Crystal Quest
Commercial High-Flow Reverse Osmosis System — 10,000 to 50,000 GPD
Storage tank kit configurations include large-format tanks requiring freight delivery. Freight is TBD and will be confirmed before order processing.
Industrial-Scale Water Purification for High-Demand Facilities
The Crystal Quest Commercial High-Flow Reverse Osmosis System delivers continuous-duty, industrial-strength water purification at flow rates from 10,000 to 50,000 gallons per day — purpose-built for large manufacturing plants, food and beverage processors, municipal supplemental treatment, agricultural operations, and any facility where mid-flow commercial systems fall short of demand. Every system ships factory-tested, engineered for 24/7 operation, and built to last 15–20 years with routine membrane and filter maintenance.
Benefits
- Horizontal skid design engineered for industrial flow rates — stable, serviceable footprint
- Concentrate recirculation option — improves recovery rate and reduces wastewater
- CE compliant, ISO-certified components
- Made in the USA
- Factory-tested and preserved before shipment
- Low operational and maintenance costs
- Expandable configuration options available
- 10 × 4″ × 40″ TFC HF1 membranes on the 20,000 GPD (scaled per flow rate)
- Gould's multistage pump designed for continuous high-pressure operation
Applications
- Food & Beverage Manufacturing — Boiler feed water, process water, beverage blending, dairy and produce washing
- Industrial Manufacturing — Parts rinsing, cooling tower makeup, semiconductor fabrication, plating operations
- Municipal & Government — Supplemental treatment, emergency water supply, military base water systems
- Agricultural — Greenhouse irrigation, livestock water, hydroponics, aquaculture
- Healthcare & Laboratory — Hospital process water, pharmaceutical-grade purified water, dialysis center supply
- Hotels & Large Facilities — Properties with 200+ rooms, large campuses, multi-building complexes
Controller Upgrade Options
Every high-flow system ships standard with the Rotrol S-150 Computer Controller — a proven industrial control unit with pre-treatment lockout, tank level input, LED status display, feed flush cycle, and alarm function. Two upgrade tiers are available:
- Standard (Rotrol S-150) — Included. Pre-treatment lockout, tank level integration, LED status display, automatic flush, and alarm output. Ideal for sites with on-site operators.
- C-200 Controller (no Ethernet) — +$7,400. Upgraded digital controller with advanced diagnostic display, programmable flush cycles, real-time TDS monitoring, and enhanced alarm logging. Fully self-contained — no network required.
- C-200 Controller with Ethernet — +$9,600. All C-200 features plus built-in Ethernet connectivity for remote monitoring, data logging, and alert notifications. Recommended for unmanned facilities and multi-site operators.
The Ethernet Connection option adds remote network access (+$1,100). Available with any controller tier — gives remote visibility of system status, water quality readings, and alarm events via your facility network.
Feed Water & Pretreatment Requirements
High-flow RO systems are designed for municipal or well water as the feed source. For reliable long-term performance, the following pretreatment is strongly recommended:
- Sediment prefiltration — Remove particulates down to 5 microns before the RO membranes
- Softening or antiscalant injection — Required if hardness exceeds 10–15 grains per gallon; scale will shorten membrane life significantly
- Chlorine removal — TFC membranes are chlorine-sensitive; carbon prefiltration or sodium metabisulfite dosing required for chlorinated municipal supplies
- Iron & manganese — Must be oxidized and filtered prior to the RO if levels exceed 0.05 ppm
Have unusual feed water conditions (high TDS, brackish, elevated iron, or high silica)? Request a custom quote or call 866-560-9808 — we can spec the right pretreatment package for your source water.
Shipping & Freight
These systems ship via freight carrier (LTL or flatbed) — not parcel. Freight is quoted separately based on your delivery location and is confirmed before order processing. Systems 30,000 GPD and above require a loading dock or forklift at the delivery site. Contact us before ordering to confirm freight logistics: 866-560-9808 | info@purewaterguys.com
