From: Richard Kahn To: Jeffrey Epstein <[email protected]> Subject: TSG / Patrick Date: Tue, 14 Mar 2017 15:43:51 +0000 thank you yesterday danny, smiley, anna, brice, patrick and i all spoke from 3-4:30pm. today we will be speaking with bob peterson at 4pm. patrick who installed RO dominated the call and outlined 3 major issues for RO not functioning: membranes, pretreatment and post treatment not functioning. danny was lost most of the call agreed with patrick's logic and approach. Danny only objected to replacing valves vs Pump. i called danny after we all spoke to see if he disagreed with anything else and he had nothing to say other than patrick knows this stuff well and i am still learning. after the call i had very little confidence in smiley and danny running the RO plant without guidance from patrick or initiating a service contract with TSG in some form or fashion.. patrick thought adding a water softener to master bedroom was silly as problems are from post treatment. patrick questions why we would want to put salt back into water with a water softener. overview of patrick solutions: 1)membrane - correct backwashing procedure as foreign objects and debris are clogging up membranes 2)pre treatment - daily testing and logging will allow us to be in tune to levels which would quickly identify if something was off 3)post treatment - seawater is ionically imbalanced as it is an open sea water intake and we need PH which has been as high as 7.6 -7.8 to be brought down to 5.5. patrick also said that adding calcium carbonate before PH was reduced to 5.5 was not helpful. 4)water samples - take 3 samples: ro system, post treatment sample and master bedroom 5)tony bell - former TSG programmer - coordinate with him regarding PLC and reprogram 6)quarterly service Richard Kahn HBRK Associates Inc. 575 Lexington Avenue, 4th Floor New York, NY 10022 tel fax cell On Mar 14, 2017, at 6:34 AM, jeffrey E. <[email protected]> wrote: E
