Easy steps to troubleshoot RO and DI water systems

How much downtime can you afford?
If you are managing an inline water filtration system such as a reverse osmosis system (RO) or a Deionized water system (DI), then you probably have instrumentation installed in order to monitor the water quality. You rely on the instruments to give accurate and reliable readings, but what happens when the water quality measurements suddenly change? If, For example, the conductivity or TDS numbers are substantially higher or the resistivity reading drops to a low number over night.
There are a few things you can do to validate your filtration system and pinpoint the issue. Some RO and DI water systems have sample valves or ports after each filter, so you can draw a water sample and test it. If your water system is set up this way, lucky you! If not, you should consider installing a sample valve or port after each filter in order to test the water quality and performance of the filters.
If your water quality measurements suddenly change, the first thing you can do is use a reliable and accurate handheld instrument to test the water quality and compare the readings to your inline instrumentation. Conductivity or TDS measurements are a good indicator of changes in water quality Resistivity measurements are good for DI water systems. Draw a sample of water from your system as close as possible to the location of your inline sensor or probe. If the measurements from your handheld and your inline monitor match then you can begin to troubleshoot your RO or DI water system. If the readings don’t match, you need to troubleshoot your inline monitor to resolve the issue. Contact the supplier of your inline monitor and explain to them that you have verified the water quality of your system with an independent handheld instrument. From there you can diagnose the problem with the inline monitor.
Troubleshoot your RO and DI water filtration systems
To pinpoint the problem, test at various points throughout your water system. Take conductivity/TDS measurements and record the readings in a data log to identify trends in your water quality. This can help you to evaluate filter and system performance in the future. If you already have these readings, then troubleshooting should be quick and easy.You may be reading this right now because you need to troubleshoot and are not exactly sure where to begin or you don’t have measurement records. In that case, you’ll need to begin sampling the water to identify the issue with the water quality.
If you have previously recorded measurements logged…
Sample the water before and after each filter, compare the conductivity/TDS measurements to your previous measurements and see if there is a big difference. If so, you may have identified the problem. Continue to do this until you have checked each filter. Replace the ones that are out of performance specification.
If you DO NOT have previous recorded measurements logged…
Sample the water before and after each filter. Check with the filter manufacturer about the performance specification for each filter. They should be able to tell you the rejection rate, throughput, etc. From there you can determine if the filter is performing to spec based on the before/after measurements. Once you have identified which filter(s) is out of spec, you can begin replacing or changing them.
if you do not have a handheld instrument to validate your RO or DI water system, we recommend the Ultrameter II 6P. If you don’t need to test pH or ORP, then get the Ultrameter II 4P. These meters have been used to validate various water systems worldwide, and are renowned for their accuracy, reliability, and ease of use.

Dialysis Clinic Water Sample Process
If you are setting up a new dialysis clinic, or just revising internal guidelines, this may help you to understand the full process, and become more familiar with water treatment in the dialysis clinic.
If you are setting up a new dialysis clinic, or just revising internal guidelines, this may help you to understand the full process, and become more familiar with water treatment in the dialysis clinic.
Check the incoming water source
Your clinic’s water source should be tested periodically to make sure that the level of chemical contamination meets AAMI (Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation) standards. Send a sample of your water to a qualified lab that can analyze the samples according to AAMI standards. Since dialysis clinics are required to meet AAMI standards at all times, you should check the water about every quarter to ensure that you are meeting AAMI standards. Samples for product water chemical analysis should be drawn from a sample port immediately after the RO or DI system. You can then determine if your water filtration system is degrading, or if there are changes to the incoming source based on past analysis trends.
When and Where to Test the Water:
When collecting samples from your water treatment system, be sure to run the water from sample ports for at least one minute at normal pressure and flow rate before collecting the water sample. Do not disinfect the sample port – this could lead to false readings. If you must disinfect, use alcohol instead of bleach, and only take a sample once the alcohol has completely dried. Use a reliable, accurate, and simple instrument to measure samples. If you do not already have an instrument, you can find some here that are designed specifically for dialysis clinics:

Proper Testing Protocol
To properly test the system, take samples from the product water distribution pipes at the following locations:
Site 1: Take a sample at the point where the water leaves the RO machine, before it enters the holding tank (Indirect System), or before it goes to the treatment room to provide water for dialysis machines (Direct System).
Site 2: If an RO water holding tank is present, take the sample at the point where the water leaves the tank.
Site 3: Take one at the end of the return line of the RO water distribution loop, whether it is returning to the RO or a water holding tank. If a bacteria filter is installed anywhere in the system, take samples from sample ports both pre and post filter.
Site 4: Take one at the point where water enters into the dialyzer reprocessing system, whether it is a manual or automated system. (Note: If a sample port is not present, install one.)
Site 5: Take one at a point where water enters equipment used to prepare bicarbonate and acid concentrate. (Note: If a sample port is not present one should be installed.)
Site 6: Take another at the point where the dialysis machine is hooked up to the product water loop. If a dialysis machine is consistently attached to that location, you may culture the machine instead of the water outlet.
Site 7: If your facility uses softened, dechlorinated water as a backup source, you must perform cultures and a Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) test on this water, because the RO is the primary source of bacterial protection for the patients.
