What Are the Common Causes of Abnormal Conductivity in Ultrapure Water Equipment?

Conductivity is an indicator of the quality of the effluent from ultrapure water equipment. If the conductivity is below standard, the effluent quality will also be substandard. Therefore, when there is a conductivity problem, in addition to notifying after-sales personnel, we can also try to find the cause ourselves. Solving this problem will improve efficiency in daily use. So, what are the common causes of conductivity problems, and how can they be resolved? Let's take a closer look:

1. Water Quality Issues: Changes in the influent water quality may cause abnormal conductivity. If the increased conductivity of the product water is due to an abnormally high influent conductivity, the influent conductivity can be adjusted. Once the influent conductivity decreases, the product water conductivity will return to normal.

2. Operational Issues: Are there frequent sudden power outages during use? This can easily cause back pressure on the reverse osmosis membrane, leading to membrane rupture and abnormal product water conductivity after restarting. A ruptured reverse osmosis membrane should be replaced promptly.

3. Reverse Osmosis Membrane Fouling: Fouling of the reverse osmosis membrane due to contamination. This situation can also cause abnormal conductivity and substandard effluent water quality. Once reverse osmosis membrane fouling occurs, it should be cleaned or replaced promptly. Generally, reverse osmosis membranes need to be replaced after a certain period of use. If the conductivity remains above the standard for an extended period, this is a signal to replace consumables.

The conductivity of ultrapure water equipment indicates whether the machine is operating normally. Abnormal conductivity proves that the ultrapure water equipment is also malfunctioning. In this case, the cause should be identified and the problem resolved. We can also contact after-sales personnel for assistance. UPU has offices throughout the country, providing comprehensive pre-sales, sales, and after-sales service to help you solve problems promptly.
