The 5-μm sediment lter removes the materials and particles oating in
the water. The activated carbon granulate lter (GAC) lters out organic
materials and unwanted odors. The 1-μm sediment lter removes the rest
of the particles to ensure the correct functioning of the membrane.
The membrane is where the phenomenon of reverse osmosis occurs.
This component consists of a partially permeable material which is wound
in a spiral around the clean water (permeate) collecting pipe. Water that
cannot penetrate the partially permeable membrane is discharged
through the waste water pipe.

COMPONENT FUNCTIONS

APPLICATION
In order to generate a suitable outlet pressure for the clean water and to
store it under ideal disinfection conditions, the clean water tank has an
inner surface which is covered with a plastic material suitable for
foodstus. With the clean water tank valve you can open and close the
water inlet to the clean water tank.
The downstream activated carbon filter enriches the clean water by
adding minerals. Thereby, the lter regulates pH value of the water before
its consumption.
The flow rate restrictor generates the pressure on the membrane required
for the operation of the system. It is located in the waste water tube.
The mineral-enriched clean water with a regulated pH value can be taken
from the tap.
The l ow pressure switch* stops the pressure pump when the water
supply is turned o or the pressure is less than 0.2 bar (3 psi).
The pressure pump* increases the pressure on the water owing through
the 5-µm sediment lter to the value required for reverse osmosis.
The 4-way shut-off valve regulates the water ow. It interrupts the water
ow as soon as the pressure in the clean water tank reaches the inlet
pressure of the membrane.
The high pressure switch* stops the pressure pump as soon as the
pressure in the clean water tank reaches 2.6 bar (38 psi).
The pressure pump adapter* provides the power supply for the
pressure pump. Here the power supply voltage is converted to 24 VDC.
* Available for the model with pressure pump
This system is used to obtain drinking and cooking water from tap water
by subjecting water that has already passed through the municipal waste
water treatment plant to the process of reverse osmosis.
This water must be microbiologically safe with regard to the required
disinfection.

INSTALLATION
The rst lter in the system is the 5 µm sediment lter, in which solid
particles are retained. The water then passes through the activated carbon
granulate lter (GAC). This lter retains organic substances and especially
free chlorine. Furthermore, odors are eliminated. The 1-µm sediment lter
is the last lter before the membrane. This also protects the membrane,
which increases its service life.
The water ltered through the three pre-lters then ows through the
membrane, which forms the basis of the water treatment in the reverse
osmosis system. A large number of small particles are retained here,
which are then discharged through the waste water tube.
The water that has been able to penetrate the membrane rst passes
through the downstream activated carbon lter, which has the function of
a pH regulator, and then to the clean water tank.
To ensure reliable functioning and a long service life of the membrane, the
amount of waste water must always be bigger than the amount of clean
water. The treated clean water in the tank increases the water supply. The
storage capacity of your system is 2.2 gallons, which is approximately
8 liters.
The system is very easy to use and the water pipe system can be easily
installed anywhere. The installation should only be carried out by a
qualied technician.
Cebilon Platinum reverse osmosis system contains components that need
to be replaced regularly to eciently lter the dissolved solids (TDS) from
the water.
Free chlorine can negatively aect the polymer structure of the membrane
within the system.
Please read the operating instructions and pay particular attention to the
chapters about installation, operation, maintenance and warranty conditions.
The operating sequence of the system is shown in Figure 4.

MAINTENANCE
This system has been developed for private use in households.
Components such as the clean water tank, the waste water tube and the
water tap are not intended for outdoor installation.
Before using the system, carry out the necessary measures to disinfect
microbiologically unsafe water.
Install the system with its own power supply unit.*
If there is no one in the house, we recommend that you close the water inlet
valve for safety reasons (Fig. 8).
Repairs have to be carried out by qualied personnel.
The maintenance of your system should only be carried out by an authorized
technician.
The service life of the lters used in Cebilon Platinum reverse osmosis
systems changes with the amount of water treated, depending on several
factors. These main factors are: the quality of the incoming water, the
amount of chlorine, the amount of dry residue, etc. The lters are
considered accessories and are not covered by the warranty.
IMPORTANT NOTES

To use your system eciently and for a long time, carry out the
maintenance regularly and on time. The following replacement intervals
apply to lters that are used under normal conditions in the water system.
The operating conditions of the lters can change depending on the
quality of the inowing water and the amount of chlorine and sediments.
Only authorized technicians should perform the periodic
maintenance required to keep your system operating eciently
every six months.
Filter name Replacement
interval Notes
5-µm sediment
lter
6 months
Sediments are ltered by retaining the coarse particles
in the water. Thus , the water is ltered down to the
micrometer level. Its service life depends on the quality
of the inowing water.
Activated carbon
