3. TYPES OF TREATMENTS OF COLUMBIA AQUA
DISPENSERS
Columbia dispensers are available, depending on the
model, with different types of water treatment: filtra-
tion, ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis.
3.1 What is filtration?
Sediment filter.
Filtration is the process of separating suspended solids
in water through a porous medium, also called a filter.
The water passes through the pores of the filter, but
the particles with a size greater than the pores of the
filter are retained in it, thus giving rise to clearer water.
Columbia Dispensers incorporate 5µm filters.
Active carbon filter.
Activated carbon is used to remove chlorine from wa-
ter, as well as to improve the taste, smell and eliminate
some organic components thanks to its great capacity
as an adsorbent. Columbia Sources incorporate granu-
lated carbon.
3.2 What is ultrafiltration?
Ultrafiltration is the system used to completely elimina-
te viruses and bacteria from water. Ultrafiltration mem-
branes have a porosity between 0.1 and 0.001 µm, which
is why they are capable of retaining suspended particles
much better.
This appliance is intended to be used in domestic
and similar applications.
• Personal kitchen areas in stores, offices and
other work environments.
• Rural lodgings and by clients in hotels, motels
and other residential type environments.
• Bed and breakfast type environments.
• Restaurant services and similar non-retail
applications.
More technical information at:
www.wtreatmentresources.com/986741NFPW.html
3.3 What is osmosis?
Natural or direct osmosis is the most common in natu-
re, since semi-permeable membranes are part of the
vast majority of organisms (for example, plant roots, or-
gans of our own body, cell membranes, etc.).
When two solutions of different concentrations of salts
are separated by a semi-permeable membrane, a na-
tural flow of water occurs from the solution of lower
concentration to the one of higher concentration. This
flow continues until the concentrations on both sides
of the membrane equalize.

9
When it comes to reversing this process and achieving
a flow of water with a lower concentration of salts from
one with a higher concentration, a sufficient pressure
of the water with a higher concentration must be exer-
ted on the membrane to overcome the tendency and
natural flow of the system. .
This process is what we call reverse osmosis. Currently,
reverse osmosis is one of the best methods to improve
the characteristics of water, through a physical system
(without the use of chemical products).
The water to be treated exerts pressure on the se-
mi-permeable membrane, so that part of it will manage
to pass through the pores of the membrane (osmotic
water), while the rest of the water (rejected or with a
high concentration of salts) will be diverted towards
the drain ( Fig. 1).
4. PREVIOUS WARNINGS
Warnings
- These appliances are supplied with re-
frigerant gas, ISOBUTANE (R-600a), which
is a natural gas with no harmful effects on
the environment, but it is flammable.

Attention: Read carefully and keep this manual
before installing and starting up the equipment. If
you have any questions about the installation, use
or maintenance of this equipment, contact the techni-
cal assistance service (SAT) of your distributor.
Attention: These equipments ARE NOT WATER
PURIFICATORS. If the water to be treated comes
from a public supply (and therefore comply with
current legislation), this equipment will substantia-
lly improve the quality of water. Otherwise, it will be
necessary to carry out a physical-chemical and bac-
teriological analysis of the water, in order to ensure its
correct purification by applying the appropriate te-
chniques and equipment to each need, PRIOR TO THE
INSTALLATION of the equipment. Get in touch with
your distributor in order to be advised on the most
appropriate treatment for your case.
The water treatment equipment needs periodic main-
tenance carried out by qualified technical personnel in
order to guarantee the quality of the water produced
and supplied.
4.1 Conditions for the correct functioning of the equi-
pment
• Do not feed the equipment with hot water (T>40ºC).
• The ambient temperature must be between 4º and
45ºC.
• Some models incorporate a pump. In the event that
the network pressure is greater than 2.5 bar, a pressure
regulator must be placed prior to the water entering
the equipment, set at a maximum pressure of 2.5 bar.
• For water with salinity higher than 2000 ppm consult
your distributor.
• It is recommended that the water to be treated be
softened or with a maximum hardness of 15 ºHF in order
to obtain optimum performance from the equipment.
• In the event that the water to be treated has a hard-
ness greater than 15 ºHF, a reduction in the life of the
membrane and in the performance of the equipment
could be produced.

5. EQUIPMENT OPERATION
5.1 How to draw water from your dispenser
See chapter 3 of the Technical Manual to identify the
dispensers and how to draw water.
5.2 Use of management and control components
See chapter 4 of the Technical Manual to identify and
know how the management and control components
work.
5.3 Basic system operation
In the “Filtration” models, the mains water to be trea-
ted enters the equipment through the turbidity filter
and carbon filter. In this filtration stage, suspended
particles, chlorine, its derivatives and other organic
substances are retained.
In the “Ultrafiltration” models, the water subsequently
passes through the UF membrane where the smallest
particles and even viruses and bacteria will be retained.
In the “Reverse Osmosis” models; The passage of water
into the equipment is controlled by a solenoid valve.
The water, after the filtration stage, is driven towards
the reverse osmosis membrane. Depending on the mo-
del, the equipment may incorporate a pump to increase
the pressure. The pressure of the water on the mem-
brane makes the reverse osmosis process possible.
Subsequently, the water passes through a post-filter
whose purpose is the elimination of possible odors and
salt.
The rejected water or with excess salts and other dis-
solved substances is directed towards the drain for its
elimination.
When demanding water by pressing the front dispensers
of the equipment, the water accumulated in the cold,
hot and reserve water tanks (depending on the model)
flows towards the outlet nozzles.
Attention: There are slight variations in opera-
tion, depending on the model. Read the corres-
ponding section of the Technical Manual.
6. INSTALLATION
The installation of your dispenser must be carried out
by personnel qualified enough for it. Check with the
dealer if in doubt.
Attention: Since the device to be installed impro-
ves the quality of the water that is going to be
consumed, all the tools that are going to be used
for assembly and installation must be clean and in no
case may they be contaminated or impregnated with
grease. oils or oxides. Use exclusive use tools for tube
cutting, membrane manipulation, etc.
Attention: The work must be carried out with an
attitude and adequate hygienic conditions, ta-
king extreme precautions in everything related to ma-
terials and components that are going to be in contact
- Prolonged hyperchlorination over time.
- Sludge or turbidity greater than 3 NTU.
- A concentration of nitrates greater than 100 ppm.
- A sulfate concentration greater than 250 ppm.
- Contact your distributor to recommend the most
suitable pre-treatment for your case, and thus ensure
the proper functioning of the equipment, avoid damage
to components and guarantee the quality of the water
supplied.
4.2 Prior warnings to installation
• In case of having to condition the installation of the
home or business to be able to install the equipment
in the planned place, it must be done following the na-
tional regulations for interior installations of water and
electrical supplies.
• COLUMBIA equipment requires an electrical outlet
less than 1 meter away.
• COLUMBIA equipment should not be installed lying
down or tilted. They must be placed on a flat surface
for correct and safe operation.
• The place planned for its installation must have enou-
gh space for the device itself, its accessories, connec-
tions and for carrying out convenient maintenance.
• Maintain a minimum separation of 10 cm on the sides
and rear wall to ensure proper ventilation of the equi-
pment.
• Under no circumstances will the equipment be insta-
lled outdoors.
Attention: This equipment nust be connected to
the electrical current directly, it must be left to
rest for 2 hours once it has been placed in the
desired installation position. This is very important to
ensure correct system operation, otherwise the com-
pressor could be damaged. The manufacturer will not
be responsible for damages caused to the equipment
in this case.
4.3. Equipment use warnings
• When you are going to be away for more than a week,
close the water inlet tap to the equipment, empty it and
disconnect it from the power supply. When you return,
connect the power supply to it, open the input key and
empty the storage tank twice before consuming water.
Attention: After a prolonged period (more than
a month) in which the equipment has not been
working or producing water, contact your distributor
in order to carry out adequate sanitization and main-
tenance.
Attention: Special attention should be paid to
the cleaning and hygiene of the front dispensers,
on a regular basis and especially when carrying
out periodic maintenance and sanitization. To do this,
use the sanitizing spray and single-use absorbent paper
(See the Sanitization chapter).
Attention: The water provided by the osmosis
equipment is LOW MINERALIZATION. The mine-
ral salts that the human body needs are provided
mainly by food, and to a lesser extent by drinking water.

11
handling of the equipment and corresponding cartrid-
ges. This dust must be removed as it could completely
or partially clog the reverse osmosis membrane, as well
as cause a malfunction of the equipment.
To do this, disconnect the tube that joins the outlet of
the last carbon pre-filter (there may be 1 or 2 depending
on the model) and the inlet to the membrane holder
(See indication A, in the flow chart of the Technical Ma-
nual). Feed the equipment hydraulically (by opening the
inlet valve) and electrically and direct this pipe towards
an external container or sink until the water runs clear
and the coal dust has been completely removed.
Attention: Do not wash the carbon pre-filters
through the front dispensers, as the carbon dust
to be removed would enter the equipment tanks,
and could cause them to malfunction and become dirty
and/or reduction of the useful life of certain compo-
nents.
On RO models; rinse the post-filter, to do so connect
the output of the last carbon pre-filter (there may be
1 or 2 depending on the model) with the inlet of the
post-carbon (See indication B, in the flow chart of the
Technical Manual). Disconnect the post carbon outlet
tube (See indication C, in the flowchart of the Techni-
cal Manual). Feed the equipment hydraulically (by ope-
ning the inlet valve) and electrically and direct this tube
towards an external container or sink until the water
runs clear and the carbon dust from the post-filter has
been completely removed.
After washing the filters, leave all the tubes and compo-
nents in their original position and connections.
8. TIGHTNESS CHECK OF THE SYSTEM, STOP
AND START (RO))
Keep the inlet valve open and keep the equipment
powered by performing a visual inspection of the sys-
tem to ensure that there is no leakage (for about 1 mi-
nute).

respective connectors of the IN (input) and OUT / DRA-
IN (drain) equipment, only in the RO version (image 4).
The drain pipe can be directed up a maximum of 2.5
meters vertically and another 5 meters horizontally.
Some models include a connection for emptying from
the drip tray (see the Technical Manual), in this case this
tube must be directed to a drain that is at a lower hei-
ght than the tray since it will empty due to the weight
of water.
Attention: Some of the installation accessories
may vary depending on the model and region in
which the equipment is distributed.
Use the appropriate tools and sealants to ensure the
tightness of the connections.
7. RINSING THE CARBON FILTERS

• Single-use vinyl gloves.
• Hydrogen peroxide detector strips.
• Sanitizing spray. (Hydrogen peroxide)
• Paper napkin.
Perform a sanitization of the equipment during start-
up, when appropriate (every time there is a risk of con-
tamination of the equipment by handling components
in contact with water) or with the indicated periodicity.
To do this, follow the steps below:
Attention: The water used during sanitization
must be potable water (from a public distribu-
tion network, complying with the corresponding
potability requirements of RD 140 / 2003, European
directive 98 / 83 or current local legislation).
• Keep the inlet valve closed (6) and empty the accumu-
lation tank through the front dispensers (see chapter
“how to extract water”).
• Sanitization must be carried out with the new pre- and
post-filters installed and properly rinsed beforehand,
correctly removing carbon dust from them.
• Use single-use vinyl gloves to handle sanitizing pro-
ducts.
10.1 Sanitizing the pre-filters and membrane
Insert the dosing cartridge into the equipment inlet
· Daily empty the drip tray.
9.2 Water treatment maintenance
Attention: Some components of your equipment,
such as pre-filters, membranes and post-filters
(depending on the model), are consumables that
have a limited duration. The duration will depend on
the quality of the local water, consumption, type of use
and specific aspects of the water to be treated such as
extreme turbidity, high chlorination, excess iron.
Attention: In order to guarantee the quality of
the water supplied by your equipment, periodic
maintenance must be carried out.
* Depending on the intended use and characteristics of
the water to be treated.
Maintenance must be carried out by trained personnel,
who must handle the equipment properly, as well as
use original spare parts to maintain the characteristics,
warranty, certifications and benefits of the equipment
and thus preserve the quality of the water dispensed.
Attention: The use of non-original spare parts,
installation outside the operating limits and im-
proper start-up, maintenance or use, may lead
to the loss of the guarantee, as well as the invalidation
of the certifications to which the equipment has been
subjected.
An excess in any compound (total chlorine, turbidity,
hardness, etc.) can cause a reduction in the life of fil-
ters and certain components. These maintenances are
indicative.
Attention: All consumables are delivered with in-
dividual packaging specially designed to guaran-
tee hygienic conditions of storage and transport.
Take extreme hygienic precautions after removing the
consumables from their packaging and when handling
the various connectors and components.
Attention: Before disassembling the equipment,
plan all the material you will need to carry out
the maintenance operations and the necessary
space for it. Work in a properly lit place, in suitable hy-
gienic conditions and with enough space to carry out
operations comfortably.
Recommended maintenance
· Sediment pre-filter: At least every 12 months*
· Carbon pre-filter: At least every 12 months*
· Osmosis membrane: Every 3 years approx. (for soft
water to be treated (hardness >15ºHF)))

tube.
For it:
• Disconnect the inlet pipe to the equipment marked
“IN”, and insert the dosing cartridge between the inlet
valve and the water inlet of the equipment (8). For grea-
ter comfort and ease of access during sanitization and
the opening and closing operations of the inlet valve,
you can insert, together with the sanitizing dosing car-
tridge, a manual valve in the closed position, which will
perform the same functions as the inlet valve.
• Once the assembly is installed, keep the new inlet val-
ve closed and open the inlet valve (9). The dosing cartri-
dge should initially be empty.
• Pour 100 ml of sanitizing product into the dosing car-
tridge inserted in the equipment inlet (10). Screw the
glass correctly to its head.
• On RO models. Connect the equipment to the power
supply.
• Open the water inlet valve to the equipment, allowing
it to start working and allowing the sanitizing product
to be pushed towards it. Keep the inlet valve in that
position and let the equipment run for 10 minutes for
reverse osmosis models and 3 minutes for Filtration and
Ultrafiltration models.
• Close the inlet valve (11) and unplug the equipment
from the electrical supply, wait for the equipment to
stop pouring water through the rejection outlet towards
the drain (reverse osmosis models only).
• Let the filters soaked with the Product rest for 20 mi-
nutes. Meanwhile proceed to sanitize the deposits.
10.2 Sanitization of tanks and front dispenser
• Sanitize the nozzles of the front dispensers using cot-
ton swabs and sanitizing spray.
• Completely empty the deposits through the front dis-
pensers and purge outlet (12). Refill the tanks and empty
them to rinse the sanitizing product remains.
• Remove the complementary elements used for Sani-
tization and reconnect the power tube to the input (IN)
of the equipment.
• Open the inlet valve and electrically feed the equip-
ment so that it starts up.
• Use the sanitizing product detection strips (318701) to
verify that the equipment is properly rinsed, make the
necessary empties in case of detecting sanitizing pro-
duct remains.
11. INTERFACE WITH THE USER
Attention: Depending on the model, the equip-
ment may incorporate an electronic controller
that will efficiently manage the functionality and
status indications in which it is located, as well as the
different security systems.

1. TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
APPLICATION
ROP Model (Reverse Osmosis)
F Models (Filtration)
UF (Ultrafiltration) models
Use
Improvement of the characteristics of drinking water (that complies with the requirements of the European Direc-
tive on water for human consumption 98/83 or its national transpositions in the different member states of the
European Community).
Modifications due to reduction or contribution
Model ROP
• Water treatment by reverse osmosis is capable of reducing the concentration of salts and other substances in
high percentages.
• Minimal reduction* of certain compounds and parameters:
Sodium – 90 %
Calcium – 90%
Sulphate – 90%
Chloride – 90%
Total hardness – 90%
Conductivity – 90%
(*) Depending on the characteristics of the water to be treated (at the membrane outlet). These values may vary
depending on the type of postfilter that the equipment incorporates.
Model F
• Water treatment by filtration retains suspended particles with a diameter greater than 5 microns.
• The carbon filter reduces* the taste and odor of the water, as well as organic components.
(*) Depending on the characteristics of the water to be treated.
Modelo UF
• These equipments consist of a first stage of Filtration.
• Ultrafiltration water treatment is capable of retaining suspended particles with a diameter between 0.1 and 0.001
microns.
(*) Depending on the characteristics of the water to be treated.
