6. MAINTENANCE

The OSMOTIC reverse osmosis equipment requires low maintenance.
Some components, like the remineralizing postfilter, sediments prefilter, activated carbon prefilter and
the reverse osmosis membrane have a certain wear and a limited lifespan. Its duration depends on local
conditions, because water has its own composition in each region. As an orientation, the duration of
these components are explained as follows.
-Remineralizing postfilter: 3-5 years
-Sediments prefilter: 12 months (depending on inlet water)
-Activated carbon prefilter: 12 months (depending on inlet water)
-Reverse osmosis membrane: 3-5 years (depending on inlet water)
-UV-C lamp: 8000 hours
Element durability is a function of parameters experimented in the laboratory. Excessive alteration of
these parameters may shorten component life, as well as spare parts and non original consumables.
For a sanitary warranty, the osmoser must be periodically hygienized, by cleaning the elements which
comprise the filtration system.
The equipment hygienisation must be done by an Authorized Technical Service, and following all
instructions that come with the cleaning products.
Caution: Even if the entry valve is closed, the vessels containing the filters contain an
important amount of water. Please take the precaution of having a container for its
emptying in order to avoid a water spillage.
Note: If the prefilter or postfilter are replaced, it is not imperative to replace the rest. If the reverse
osmosis membrane is replaced, the sediment prefilter, the activated carbon filter and the
remineralizer postfilter must also be replaced.
Steps for filter replacement
Before doing any manipulation on the equipment, make sure that it is unplugged and there
are no risks. This equipment operates with electric current. In case of any doubts call the
technical service.
1. Close the valve placed in the equipment water inlet.
2. Unplug the tranformer from the power supply network.
3. Extract the osmoser from the kitchen furniture to make its manipulation easier
4. Remove the 3 clips from the lid and remove the lid from the OSMOTIC. Loosen the 3 screws and
change the filters.
