Input Water Quality
The quality of the input water is important as it influences the effectiveness of the system and
the safety of the water.
The input water should be from a potable cold-water source. Acuva purifiers are effective for
microbial (viruses, bacteria, and protozoa) disinfection and a 5-micron filter is needed to remove
sediments, chlorine, and particulate contamination from water. Do not drink or use any water
that is of unknown origin or that has not undergone adequate treatment. A 5-micron carbon
filter is recommended for removal of bad taste and odor, as well as sediment filtration.
Acuva’s recommended requirements for the input water are listed in table 1.
