SYSTEMS & EQUIPMENT

RO System Warranty
One-year limited coverage for defects in materials and workmanship, subject to AXEON’s terms and operating requirements.
MEMBRANE ELEMENTS

Membrane Element Warranty
Separate provisions address manufacturing defects and prorated performance. Test conditions and maintenance requirements apply.
What Does the AXEON RO System Warranty Cover?

12 months · limited system warranty
Coverage concerns defects in materials and workmanship when the equipment is installed and operated within AXEON’s published requirements. Repair or replacement is determined by AXEON.
Keep proof of purchase and installation details. The warranty document defines the commencement date, including its three-month shipment limit.
Check the exclusions. Disposable items such as fuses, O-rings and regeneration chemicals are excluded. The document also sets limits on coverage for components manufactured by other companies, unauthorized parts or service, and labor or travel.
Understand the Membrane Element Warranty
MATERIALS & WORKMANSHIP
Manufacturing Defects
The limited warranty addresses defects in the membrane element. AXEON evaluates the element and determines the remedy under the terms.
PRORATED PERFORMANCE
Performance Under Specified Conditions
The performance provision uses AXEON’s published test conditions. Confirmed loss of warranted performance may qualify for credit toward a replacement, based on unused warranty months.
What Do the Performance Numbers Mean?
70%
Minimum Permeate Flow
At least 70% of the specified initial average flow under AXEON’s standard conditions. This is a flow criterion, not a contaminant-removal percentage.
1.35×
Maximum Salt Passage
No more than 1.35 times the specified maximum value under the stated test conditions and pressure. It does not mean 1.35% salt passage for every element.
Performance coverage has its own start-date rules for wet and dry elements. Read the full document for applicable dates, tests and credit calculations.
Keep the Records That Support Your Warranty
| Keep or confirm | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Purchase and installation records | Support the equipment’s identity and warranty dates. |
| System and membrane model information | Identify the product being evaluated. |
| Operating logs and water data | Help compare pressures, flows and water quality with the specified conditions. |
| Pretreatment and service history | Document filter changes, cleaning and protection against fouling, scaling or chemical exposure. |
| Storage and start-up records | Show that handling, preservation and initial flushing followed the membrane instructions. |
Use approved cleaning procedures and operate within the model’s limits. Review AXEON membrane replacement and start-up checks, and keep the system manual with your records.

AXEON Warranty FAQs
Is the system warranty the same as the membrane warranty?
No. AXEON publishes separate documents. System coverage addresses equipment defects; membrane terms include separate materials/workmanship and prorated performance provisions.
Does the membrane warranty promise a full year of unchanged output?
No. The performance terms use defined flow and salt-passage limits under specified test conditions. Actual output also depends on feed water, pressure, temperature and operation.
Does every performance concern qualify for a free replacement?
No. AXEON evaluates the concern under the applicable terms. A performance claim may involve prorated credit; materials/workmanship claims have their own provisions.
Can I send an element back immediately?
Obtain the required RGA and instructions before shipping. Used membrane elements need the specified handling, preservation and packaging.
What should I have ready when I call ESP Water?
Have the equipment model and identification, proof of purchase, installation details, photos, a description of the issue, and available water-quality and operating records.
