S2016-6, Microline Drain Restrictr, 50 GPD, Cream, S2116-6

Efficient Microline Drain Restrictr for Residential RO Systems – Ensure Optimal 50 GPD Flow Control

Designed specifically for residential reverse osmosis (RO) systems, the S2016-6 Microline Drain Restrictr offers precise flow regulation to maintain system efficiency and extend membrane life. Unlike generic drain restrictors, this cream-colored, compact component from Water Softener Plus is engineered for consistent 50 gallons per day (GPD) output, ensuring your RO system operates smoothly without waste or pressure issues.

Key Benefits

• Maintains precise flow rate to protect RO membranes from damage and premature wear.
• Prevents excessive wastewater by controlling drain flow, enhancing overall system efficiency.
• Compact and lightweight design for easy installation in tight residential RO setups.
• Durable construction ensures long-lasting performance without frequent replacements.
• Compatible with most residential RO units, making it a versatile component for water softener plus systems.
• Cream color coding simplifies identification and replacement in multi-component systems.

How It Works

The Microline Drain Restrictr regulates the flow of wastewater from your reverse osmosis system by restricting the drain line to a precise 50 GPD rate. This controlled restriction balances the pressure inside the RO membrane, allowing purified water to be produced efficiently while preventing excess water from flushing down the drain.

By ensuring optimal backpressure, this component helps maintain the membrane’s integrity and overall system performance, reducing wear and minimizing water waste in your residential RO setup.

What to Expect

Once installed, you’ll notice your RO system maintains a steady and efficient water production rate with reduced drain water. In the first days after installation, the system will stabilize as the flow restriction balances pressure across the membrane. This leads to improved water purity and consistent output volume.

Over the longer term, the Microline Drain Restrictr’s durable design requires minimal maintenance, helping to preserve your RO system’s lifespan and reliability. Routine checks during standard system servicing ensure it remains free of blockages or wear.

What’s Inside

• Precision Flow Orifice – Calibrated to restrict drain flow accurately at 50 GPD, essential for system balance.
• Cream Polypropylene Housing – Lightweight yet robust material resists corrosion and chemical exposure common in water treatment.
• Standard Microline Fittings – Compatible with typical 1/4" tubing used in residential RO components for easy integration.

How to Use

1. Turn off your RO system and relieve pressure by opening the faucet.
2. Locate the drain line tubing connected to your RO unit’s membrane housing.
3. Disconnect the existing drain restrictor or drain line at the point of installation.
4. Insert the S2016-6 Microline Drain Restrictr inline with the drain tubing, ensuring secure fittings on both ends.
5. Check for leaks and proper seating, then turn your RO system back on and allow it to stabilize.
6. Monitor system performance to confirm consistent flow and no abnormal noise or pressure fluctuations.

FAQ & Safety

Is this drain restrictor compatible with all residential RO systems?
It is compatible with most residential RO systems using standard 1/4" microline tubing, but always check your system specifications before purchasing.

How often should I replace the Microline Drain Restrictr?
Under normal conditions, it requires replacement only if you notice reduced flow or damage during routine system maintenance.

Can I install this restrictor myself?
Yes, installation is straightforward with basic tools and follows similar steps to replacing standard drain restrictors.

Does the restrictor affect water taste or quality?
No, it only controls drain flow and does not impact the purified water output quality.

Are there any operating temperature limits?
This component is designed for typical residential RO system operating temperatures, generally between 40°F and 100°F (4°C to 38°C).
