Factory Acceptance Checks for a Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment System
Buyers should define measurable pass or fail checks for a reverse osmosis system before shipment, using the stated nominal permeate capacity and reference dimensions as starting points for discussion, not as guaranteed supplied values.
A buyer specifying a reverse osmosis water treatment system should decide before the factory acceptance test whether pass or fail will be judged on a short witnessed run or on a documented test record. That choice shapes the request for quotation, the demonstration agenda, and the acceptance criteria.
Ask the supplier to state the test conditions for the nominal permeate capacity of 1,000 L/h: feed water quality, temperature, pressure, and recovery assumptions. Then agree on how permeate flow and quality will be measured, how long the run must last, and what tolerance counts as a pass. Confirm that the reference dimensions of 3,000 × 800 × 1,650 mm are treated as catalog reference values and ask for the actual dimensions of the offered unit, including connections and clearance.
For the demonstration, request a checklist covering pump and valve operation, leak checks, instrument readings, alarm responses, and control sequence. Define who records results and what happens if a reading falls outside the agreed range.
Before requesting a quote, confirm with the supplier which tests are witnessed, what test water and instruments are used, how results are documented, and whether the offered model's dimensions and capacity match the reference values.
