What is an auto shut-off valve and flow restrictor and why do I need them on my RO?

Advanced Water Filters
The auto shut-off valve and flow restrictor combination regulates the flow and use of water in the RO system, serving three very important functions - it holds the water in the RO membrane so that it is purified fully, it reduces water waste, and it prolongs system life. Due to our advanced flow restriction configuration only 3.5 gallons of water are made brine per gallon of drinking water, compared to 8-9 gallons of water made brine per gallon of drinking water on competitors RO systems.

After the relief valve opens it will not shut off until line pressure is reduced. Is it faulty?

Frequently Asked Questions - Fisher Regulators
When using relief valves, be sure to remember that the reseat point is lower than the start-to-bubble point. To avoid seepage, keep the relief valve set point far enough above the regulator set point. Cutting the supply pressure to a pilot-operated regulator reduces the regulator gain or sensitivity and, thus, may improve regulator stability. (This can only be used with two-path control.)

Can the Shut-off Valve and Traccel Room Controller be used in the same space?

Traccel FAQs
Yes. This is an excellent alternative for a biosafety space, where the typical airflow control objective is inward directional airflow. For example, a Shut-off Valve can be used to isolate the biosafety cabinet’s exhaust flow when the cabinet is not in use. As the Shut-off Valve closes, it communicates over the room-level control network with the Traccel Room Controller, which compensates to maintain the desired room balance and ensure the correct directional airflow.
