributes to the longevity of your RO membrane and overall system by preventing pressure spikes and uneven flow patterns. Minimal maintenance is required, as its robust build resists clogging and wear under typical residential water conditions.
What’s Inside
- Polymer Housing – Provides corrosion resistance and durability suitable for household water systems
- Precision Flow Orifice – Calibrated to restrict water flow precisely at 100 ml/min for consistent performance
- Female Connection Thread – Ensures secure and leak-free integration within residential RO component setups
How to Use
- Turn off the water supply to your RO system before installation.
- Locate the appropriate tubing section where the flow restrictor will be installed, typically on the drain line.
- Disconnect the existing component if applicable, and attach the FR-100-02 Flow Restrictor using the female connection thread.
- Ensure all fittings are tightened securely to prevent leaks but avoid overtightening.
- Turn the water supply back on and check for leaks or abnormal flow behavior.
- Monitor your system over the next few days to confirm consistent flow rates and proper operation.
