Presenting the AMI Ultimate Mineral RO™ Smart RO Water
Purifier. It uses futuristic and state-of-the-art technology to
provide purer and healthier drinking water.
At the heart of the AMI Ultimate Mineral RO™ Water Purifier
is a Reverse Osmosis membrane having pores as small as
0.0001 microns, which reduce dissolved impurities (salts
and heavy metals) and convert hard water to sweet and
pure drinking water. With a patented mineral retention
system, the AMI Ultimate Mineral RO™ Water Purifier
allows the user to control the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)
level in the purified water.

UV Process
The UV light has shor ter wavelength (higher energy) than the visible light. It is called
ultra-violet because it is just beyond the violet light in the light spectrum. Technically,
the ultra-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. Thus, they are essentially killed and cannot cause infection. This process of DNA
modification is called inactivation.

Th e Revers e Os mo s is pro ce ss, a l so kn o wn a s
hyper filtration, is the finest filtration process known to
date. The process ensures the 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.
Auto-flushing System
The purpose of the Auto-flushing system is to help prevent scaling or fouling of the RO
membrane by providing a rapid rinse which washes away impurities from the membrane's
surface and keeps the membrane clean. It offers following benefits.
nLowers rejected water outflow
nImproves "TDS" rejection rate i.e increases RO membrane efficiency
nExtends life of RO membrane
Note: The purified water stored in the tank is disinfected using UV LED, which automatically switches
on for 30 minutes in a two hour cycle.

To ensure delivery of purer and healthier water, a micro-processor is installed in the purifier that performs the
following functions:
UV Stabilization 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 second delay to the 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 a 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 the UV chamber. After this
delay, all other electrical devices such as the booster pump and solenoid valve are switched on to start normal
purification process.
Alarm: To ensure delivery of purer water, A M I Ul t im a t e built-in micro controller controls and senses various vital
components.
Computer Controlled Operation
Automatic Operation
n The purifier automatically shuts off when the
storage tank is full
n The purifier does not start if the inlet water supply

pressure falls below 4.267 (psi /10°cm )
n The purifier automatically restarts when the water
level drops below the maximum
n The purifier does not allow any water rejection in
absence of electricity/when tank is full

Installation Instructions
Installation Procedure:
Wall Hanging Diagram (Optional)
1. Paste the central drill sticker on a wall as per your convenience.
2. Ensure that the sticker is pasted straight on the wall, then drill holes as per the space provided on the sticker
3. Now, insert the puff up with the help of a hammer
4. Screw in two 10X50 self-taping screws, 5.4 inches (138 mm) apart horizontally
5. Carefully hang the purifier on the wall with the help of wall-mounting slot holes provided on back side of the purifier
Note:
1. If the wall is not straight or the screws are not properly drilled in an even position, it will damage your purifier
2. Keep the device away from heat or direct sunlight
1. First fix the SS ball valve (marked no. 4) to the 1/4 inch port of the 3-way connecter (marked no. 2) shown in
figure 2.
2. Connect the 3-way connector to the raw water supply (marked as no. 1) as shown in the figure 3. The 3-way
connector is fitted in line with the raw water supply.
3. The other end of the 3-way connector can be connected to a tap (marked no.3) as shown in figure 4 or can be
plugged off if not required.

Step-1
Before connecting the power supply, it is important that you perform the
following functions:
1. Open the SS ball valve (handle parallel to the ball valve) to start the
flow of water into the purifier, as shown in the figure.
2. Wait for 2-3 minutes to ensure that the filters are soaked in water.
1. Now connect one end of the white pipe to the SS ball valve and the
other end to the upper push-fit elbow fitting to the left hand side of
the purifier labeled WATER IN, as shown in figure 1.
2. Similarly, connect one end of the white pipe to the lower elbow fitting
connector labeled REJECT WATER and connect the other to the
drain saddle assembly, as shown in fig 2.
3. Now connect one end of white pipe to push fit elbow fitting to the
right hand side of purifier and the other end to the 90 degree ball
valve fitted in the tank as shown in fig 3.

Step-4
1. Connect the power supply.
2. Installation is complete.

Drill a 1/4” hole in the drain pipe, just below the sink. Install the Drain Clamp by first
applying the foam gasket inside the front half of the drain saddle. Punch out the cut-
out hole in the center of the pad, remove the adhesive backing, and adhere to the
inside of the drain saddle, ensuring the holes are aligned. Align the hole drilled in the
drain pipe with the hole in the drain saddle. Use Phillips screwdriver to tighten the
clamp. Avoid over-tightening. Insert tubing from the Reject Water line to t the quick
connect fitting on the drain line and check the seal.

nSwitch on the power supply
nWait till the storage tank completely fills up**
nSwitch off the power supply
nDrain the storage tank by opening the faucet , so as to
remove any dust particles present in the pipes and
storage tank
n Close the faucet and switch on the power supply
n The purifier is ready to use
Starting Up the Purifier
TDS Adjustment*
We recommend keeping the TDS at lowest but not below 50mg/l.
n Turning the screw of the valve anti-clockwise results in
increased mineral content.
n Turning the screw of the valve clockwise results in
decreased mineral content.
Maintenance
To ensure that the purifier operates at its optimum level,
routine maintenance must be performed. The frequency
of the maintenance will greatly depend upon the raw
water quality and consumption of treated water.
n The storage tank can be drained if not in operation
for an extended period. To do so, switch off the
power supply, open faucet and allow the water to
drain. Then, close the faucet and switch on the
power supply.
n Replace the sediment, activated carbon and post
carbon filter when the filter change alarm is audible,
or after every 12 months. It is recommended to
change the Flow Restrictor when the filters are
replaced
n Replace the RO membrane once every year
n Replace the UV Lamp once in a year
n If you are not going to use the purifier for a long time
(in case you are on a holiday, tour or out of home),
make sure that you disconnect the power supply, turn
off the raw water supply and drain the storage tank
The reverse osmosis system contains a replaceable treatment component critical for the effective reduction of
total dissolved solids and that product water shall be tested periodically to verify that the system is performing
properly.

Replacement of spare parts are as under:-
n If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by AMI genuine spare par ts.
n Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Although the rejected water has high concentration of
salts, it is absolutely clean and free from impurities like
chlorine, dirt, sand, etc. This rejected water usually goes
down the drain but can be used for cleaning utensils &
mopping the floor .
We recommend AMI RO Reject Water Storage Tank
can be purchased separately to store & use
RO reject water.
