The wafer valve 241 includes a spine 242, which Wings 243, 244 are hingedly connected thereto along the longitudinal axis. circular seal A member 245 is secured across the surfaces 243, 244 of both wings. wafer valve 241 is such that seal 245 opposes the incoming feed flow, thereby directing the feed flow to Insert it into the manifold's liquid supply line so as to block the water from flowing beyond the entered.

The wafer valve is connected to a passageway 153 in the end face 152 of the supply manifold 120 (FIG. 7). It is adapted to fit tightly into the annular recess 154 of the opening. The wafer valve 24 1 is also 1 within the corresponding annular recess 154 of the flL fluid manifold 180 (FIG. 9). The valve is therefore adapted to fit tightly into the valve formed by the manifold. Use at any point along the treated feed, post-process feed, or filtrate line. be able to. 1 With particular reference to FIG. 5, the valves include check valves 124 and 127. can be inserted into a manifold shown as containing. wafer valve It also ensures that the pressure across the membrane remains approximately constant throughout the cartridge row. Also used in the filtrate line to control the pressure in the filtrate line to ensure can do.

During backwashing, when a purely parallel feed configuration of the manifold rows is desired, the backflow is introduced in a direction opposite to the normal fluid supply, which hinges the wings 243, 244 inward. 241, thereby allowing backwash fluid to flow past the butterfly valve 241.
