Fuji FRSS-10 (Fuji Rinse Saving System) ?

[edz]

Anyone know how they work and are intended to work? From what I gather its like a Brita water filter on steroids? And it takes batteries? What for? How much water can they process etc etc?
[looking for a good way and economic means to handle my chemical, coating and rinse water needs]

I don't have a specific info on this system but it is most likely a reverse osmosis filter system. This type of rinse water recycling system is common. I don't know if activated carbon filter is useful for this application.

I've gathered that.. But what could the need for batteries be about? They take 4 C-sized batteries and have a "test" button with a green light. What could that be about? Is current used for something, perhaps in conjuction with a catylist electrode?

Yes? How are they typically used? To recycle waste water from wash cycles in conjunction with a NP (no-plumbing) system--- the micro-systems I know tend to either have a water tie-in or use the waterbaths for rinse water? Or (as I'm looking) to process tap water for the (waterbath) coating water etc.?

I don't know if activated carbon filter is useful for this application.

I think they use some form of polymers.

Ed - I bet it is a conductibity detector to let you know your water has at least 18 MOhm/cm conductance. (That's really pure by the way - just a few minutes exposure to air will dissolve enough CO2 to drop the conductivity below this value.)

RO membrane is used to purify water that is already used to wash film. The purified water is used again.

I commented on carbon since you mentioned Brita. No other intention here.
