3.2. RECOMMENDATIONS ON HOW TO PROPERLY USE RE-
VERSE OSMOSIS WATER
If you wish to feed any other consumption point with os-
mosis water (such as a fridge with an ice-cube dispenser,
another tap, etc.), the piping should not be done with a
metal tube, as this would give water a bad taste. Always use
a plastic tube.
Warning: Water supplied by household osmosis equip-
ment has a LOW MINERAL CONTENT. The mineral salts
required by the human body are provided by food,
especially by dairy products and to a lesser degree, by the
water we drink.
4. BASIC OPERATION
Tap water to be treated enters the system going through
the sediment filter and the carbon filters. During this filter-
ing stage, chlorine, its derivatives and other organic sub-
stance particles are retained.
The flow of water towards the equipment is controlled by
an electrovalve, or a 4-way shut-off valve (in function of the
model).
After the water passes through the filtering stage, it is fed to
the reverse osmosis membrane. In function of each model,
the equipment may incorporate a pump to increase pres-
sure. It is the effect of the water pressure upon the mem-
brane, which makes the reverse osmosis possible.
Treated water is held in the water tank for its subsequent
use. Water that is rejected or has excessive salt or other
dissolved substances is fed towards the drain outlet to be
disposed of.
When the storage tank is full, a high pressure switch or a
4-way shut-off valve (in function of the model) stops the
equipment.
Models with a built-in pressure pump also have a low pres-
sure switch as a safety system, which protects the pump
against pressure drops by stopping the equipment and pre-
venting a vacuum operation.
When the equipment’s tap is turned on, the water stored
in the tank passes through a post-filtering stage whose aim
is the elimination of possible odours and taste, as well as
pH adjustment, which water may retain before being dis-
pensed.
Warning: In function of the model, there may be small
performance differences. Please read the correspond-
ing section in the Technical Manual.
5. USER INTERFACE
This equipment does not include an electronic interface.
6. MAINTENANCE
With the aim of guaranteeing the quality of the water supplied
by your equipment, it should undergo regular maintenance.
Read the corresponding section of the Technical Manual to
check the recommended maintenance frequency.
