MANUFACTURER:
Manufactured by PURICOM WATER IND. CORP. (Taiwan) for
PURICOM
EUROPE
.
Pol. Ind. L’Ametlla Park, c/ Aiguafreda, 8, 08480 L’Ametlla del Vallès,
Barcelona (Spain) T: +34 902 305 310, F: +34 936 934 329.
4.1 Operation conditions
Do not use water above 104°F (40 °C)
The ambient temperature must be between 40 and 114 °F (4 and
45 °C. )
Keep the system from extreme temperatures, like cooking surfaces,
direct sunlight, and extreme environmental conditions. Avoid external
dripping on the purifier.
If feed water has salinity higher than 800ppm please contact your
distributor.
Feed water hardness should be under 25ºHF to obtain a better per-
formance.
If the feed water hardness is higher than 25ºHF, the membrane lifetime
and system performance may be reduced.
2.5 Effect of TDS concentration in the inlet water
Production rate will vary depending on the TDS content (Total
Dissolved Solids) and temperature of water to be treated. Water with
a lower temperature or higher TDS will be filtered slower than water
which is warmer or of a lower TDS.
It is recommended to use water with a maximum hardness of 25
grains in order to obtain optimum performance.
If the inlet water is of hardness greater than 25
ºHF
, or contains high
concentrations of iron or manganese, or hyper chlorination, there may be
a reduction in one membrane life and performance of certain components
of the purifier.
ZIP is designed for TDS up to 800 ppm. For TDS above 800 ppm,
consult your dealer. (If the water being used is from a UK public
supply, it will comply with requirements for water to be used for the
ZIP purifier.)

PRESSURE CHART DEPENDING ON T.D.S.
*The flow can /- 20%.
The produced flow can change
depending on the salinity,
temperature and pressure of the
treated water. See 2.4 and 2.5 of
this manual.
**For salinities up to 800 ppm, you
can consult the pressures chart
insection 2 of this manual. For
salinities over thar 800 ppm ask
your distributor.
This characteristics can change
depending on the model, version
or manufacturing year.
In the event that the water to be treated is not from a
public water supply, or is of unknown origin, in order to
ensure proper purification, contact your distributor to
advise you on the most appropriate physical, chemical
and bacteriological water treatment to use with your ZIP
system.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe,
of unknown quality, or without adequate disinfection
before or after the system. If the water being used is
from a UK public supply, it will comply with requirements
for water to be used for the ZIP purifier and your ZIP will
substantially improve the water quality
