3.2. RECOMMENDATIONS ON HOW TO PROPERLY USE
REVERSE OSMOSIS WATER
• If you wish to feed any other consumption point with
osmosis water (such as a fridge with an ice-cube dis-
penser, another tap, etc), the piping should not be done
with a metal tube, as this would give the water a bad
taste. Always use a plastic tube.
Warning: The water supplied by household os-
mosis appliances 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 extent, by the water we drink.
• It is recommended not to use aluminium kitchen ware
when cooking with reverse osmosis water.
bottles instead of single glasses. Depending on the mo-
del, the mixing valve can be found in different places.
4. BASIC OPERATION
Tap water enters the system going through the sedi-
ment and the carbon filter. In this filtration stage, the
system retains particles in suspension, chlorine and its
derivative's, and other organic substances.
The flow of water towards the equipment is controlled
by a solenoid valve.
After leaving the filtration stage, water is pushed
towards the reverse osmosis membrane. This applian-
ce includes a pump to increase pressure. Water pres-
sure on the membrane makes the reverse osmosis pro-
cess possible.
Osmotic water is supplied through the faucet. Rejected
water, with an excess of salts and other dissolved subs-
tances, is diverted to the drain for disposal.
When the tap is turned off, a high pressure switch stops
the system.
This appliance includes a low pressure switch as a sa-
fety system, which protects the pump against pressure
drops by stopping the equipment and preventing dry
running.
5. USER INTERFACE
Warning: This appliance incorporates an electro-
nic controller which will efficiently manage func-
tionality and status indications, as well as the different
safety systems.
• If the system has a built-
in mixing valve (1), the
user will be able to regu-
late the salinity of the su-
pplied water to the desired
taste and/or local regula-
tions. This regulation must
be carried out while the
equipment is producing
water. To make the mixing
system work, properly fill
The datasheet of the appliance describes the states
which may be found in each equipment, as well as the
information they supply.
6. MAINTENANCE
In order to guarantee the quality of the water supplied
by your equipment, it should undergo regular mainte-
nance.

nual to check the recommended maintenance frequen-
cy.
