FOR REVERSE OSMOSIS EQUIPMENTS
1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations. You have purchased one of the best
household water treatment equipments that you can
find on the market.
This equipment will help you improve the quality of the
water and provide you with a maximum quality water
with low mineralization.
Your equipment provides you with different benefits
and advantages:
• It is a physical system which does not use or add che-
mical products to water.
• Provides high quality water.
• Has low maintenance costs.
• Ensures high production.
• Attractive compact design
• Direct flow reverse osmosis appliance, which ensure
high water production and availability without relying
on a external accumulation tank.
2. WHAT IS OSMOSIS?
Natural or direct osmosis is the most common in natu-
re, since most of the organisms contain semi-permea-
ble membranes (for instance, plant roots, organs in our
body, cellular membranes, etc).
When two solutions with different salt concentrations
are separated by a semi-permeable membrane, water
flows naturally from the solution with a lower concen-
tration to that with a higher concentration. This flow
continues until concentrations on both sides of the
membrane are equal.
When it comes to reversing this process in order to ob-
tain water with a low salt concentration using a highly
concentrated one, it would be necessary to add pres-
sure on the highly concentrated side, in order to stop
this tendency and reverse the natural flow of the sys-
tem. This process is called reverse osmosis. These days,
reverse osmosis is the best method for producing pure
water via a physical system (without using chemical
products).
Inlet water presses against the semi-permeable mem-
brane, so that part of it will get trough the pores of the
membrane (pure water), while the remaining water (re-
jected or with high concentrations of salts) is diverted
to the drainpipe (Fig. 1).

3. PRIOR WARNINGS
Warning: Carefully read all warnings included in
the corresponding section of the Technical Ma-
nual.
Warning: This equipment IS NOT FIT TO BE USED
WITH WATER UNSUITABLE FOR HUMAN CONSUMP-
TION. If the water to be treated comes from a pu-
blic water supply (and therefore meeting current legis-
lation requirements), this equipment will substantially
improve the water quality.
Water treatment equipment need to undergo regular
maintenance, which must be carried out by qualified
technical personnel, in order to guarantee the quality of
produced and supplied water.
3.1. USE OF THE EQUIPMENT
• Should you be away from home for more than a week,
close the water inlet, empty the system and unplug it
from the power supply (PUMP model). On your return,
connect the power supply, open the inlet valve and the
faucet. Let the water flow for at least 5 minutes before
drinking water.
Warning: After a prolonged period (more than a
month) during which the system has not been in
operation or produced water, contact your dis-
tributor in order to carry out proper sanitization and
maintenance.
• In order to improve the performance of the equip-
ment, we recommend filling bottles rather than filling
glasses each time.
Warning: Special attention must be paid to the
regular cleaning and hygiene of the osmosis tap,
especially during periodic maintenance and hygie-
ne. For this purpose, use the sanitizing spray and dis-
posable kitchen paper towels. Under no circumstances
must a hand towel or a multi-use cloth for the kitchen
be used.
