Filtered water is then pumped to the membrane, making the reverse 
osmosis process possible.

Osmotized water, after going through a pH regulation cartridge is ac-
cumulated the treated water tank for usage. Reject water is returned 
to the supply water tank, allowing it to be recirculated, optimizing the 
system’s performance.

A complete treatment cycle will produce up to 2 litres of water (ap-
prox.) that will be accumulated in the treated water tank.

The ZIP is equipt with different control and security devices. In case 
of any inadequate working parameters, the system will block auto-
matically, even stopping production if necessary.

In this case, the system will remain blocked until the issue has been 
resolved. Until then, only the accumulated water will be available.

5.2  User interface

The ZIP Purifier has a blue and orange colour coded LED electronic 
control dial which integrates a time and security functions to 
efficiently manage the filtering cycle and indicate any malfunctions 
detected.
