AQUAPHOR RO-101S REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM 3
Thank you for your purchase of this Reverse Osmosis system AQUAPHOR RO-101S. With proper installation
and maintenance, this system will provide you with premium quality drinking water. The technology used in the
Aquaphor RO enriches the ltered water with minerals in controlled quantities.
This water is highly benecial for the body as it helps to normalize the physiological processes.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our customer service department at [phone]
or email [e-mail], [e-mail]. We are always happy to answer any questions you
may have regarding our product.
Introduction
AQUAPHOR RO-101S operates by removing contaminants from water at the molecular level. By using your
household water pressure to squeeze the water against a special membrane, the water molecules are sepa-
rated from any impurities that exist.
Rejected dissolved solids are automatically rinsed away through the drain leaving you with only high-quality,
delicious water for your use.
1. Operational parameters
Operating temperatures: Maximum 100.4 ºF (38 ºC) Minimum 41 ºF (5 ºC)
Operating pressure: Maximum 91.4 psi (6.3 bar) Minimum 27.6 psi (1.9 bar)
The operating pressure in your home should be tested over a 24 hour
period to attain the maximum pressure. If it is above 91.4 psi, then a
pressure regulator is necessary, and will be required.
Dimensions

77 ºF / +25 °С with a constant
pressure of 58.02 psi / 4 bar)
50 GPD
Cleaned water to drained water
ratio (water temperature no less
than 68 ºF / 20°С)

Mass no more than 6.2 kg/13.66 lbs
pH parameters: Maximum 10 Minimum 4
Iron: Maximum 0.1 ppm
TDS (Total Dissolved Solids): Maximum 2000 ppm
Turbidity: Maximum 1 NTU
Hardness: Recommended hardness not to exceed 10 grains per gallon, or
171 mg/l of hardness as CaCO3. The system will operate with hardness
over 10 grains, but the membrane cartridge life may be shortened. The
addition of a water softener may lengthen the membrane cartridge life.

ATTENTION
The efciency of RO-101S depends on the incoming tap water mineralization and tap water
pressure (please see Table 1). The recommended operation of RO-101S requires tap water
pressure of at least 29.01 psi / 2 bar.
When tap water pressure is less than illustrated in the Table 1, it is highly recommended to
install a booster pump in order to obtain drainage ratio.
2. Safety instructions
Warning: RO-101S must be applied to potable water only.
It is highly recommended that a water treatment specialist is hired to install and maintain this appliance.
When installing the appliance into a local water supply, it is recommended that you conduct a full water
analysis. If the water analysis does not correspond with the requirements, the life of the ltration and membrane
cartridges may be signicantly reduced. In this case, it is recommended to use auxiliary water treatment sys-
tems (e.g. mechanical lter, de-ironing lter with, or alongside a water softener). It is recommended that you only
use microbiological safe water with your Reverse Osmosis system appliance.
Caution: Do not use water that is microbiologically unsafe or water of unknown quality without
adequate disinfection before or after using the appliance.
Caution: Reverse Osmosis water should not be run through copper tubing as the purity of the
water will leach copper and cause an objectionable taste in the water. Additionally, it will form
pinholes in the tubing. Be sure to follow any state or local regulations.
Caution: The Reverse Osmosis system is designed to be connected to cold water only. Never
run warm or hot water through your appliance.
