USER MANUAL

Dear Customer,
Thank you for welcoming Forbes into your home!
Your new Forbes Enhance RO, promises to not just
enhance the quality of your water, but also your life.
Because Forbes constantly monitors the quality of
your water ensuring that it is safe and healthy.
Hard water isn't universally the same, which is why
we’ve created the perfect RO water purifier.
The Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) level in water varies in
different regions across the world. Which is why you
need an RO purifier that understands your water, and
removes the right amount of excess salts.
For more information on your new Forbes Enhance
Water Purifier, please go through this user manual.

Your Forbes Enhance is equipped with a multi-stage unique Reverse
Osmosis purification process, to give you pure, fresh water. Reverse
Osmosis is a membrane filtration process in which the water is passed
under high pressure through an advanced Thin Film Composite (TFC)
Membrane, with a 0.0001 micron pore size. The output of the membrane
is purified water, free from micro-organisms and with reduced Total
Dissolved Solids.

Here’s what makes
your Forbes
Enhance unique
E l e c t r o n i c M e m b r a n e L i f e
Enhancer - EMLE
Prevent scaling of dissolved salts
like calcium and magnesium, thus
enhancing the membrane life and
improving water flow.
Enhanced Booster Pump
Drives the water through the
membrane with high pressure,
ensuring constant flow of water.
Automatic Water Level Sensor
The Automatic Water Level Sensor
controls the water level inside the
tank automatically and shuts off the
pump to avoid overflow when the
storage tank is full. Automatically
resumes filtration when the water
level in the purifier goes down.
Dual Flow Tap
Two-way tap to control the flow of
purified water.
Tamper-proof Reject Water Valve
Ensuring a continuous and steady
flow of rejected water, which helps
in cleaning the membrane surface.
The rejected water can be
collected and reused.
Large Storage Capacity
Comes with ample storage
capacity.
No Dry Running of Pump
Saves dry running of pump by
shutting it off automatically if there is
no input water
Enhanced Filtration
Particulate Filter and Clarity
Cartridge provide depth filtration
ensuring crystal clear water and
protection for the membrane.
Enhanced Taste
The special carbon cartridge
removes residual organic impurities
and revives the original taste of
water. The carbon granules polish
the water, giving it a sparkling look,
making it pure and great to taste.
Enhanced Protection
It eliminates tough new-age
dreaded contaminants like lead,
pesticides and heavy metals from
water.

Installing your
Forbes
Enhance
1. Input water must be tested for Total Dissolved Solids (TDS).
2. Install your Forbes Enhance in a dry, ventilated place.
- Keep it away from direct sunlight, heating devices or areas below
freezing temperatures.
- You can keep it on the kitchen counter or on a special wall–mounted
stand.*
3. Connect only to a cold water tap.
- Filters can be damaged if connected to a hot water tap. Ensure the
input water temperature is in the range of 5 - 45ºC.
- Make sure that the tap water pressure is between 0.6 and 2.0 kg/cm
square.
- The proportion of purified and reject water flow is preset at 1:3.
4. Flush filter and membrane thoroughly.
- This must be done prior to collecting the water in the storage tank.
5. Make sure that the reject water hose is placed lower than the top of the
purifier.
- If not, water might flow back into the purifier.
- Make sure that the purifier is installed within a distance of 1.0 m from the tap
water supply.
- Make sure that you connect it to a 230 V power outlet.
- Do not install the purifier in a place where water or rain could leak into it.
Note: If the input water pressure is more than 2kg/cm square, installation of
PRV*(Pressure Reducing Valve) is required.
* Available at extra cost1.

Questions you may
have about RO technology
What is Reverse Osmosis?
Reverse Osmosis (RO) is the reversal of the natural flow of osmosis. In water
purification systems, Reverse Osmosis is used to separate the salts and
other heavy metals from pure water.
What is Forbes RO Enhance?
Forbes Enhance is a domestic RO system that uses reverse osmosis to
remove TDS, lead microbiological contaminants, heavy metals, etc
dissloved in water. The result is pure, safe water that tastes good and is
healthy to drink.
How do I know which purifier I need for my home/office?
Water treatment is like any other treatment of your health - you first need to
know what's wrong with your water, before you treat it.
Forbes, the leader in water purification for 29 years, has a range of products
using different technologies - ranging from RO, NF to UV to UF with optional
attachments to treat excess iron, hardness and arsenic in water. Hence it's
essential that you consult a Forbes Water Specialist who will test your water
and then guide you in making the right decision.
Is RO better technology compared to Ultraviolet (UV)?
Different water quality needs different treatment technology. So if your water
has microbiological, organic and physical contaimination, a UV purifier is
ideal. However, if your water, in addition to the above, also contains TDS,
heavy metals and other pollutants, you will need to install a RO purifier. Both
technologies are good and they each serve a different purpose.
15

Questions you may
have about RO technology
Why does the Forbes RO Enhance purifier need frequent
cleaning/service?
The Forbes Enhance has various filters and the membrane cartridge inside
your water purifier are constantly working to remove/trap physical impurities,
organic and inorganic contaiminants, bacteria, virus and heavy metals, TDS,
lead, arsenic, etc, and keep your family healthy. This is why your purifier needs
to be routinely cleaned and serviced.
How is Forbes RO Enhance different from the other RO purifiers in the
market?
The Enhance uses a multi-stage Reverse Osmosis+ process to provide
pure, sweet tasting water. Its Unique Membrane Cleaning System ensures
superior and effective membrane performance.
