ASTOR RO+UV+MTDS
ALKALINE

Product installation should be done only by a trained Eureka Forbes Service Technician only.
1. Input water must be tested forTotal Dissolved Solids (TDS) andTotal Hardness
- Install the product in a dry ventilated place. Keep it away from direct sunlight, heating devices or areas below 10oC.
- The purifier should be placed in area which is free of ants/insects/other pests.
- Ensure that the input tap water temperature is in the range of 10o-40oC.Avoid installation to ahot water tap as it can damage the filters.
2. The input water pressure to your water purifier should be within the recommended range (refer variant specific technical specifications table). If
the input water pressure is more than specified, installation of a PRV (Pressure Regulating Valve)** is mandatory. If the input water pressure is
less than specified, installation of an external booster pump** is recommended.
3. Ensure that the filters are flushed thoroughly and independently for 3-5 minutes to remove fine particles present in the filter, before the installation
of the unit.
4. After installation, run the purifier for 5-10 minutes and drain the water.
Input waterquality usage limitations:
1. If the input water iron content is more than that prescribed in the technical specifications, use of an iron remover** is recommended as a pre-
treatment.
2. If the input water turbidity is more than that prescribed in the technical specifications or comprises colloidal particles, use of a special filter** is
required as a pre-filter.
3. If the input water TDS is more than 1,000 ppm (mg/L) or input water hardness is more than 300 ppm (mg/L), use of a Membrane life enhancer**
is recommended (applicable only for RO variants).
4. Do not install the water purifier if the TDS is more than that prescribed in the technical specifications.
**Availableat an extra cost.
PREREQUISITES FOR INSTALLATION

TDS modulator is located inside the product. As per factory setting, it comes in fully closed mode. TDS level of output water
can be increased by slowly loosening the spindle of the TDS modulator (anticlockwise). Normally a slight quarter turn is
enough to increase the TDS of the output water. Rotating the spindle in the clockwise direction closes the TDS modulator and
reduces the level of TDS blending.
Please note that the TDS blending, and its adjustment is dependent upon the level of TDS of input water and on the TDS
reduction capacity of the RO membrane. TDS adjustment should be done by the authorized Eureka Forbes technician only.

TIPS FOR SAFETYAND MAINTENANCE

RECYCLE & REUSE OF FLUSHED OUT WATER (applicable for RO variants only)
Water is a rapidly depleting resource. It is our moral responsibility to ensure that water is recycled as much as possible.
Flushed out water from a RO system is an unavoidable technology limitation. It maintains the performance of the purification process and
the service life of the membrane also. Eureka Forbes has taken utmost care to minimize the water wastage in our RO system without
compromising on the performance of the product.
The water flushed out by your Aquaguard®RO Water Purifier can be collected and used for several purposes.
Watering
plants
Daily household cleaning
tasks like mopping floors,
cleaning bathrooms,
kitchen sinks, etc.
Flushed Water can be used for :
Drinking Washing clothes
Flushed Water cannot be used for :

"Protection" has always been our motto and guiding principle. We care for the environment. We urge you to recycle the packaging material or
take it to the nearest recycling facility rather than dispose it off with the rest of your waste. Your product has been designed to work for many
years, however, should you wish to upgrade or replace your old product, remember to help protect the environment by disposing it off at your
local e-waste disposal center. Should you have any queries, the nearest authorized service center of Eureka Forbes will be able to guide you.
Allow us to become your environment partner; together we can make the world a cleaner place.
ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION:
HEALTH PROTECTTM
For your safety the specially designed and electronically authenticated purification cartridges of Aquaguard ensure our promise of 'pure &
healthy water or no water' always. In the unlikely usage of a 'non-genuine' purification cartridge that could potentially deliver unsafe water - an
indication light will draw your attention. For your complete protection, it even shuts down the purification process. The purification cartridges
are designed to provide safe water for a period of 1 year or 6000 liters#from the date of installation whichever is earlier. Post the safe life, for
your complete protection, the machine gives you an advance alert after which it shuts down the purification process and water dispensing.
#Standard Test Conditions. Depending on the input water quality (variations in the standard test conditions) the filter might need a
replacement even before the purifier gives you an alert.
