About
A2O Pure
The A2O Pure is a direct flow water filtration
system with Aquaporin Inside® technology.
The system can be used wherever traditional
reverse osmosis (RO) systems or other types
of water filtration system reach their limits.
The Aquaporin Inside® Drinking Water
Membrane (DWRO®) uses unique “made by
nature” proprietary membrane technology to
remove PFAS, heavy metals, microplastics,
bacteria, viruses, hormones, nitrates,
limescale and other harmful substances.
Input water limitations
Feedwater temperature (min. / max.) 5–25°C
Inlet pressure (min. / max.) 1–6 bar
Feedwater Quality Municipal tap water

1The flow rate is tested at 25 °C; lower water temperatures will reduce the flow rate
2The system is influenced by feedwater conditions such as pressure, temperature, TDS levels, and hardness.
The better these incoming conditions, the better performance. Depending on local water quality and use
environment, the lifetime of the filters, flow rate, recovery rate and salt retention rate will vary.

Operating and safety notes
Overview of all operational and safety aspects
that are considered important for ensuring
safe and fault-free operation. Despite all
possible precautionary measures, some
residual risk remains with any product,
especially if it is used improperly. Warranty
claims are void unless the provisions in this
manual are observed and followed.
Proper use
The system is suitable for filtration of drinking
water quality at up to max. 25 °C and an inlet
pressure of max. 6 bar.
Observe: The feedwater must not
exceed the limit values given in the
technical data sheet – page 5.
The system shall only be used for its intended
purpose as designed and as described here
in this manual. Any other use is considered
“improper”.
Warning! The system must be fed
only with cold drinking water.
Permissible operation method
Observe: To protect the drinking
water, observe the country-specific
guidelines for drinking water
installations in any work on the
system.
-The system must be disconnected prior
to performing any maintenance work on
the drinking water supply. Rinse the water
pipe sufficiently before reconnecting the
device.
Observe: Improper installation of the
system may cause damage to it.
-Observe any country-specific installation
regulations (such as DIN 1988, EN 1717),
general hygienic conditions and technical
data for protecting the drinking water.
-Unauthorized modifications to the system
and technical alterations are not permitted.
-Avoid mechanical damage to the system.
Otherwise, the warranty is void.
-Install a stop valve upstream of the system.
-All materials in contact with filtered water
must be corrosionresistant.
-The device may not be installed in the
vicinity of heat sources or open flames.
-The system may not come into contact
with chemicals, solvents, or vapors.
-The installation site must be free of frost
and protected from direct sunlight.
-The system may not be operated with
feedwater that is microbially contaminated,
whose origin or quality is unknown, or
similar.
-A water softener is strongly recommended
for water > 15 °dH. Installing a system with
hardness higher than 15 °dH will reduce
life of the system and filters.
-Avoid leaving the system in storage for
a long time to reduce the risk of idle
contamination.
Impermissible operating methods
Attention: Danger through improper
use! Claims for damages resulting
from improper use are void.
Danger: Always disconnect the
power supply of the unit by removing
the plug or fuse if hard wired during

How to install
Before you start, please be sure to clean your
hands thoroughly as well as any tools used
during the installation of your purifier.
The installation will take approximately one
hour.
Before installation, ensure that the cold water
valve is turned off/closed.
TURN
OFF
Note that the length of the 1/4″PE pipe is
3 meters. This length is to be used for
multiple connections so use only what you
need for each connection and save the
remaining for later installation steps.
When you cut the PE pipes be aware that the
pipe is not compressed when you insert it into
connections.
Before installation, remove the white IN and
OUT plugs as well as the DRAIN plug. Keep
the plugs as they will be reused if the device
is relocated.
How to remove the plugs
1. Use a flat device, e.g. a screwdriver to push
down the grey release collar.
2. You can now pull the plug upwards with
your fingers.
Note that there might be a release of air when
removing the plugs.

Complete the
installation
The lights on the top panel will blink and you
hear a “ding” sound, and you can hear the
water flowing into your machine.
Once the lights on the top panel stop blinking,
open your faucet and check for leakages.
After installing your A2O Pure or replacing
the cartridges, the system must be flushed
before consuming the water – note that
the first water coming out will be black.
As our DWRO® membranes are constantly
improving in quality and technology, we
advise you to find the updated flushing times
at www.aquaporin.com or contact your local
dealer.
Enjoy.
