The Reverse Osmosis process, also known as
hyper filtration, is the finest filtration process known
till date. The process ensures reduction of particles as
small as ions from a solution. Reverse Osmosis uses a
semi-permeable membrane to reduce salts from
potable / brackish water. In Reverse Osmosis, water
pressure applied to the concentrated side forces the
process of osmosis into reverse. Under enough
pressure, treated water is "squeezed" through the
membrane from the concentrated side to the diluted
side. Salts dissolved in water as charged ions are
repelled by the RO membrane. The rejected impurities on the concentrated side of the
membrane are washed away in a stream of waste water and thus do not get accumulated
as in a traditional filter.
UV Process
The UV light has shorter wavelength (higher energy) than the visible light. It is called
Pure Plus-violet because it is just beyond violet light in the light spectrum. Technically,
the Pure Plus-violet light is defined to be any wavelength of light, which is shorter than
400 nanometer.
UV rays, which penetrate into the micro-organisms, are absorbed by the DNA of the
pathogen in the water. The DNA is altered in such a way that the pathogen cannot
reproduce itself. Thus, it is essentially killed and cannot cause infection. This process of DNA
modification is called inactivation.

UV Fail Alarm*
To ensure delivery of purer and healthier water, a micro-processor is installed in the purifier that performs
the following functions: -
UV Stabilisation Delay: To ensure that the UV lamp is pre-heated and is working at its optimum
level before it starts disinfecting water, the controller provides a two seconds delay to UV lamp when the
purifier is switched on. During this period, only the UV lamp is switched on and other electrical devices of
the purifier are switched off.
Purification Delay: To ensure that the idle water lying in the internal pipes and in the UV chamber is
disinfected before being passed into the storage tank, the system provides 5 second delay when the purifier
is switched on. During this time, the UV lamp kills all micro-organisms that may be in the water inside UV
chamber. After this delay, all other electrical devices such as booster pump and solenoid valve are
switched on to start normal purification process.
Audible Alarm: The controller also controls the timing of UV Fail Alarm and the Filter Change Alarm.
Computer Controlled Operation*
nThe purifier automatically shuts off when the
storage tank is full
nThe purifier does not start when inlet water supply
pressure falls below 4.267 (psi/10°C)
nThe purifier automatically restarts when water
level drops below the maximum
nThe purifier does not allow any water rejection in
absence of electricity or when tank is full
Automatic Operation
AMI Pure Plus Mineral RO™ Water Purifier has an in-built feature of an audible alarm if the UV lamp malfunctions.
This feature is provided to ensure purity. The UV Fail Alarm will sound as following:
Two short beeps after every two seconds.
In case such an alarm is audible, kindly switch off the purifier. The purifier will stop its purification process in
such a circumstance.
Filter Change Alarm
AMI Pure Plus Mineral RO™ Water Purifier has an in-built feature of an audible alarm to indicate replacement
time filters. This alarm will be audible after 700 hrs of use since the last filter change (or since the time of
installation). The Filter Change Alarm will sound as following:
4 short beeps after every two seconds; for 30 seconds. The alarm will repeat after every 2 hours of use.
In case such an alarm is audible, please change the filters of the purifier. However, if the filters are not changed
within the next 60 hours of operation, the purifier will stop functioning to ensure purity and hygiene. The
following alarm will be audible after 60 Hrs. A continuous beep for an infinite time.
In case, such an alarm is audible, kindly switch off the purifier & replace the filters. In such a circumstance, the

TDS Adjustment*
Although the rejected water has high concentration
of salts, it is absolutely clean and free of impurities
like chlorine, dirt, sand, etc. which are present in raw
water. This rejected water usually goes down the
drain but if required, can be used for gardening
purposes. It has high concentration of salts and
minerals which accelerates plant growth. Rejected
water can also be used for cleaning purposes, i.e.
cleaning utensils, mopping, etc.

Efficiency rating means the percentage of the influent water that is available to the user as reverse osmosis
treated water under operating condition that approximate typical daily usage.
The system conform to NSF/ANSI 58 for the specific performance claims as verified and substantiated by test
data. While testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions, actual performance may vary.
The influent water to the system shall include no organic solvents, Chlorine <2 mg/L, pH 7-8, Iron <2mg/L, Turbidity
<1 NTU and hardness <1000mg/L.
“This system is acceptable for treatment of influent concentrations of no more than 27 mg/L Nitrate and 3 mg/L
Nitrite (in combination measured as N), and is certified for nitrate/nitrite reduction only for water supplies with
pressure of 140 kpa ( 20 psi) or greater”.
This system has been tested for the treatment of water containing pentavalent arsenic (also known as As (V), As
(+5), or arsenate) at concentrations of 0.30 mg/L or less. This system reduces pentavalent arsenic but may not
remove other forms of arsenic. This system is to be used on water supplies containing detectable free chlorine
residual or on water supplies that have been demonstrated to contain only pentavalent arsenic. Treatment with
chloramines (combined chlorine) is not sufficient to ensure complete conversion of trivalent arsenic to
pentavalent arsenic. Please see the Arsenic Facts section of the performance data sheet for further information.
Arsenic Facts
Arsenic (As) is a naturally occurring contaminant found in many ground waters. It generally occurs in two forms
(valences or oxidation states): pentavalent arsenic (also known as As(V), As(+5), or arsenate) and trivalent arsenic
(also known as As(III), As(+3), or arsenite). In natural ground water, arsenic may exist as trivalent arsenic,
pentavalent arsenic, or a combination of both. Although both forms of arsenic are potentially harmful to human
health, trivalent arsenic is considered more harmful than pentavalent arsenic. More information about arsenic and
i t s t o x i c i t y c a n b e f o u n d o n t h e U. S . E n v i r o n m e n t a l P r o t e c t i o n A g e n c y we b s i t e a t

This system is designed to remove only pentavalent arsenic. This treatment system does not provide a feature for
conversion of trivalent arsenic to pentavalent arsenic. The system may remove some trivalent arsenic, however, it
has not been evaluated for its ability to remove trivalent arsenic.
Trivalent arsenic is generally more difficult to remove from drinking water than pentavalent arsenic. Trivalent
arsenic can be converted to pentavalent arsenic in the presence of an effective oxidant such as free chlorine. The
arsenic in water containing detectable free chlorine or that has been treated with another effective oxidant will be
in the pentavalent arsenic form.4 Treatment with chloramine (combined chlorine) is not sufficient to ensure
complete conversion of trivalent arsenic to pentavalent arsenic.
Consumers using public water supplies can contact their utility to verify whether free chlorine treatment chemicals
are being used. Private water supplies and waters that do not have detectable free chlorine residuals should be
analyzed to determine the form(s) of arsenic present and the potential need for oxidation of trivalent arsenic to
pentavalent arsenic.
Arsenic does not generally impart color, taste, or smell to water, therefore, it can only be detected by a chemical
analytical test. Public water supplies are required to monitor treated water for total arsenic (trivalent arsenic plus
pentavalent arsenic) and the results are available to the public from the utility. Consumers using private water
sources will need to make arrangements for testing. A total arsenic test usually costs about $15-$30 and it is
recommended the test be conducted by a certified laboratory. Local health departments or environmental
protection agencies can help provide consumers with a list of certified laboratories. Some laboratories may also
be able to analyze specifically for (speciate) the form(s) of arsenic present in a water sample if requested.
This treatment system was tested under laboratory conditions as defined in NSF/ANSI 58 Drinking Water
Treatment Units – Health Effects and was found to reduce 0.30 mg/L of pentavalent arsenic in the test water to
less than 0.010 mg/L under standard testing conditions. Actual performance of the system may vary depending on
specific water quality conditions at the consumer's installation. Following installation of this system, the consumer
should have the treated water tested for total arsenic to verify arsenic reduction is being achieved and the system
is functioning properly.
The arsenic removal component of this system must be replaced at the end of its useful life of 1-2 years. The
