1. UNPACKING
Before installing and starting up the equipment, it is
important that you check the box and the state of the
equipment in order to verify that it has not suffered any
damages during its transportation.
Attention: Any claim for damages suffered during
transportation must be presented to the equip-
ment’s distributor together with the packaging
slip or invoice, adding the name of the carrier, within
24 hours from receiving the merchandise.
Take out the equipment and accessories from their
cardboard packaging, removing the corresponding pro-
tections.
Attention: Make sure to properly dispose of any
plastic bags, keeping them out of the reach of
children as they can be dangerous for them.
On the inside you will find (depending on the model):
The water treatment equipment, installation acces-
sories and its documentation.
The materials used in the packaging
are recyclable and
must be discarded in the appropria-
te collection bins or
in the local centre designated for
the recuperation of
waste materials.
This product cannot be discarded
together with other urban waste.
When the equipment’s lifespan comes
to an end, it should be handed
over to the company or centre where
you acquired the device, or in a Recycling
Centre or local centre specialised
in the recycling of materials,
indicating that it has electronic components
and refrigerating gases. The proper collection
and treatment of the unusable devices contributes to
the preservations of natural resources and helps avoid
any potential risks to public health.
2. INTRODUCTION
This general manual for Columbia dispensers describes
the characteristics of versions F and UF of the equip-
ment.
F systems include sediment filters and activated carbon
filters. UF systems include sediment filters, activated
carbon filters and an ultrafiltration membrane.
Congratulations. You have acquired one of the best
existing equipment in the market for the treatment of
water for domestic and office use.
This equipment will help you improve the characteris-
tics of your water, putting high quality water at your
disposal.
Your equipment will offer you various benefits and ad-
vantages:
• This is a physical system that does not use nor add
chemical products into the water.
• It offers water of high quality.
• It has a low maintenance cost.
• It ensures high production.
3. THE TYPES OF TREATMENT USED BY
COLUMBIA
Depending on the model, Columbia dispensers equip-
ment
are available with different types of water treatment:
filters and ultrafiltration.
3.1 WHAT IS FILTRATION?
Sediment filters
Filtration is the process of separating suspended solids
in the water by using a porous medium, also called filter.
The water goes through the pores of the filter, but par-
ticles that are larger than the pores of that filter are re-
tained by the filter itself which provides a clearer water.
Columbia dispensers equipment utilises 5 μm filters.
Activated carbon filters
Activated carbon is used to eliminate chloride in water,
and to improve its flavour and smell, as well as to elimi-
nate some organic components thanks to its great
absorbing capacities. Columbia dispensers equipment
utilise granulated carbon.
3.2 WHAT IS ULTRAFILTRATION?
Ultrafiltration is a system used to completely eliminate
all virus and bacteria from the water. Ultrafiltration
membranes have a porosity between 0,1 and 0,001 μm,
and for this reason they are able to retain suspended
solids much better.
4. PRIOR WARNINGS
Attention: Carefully read and safeguard this ma-
nual before installing and starting up the equip-
ment. If you have any doubts regarding the ins-
tallation, use or maintenance of this equipment, get in
touch with the technical assistance service (T.A.S) of
your distributor.
Attention: This equipment does not PRODUCE
POTABLE water. If the water to be treated comes
from a public source (and therefore conforms to
all applicable laws), this equipment will substantially
improve the quality of the water. Otherwise, it will be
necessary to carry out a physical, chemical and bac-
teriological analysis of the water to ensure its proper
purification by using the appropriate techniques and
equipment as needed. This needs to be done BEFORE
THE INSTALLATION of the equipment. Get in touch with
your distributor so that it can advise you with regards
to the appropriate treatment for your situation.
The water treatment equipment requires regular main-
tenance that needs to be carried out by qualified te-
chnical personnel in order to guarantee the quality of
water produced and provided.

Data Sheet
4.1 CONDITIONS FOR THE CORRECT OPERATION OF
THE EQUIPMENT
• The equipment should not be fed with hot water
(T>40ºC).
• The temperature of the room must be between 4º and
45ºC.
• For waters with a salinity level higher than 500 ppm,
get in touch with your distributor so that they can advi-
se you for the most appropriate treatment for your case
and thus ensure the proper operation of your equip-
ment, avoid damaging the components and guarantee
the quality of the water provided.
4.2 PRE-INSTALLATION WARNINGS
• If you need to adapt the facilities of your residence or
business in order to be able to install the equipment in
the designated space, any adaptation should be done
following all applicable national regulations concerning
the internal installation of water and power supplies.
• COLUMBIA equipment requires that a power outlet be
placed at least one meter away.
• COLUMBIA equipment should not be installed laying
down or at an angle. They should be placed over a flat
surface in order to operate correctly and securely.
• The spot designated for its installation must be large
enough to host the device, its accessories, connections
and to allow for maintenance to be carried out com-
fortably.
• Maintain a minimum separation of 10 cm from the sides
and back wall to ensure the proper ventilation of the
equipment.
• The equipment should never be installed outdoors.
ATTENTION: After its installation, the equipment
should not be connected immediately to a power
source. It should be left to rest for 2 hours once
it has been installed in the desired spot. This is very im-
portant in order to guarantee the proper operation of
the system, since otherwise the compressor may end
up damaged. The manufacturer will not be responsible
for any of the damages suffered by the equipment in
this case.
4.3. WARNINGS REGARDING THE USE OF THE EQUIP-
MENT
• If you are going to be absent for more than one week,
close the equipment’s water inlet valve, empty it and
disconnect it from the power supply. When you come
back, connect the power supply to the equipment,
open the inlet valve and empty the storage tank twice
before consuming the water.
Attention: If the equipment has not worked or
has not produced water for a prolonged period
of time (more than one month), get in touch with
the distributor in order to set up its appropriate saniti-
zation and maintenance.
Attention: Particular attention must be paid to
the regular cleaning and hygiene of the frontal
dispensers, especially when carrying out their
periodical maintenance and sanitization. For this, use
a sanitising spray and single use paper towels (see the
chapter on Sanitization).
5. EQUIPMENT OPERATION
5.1 HOW TO GET WATER FROM THE DISPENSER
Extract cold water from the water fountain to drink wi-
thout a cup.
Press firmly the pushbutton so that the water flows as
an arc over the tray (1).
Extracting cold water from the faucet to fill a cup or
small bottles.
Place the glass under the nozzle of the faucet and open
it by turning the level counter-clockwise (2).
5.2 HOW TO USE THE MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL
COMPONENTS
See Chapter 9 IDENTIFYING THE MANAGEMENT AND
CONTROL COMPOMENTS to identify and learn how the
management and control components work.
5.3 BASIC OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM
In the “Filtration” models, the network water to be
treated goes into the equipment by passing through the
sediment filter and the carbon filter. During this step
of the filtration process, suspended particles, chloride,
their derivatives and other organic substances are re-
tained.
In the “Ultrafiltration” models, subsequently the water
passes through the UF membrane where smaller par-
ticles,
including viruses and bacteria, are retained.
When you request water by pressing the equipment’s
upper dispensers, the water stored in the cold-water
tank or coil flows to the outlet nozzles.
