Field notes from maintenance practice

Normalise mentally for temperature and flow: cold water is more viscous and needs more pressure for the same output, so a winter rise can be partly thermal. The real fouling signal is pressure creeping up (or permeate dropping) at constant temperature โ€” that's when to clean (CIP); leave it and you bake on scale that no cleaning removes, shortening expensive membrane life. On an RO system, a rising feed pressure needed to hold the same permeate flow is the classic fouling/scaling signature โ€” the membrane is clogging โ€” while a falling differential or rising salt passage flags membrane damage; the pressure trend is the membrane's health chart.

Consistency makes the numbers meaningful: measure at the same point, with the same instrument, at sensible intervals (continuous where the risk is high, spot-checks where it is low). The in-range percentage is the metric to watch โ€” a band that quietly drifts from 100% toward 95% is telling you something is changing before any single reading alarms.

About RO Membrane Pressure Dashboard

This dashboard turns scattered feed pressure checks for a reverse-osmosis water system into a monitored series: log a reading whenever you measure and it tracks the latest value, the average, the min/max range, the percentage of readings inside the acceptable band and the number of excursions โ€” the everyday telemetry picture, computed in your browser with no logger subscription. The default acceptable band is 8โ€“15 bar example feed pressure for brackish-water RO (system-specific; seawater RO runs far higher).

How to use RO Membrane Pressure Dashboard

  1. 1Log a reading whenever you measure โ€” each is timestamped and stored in your browser.
  2. 2The dashboard shows latest, average, min/max, in-range % and an excursion count against the acceptable band.
  3. 3Watch the sparkline and the in-range percentage โ€” a falling in-range % is your early warning before a hard excursion.

Frequently asked questions

What is the acceptable feed pressure range for a reverse-osmosis water system?+

The default band is 8โ€“15 bar example feed pressure for brackish-water RO (system-specific; seawater RO runs far higher). Treat it as a sensible starting point โ€” your own specification, regulator, equipment manual or product datasheet sets the authoritative limits, and you can read your true band straight off the worst case those documents allow. Edit the readings against whatever band applies to you.

Rising RO pressure โ€” clean the membrane or replace it?+

Clean first. A gradual rise in feed pressure (or drop in permeate flow) at steady temperature usually means foulants or scale on the membrane surface โ€” a clean-in-place (CIP) with the right chemistry (acidic for scale, alkaline/surfactant for organics and biofilm) often restores most performance. Replace only when CIP no longer recovers output, or when salt passage climbs sharply (a sign of membrane damage or seal/o-ring failure, not foulants). Catching the pressure rise early here is what makes cleaning work โ€” neglected scale hardens and permanently cuts membrane life.

How often should I log feed pressure readings?+

Match the interval to the consequence and the rate of change: where an excursion spoils product or risks safety, log continuously (or as often as you can sample); where it is merely informative, daily or per-shift spot checks suffice. The in-range % and excursion count only mean something if your sampling is regular โ€” sparse, irregular readings hide the excursions between them.

Is my logged data private?+

Yes โ€” every reading is stored in this browser's localStorage on your device and nothing is uploaded to any server, which also makes the dashboard usable on sites with strict data policies. For shared, audit-grade records across a team or for regulatory retention, export the values into your own system.
