Abstract:
1. A reverse osmosis (RO) system comprising: a manifold that receives feedwater for the reverse osmosis system and delivers permeate and concentrate from the reverse osmosis system; a pre-filter housing that includes a pre-filter, wherein the pre-filter housing receives feedwater from the manifold and delivers pre-filtered water to the manifold; a first housing that includes a first membrane element, wherein the first housing receives pre-filtered water from the manifold and delivers permeate and concentrate to the manifold; a second housing that includes a second membrane element, wherein the second housing receives pre-filtered water from the manifold and delivers permeate and concentrate to the manifold; wherein the pre-filter housing includes a first end attached to the manifold such that feed water flows into the pre-filter housing through the first end of the pre-filter housing and pre-filtered water flows from the pre-filter housing through the first end of the pre-filter housing; wherein the manifold supports the first ends of the pre-filter housing, the first housing and the second housing; and further comprising a leg that supports opposing second ends of the pre-filter housing, the first housing and the second housing.
