Frequently Asked Questions
Q:
What does the VIQUA FRSS-1.5 flow restrictor do?
A:
It limits flow to 1.5 GPM so compatible point-of-use UV equipment receives water at the intended treatment rate.
Q:
Which systems does the catalog list?
A:
The catalog lists these compatible parts or systems: FRSS-1, S1Q-PA, SC1. Confirm the exact model number on your equipment before ordering VIQUA FRSS-1.5.
Q:
What connections does it use?
A:
It has 1/2-inch female NPT connections on both ends. Match thread type and plumbing size.
Q:
Where should it be installed?
A:
Install it in the location and flow direction specified by the UV system manual; do not place it where it creates an unsafe pressure condition.
Q:
Can I substitute a higher-flow restrictor?
A:
No. A higher flow rate can exceed the system design. Match the 1.5 GPM rating to the supported equipment.
Q:
What can cause low flow besides the restrictor?
A:
Loaded prefilters, closed valves, low supply pressure, tubing restrictions, and scale can also reduce flow. Diagnose the complete water path.
