1.- INTRODUCTION
This manual explains the installation and operation of equipment made by HI-
DRO-WATER, S.L. for water treatment by ultrafiltration for household use. The equip-
ment has been designed to be connected to the housing facility.
It is easy installation and operation as it has already been semi-assembled. It
requires very little assembly as it is only necessary to connect the hydraulics and install
the faucet as indicated in point 4 of this manual.
In the absence of installation and maintenance as described in this manu-
al by technically qualified personnel to ensure the quality of water produced and
proper installation, the warranty is void.
2.- PRECAUCIONES Y ADVERTENCIAS
Please read this manual carefully following the warnings listed below before going
ahead with the installation and use of the ATHENEA ultrafiltration system. If you have
any doubts, please contact an official HIDRO-WATER S.L distributer.
•
For the correct operation of osmosis systems with a pump, the pressure should
be between 2.5 and 4 bars.
•
The temperature of the water to be treated should not be below 4ºC nor above
40ºC to avoid damaging the system.
•
The ultrafiltration system is designed to treat tap water with a maximum salinity
of 1500 ppm. Do not use in places where the water is not microbiologically safe
or has an unknown quality. For water with a greater salinity level, please con-
tact an official HIDRO-WATER S.L distributer.
•
It is advisable that the water to be treated has been softened or with a maxi-
mum hardness of 15ºHF for optimum performance.
•
If the water has a high concentration of iron or magnesium, nitrate concentration
greater than 100 ppm, sulphate concentrations greater than 250 ppm, more
than 3 NTU turbidity and/or prolonged use of high chlorine levels, please con-
tact an official HIDRO-WATER S.L distributer to suggest an appropriate pre-
treatment system to ensure the correct operation of the system.
•
If the osmosis system is not going to be used for a long period of time, close the
water passage.
•
Install the system on a flat surface.
•
Do not expose the system to direct sunlight or install it outdoors.
•
The installation should be done by professionally qualified personnel and should
not be installed close to a heat source.
•
Do not repair or take the system apart on your own. If the system is not working
correctly, please contact an official HIDRO-WATER S.L distributer. Any tam-
