2. Check the input water pressure & Power Supply.
• There are Two main Parts in the installation of the Device.
Part I. Assemble the filters and housings onto the main system
Part II. Installing the system
PART I. ASSEMBLE THE FILTERS AND HOUSINGS ONTO THE MAIN SYSTEM :
1. Remove plastic wrappings on the Filter/Membrane filters, put the Membrane into
the housings and assemble the housings onto the main system as follow:
2. See Fig. Stand the housings upright. Make sure each housing has a rubber O-ring in
its groove. Put Membrane/Filter into the housing.
3. Hand twist the housing onto the main system turning counterclockwise. Use the
wrench provided to completely tighten the housing.

PART II. Installing the System
1. Connect the source water valve and the water inlet with a tube.
2. Connect another tube to the drain hole of the unit and then run the other end of the drain
tube into the drainage.
3. Wall mount your unit or place it on the decided floor space.
4. Connect the power cord of the voltage rating that matches with that on the rating plate.
5. Filter flushing
The Filters must be flushed initially in the beginning before proceeding to use the Unit/Device for consumption/usage.
Flushing need to be done on External SF, Pre Carbon Filter ,Sediment Filter & Post Carbon Filter.
Steps to Flush the Filter Cartridges:
➢ Connect source water to External SF input and flush for 5-10 minutes.Then connect to the purifier.
➢ Remove the back cover of the device.
➢ Identify the particular filter cartridge and water flow direction as mentioned on the filter cartridge.
➢Pre-Carbon filter : Flush the Pre Carbon filter for 3-5 minutes. Now reverse tubing from input to output and flush for 3-5
minutes. Now again connect to input of the cartridge and flush for 3-5 minutes.
➢Sediment Filter : Remove the existing tubings. Connect the output of Pre Carbon filter to the input of the SF and flush for
the 10 minutes. Connect the tubing as per actual.
➢Post-Carbon filter : Now remove the output of the Post Carbon filter from UV and start the system and flush for the 3-5
minutes. Now connect the output of UF to the output of the Post carbon filter and flush it for 3-5 minutes. Again connect
the output of UF to input of Post Carbon filter and flush it for 3-5 minutes.
➢After the Flushing of the device Install the device with all the tubing in place with QC fittings tightly and all the Water Circuit
and Electrical Circuit in Place and good condition and charge the Device with power and water Supply.
6. Drain the tank two times.

the purifier.
• Remove the side panel cover for a deeper analysis of the root cause of the leak.
Possible Reasons

WATER
LEAKAGE
INSIDE THE
PURIFIER
1. Certain tubings inside are loosely connected. Identify the loose tubing and tighten the connection. If
the problem still persists replace the tubing.
2. Certain connectors or tubings inside the
purifier are damaged/defective.
Identify the defective connector and replace it with a
new one.
3. The input/output connectors of the Filters/
RO Membrane housing/UV lamp/Booster Pump
housing are damaged/defective.
Identify which component has the defective connector
and replace it with a new one.
4. The Solenoid valve manifold is
damaged/defective. Replace the entire solenoid valve.
5. The Water level sensor doesn't work (TANK
OVERFLOW ISSUE) because of faulty electrical
wiring connection or Defective float sensor.
1. Check the electrical connections and connect it
properly.
2.Check the Electrical float sensor if found defective
replace it.

2. Device not responding
In case of the purifier not responding when the power is switched on, switch off the power supply and
unscrew the back cover of the purifier.
Remove the back cover for a deeper analysis.

NDING
1. Input water pressure is
low.
Check the input water pressure using a pressure meter. If the
pressure is lower than 4 PSI, an external booster pump must be
connected before the purifier inlet to increase the water pressure.
Have to recommend to consumer to buy a pre booster pump.
2. Switch-Mode
Power-Supply/ SMPS is
damaged/defective.
Check for loose a electrical connection at the "Molex Terminals"
of the SMPS & Booster pump. Tighten the connections if
necessary.
Check the 24V Dc supply at the output of the SMPS.If found
defective replace it.
3. The Booster
Pump/Low-Pressure
Switch/SV/float sensor is
damaged/defective.
Check the power supply at particular component. If supply is
available & component is not functioning then replace it.

3. Water Tank is filling very slow. Low permeate flow rate.
In case low permeate flow rate, switch off the power and water supply and unscrew the back cover of the
purifier.
Remove the back cover for a deeper analysis.

1. Input water pressure is low.
Check the input water pressure using a pressure meter. If the
pressure is lower than 4 PSI, an external booster pump must be
connected before the purifier inlet to increase the water pressure.
Have to recommend to consumer to buy a pre booster pump.
2. Clogging of inline filter
cartridges or RO membrane.
Check the flow rate at every stage of filter cartridge and replace the
appropriate cartridge or RO membrane.
3. Booster Pump is not
pressurizing water effectively
because of defect or deficit
power supply.
1.Check water flow and pressure at pump output.
2.If not sufficient check the power supply(24V DC) to the pump.Check
power supply and output power of SMPS.
3.If power supply is correct then change the defective booster pump.
4. Change in feedwater
temperature
The RO membrane used in your unit is rated to produce its specified
gallons of water per day at 77°F (25°C) and 60 psi. Water production
will decrease approximately 1.5% for each degree (F) that your
incoming water is below 77°F.
About 2.7% water production will be decreased if water
temperature is reduced by 1˚C.
