1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations. You have purchased an excellent house-
hold water treatment equipment.
This equipment will help you improve the quality of the
water.
Your equipment provides you with dierent benefits and
advantages:
2. WHAT IS OSMOSIS?
Natural or direct osmosis is the most common in nature,
since most of the organisms contain semi-permeable mem-
branes (for instance, plant roots, organs in our body, cellu-
lar membranes, etc).
When two solutions with dierent salt concentrations are
separated by a semi-permeable membrane, water flows
naturally from the solution with a lower concentration to
that with a higher concentration. This flow continues until
concentrations on both sides of the membrane are equal.
When it comes to reversing this process in order to obtain
water with a low salt concentration using a highly concen-
trated one, it would be necessary to add pressure on the
highly concentrated side, in order to stop this tendency
and reverse the natural flow of the system. This process is
called reverse osmosis. These days, reverse osmosis is the
best method for producing pure water via a physical system
(without using chemical products).
Inlet water presses against the semi-permeable membrane,
so that part of it will get trough the pores of the membrane
(pure water), while the remaining water (rejected or with
high concentrations of salts) is diverted to the drainpipe
(Fig. 1).

3. PRIOR WARNINGS
Warning: Carefully read all warnings included in the
corresponding section of the Technical Manual.
Warning: This equipment IS NOT FIT TO BE USED WITH
WATER UNSUITABLE FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION. If the
water to be treated comes from a public water supply
(and therefore meeting current legislation requirements),
this equipment will substantially improve the water qua-
lity.
Water treatment equipment need to undergo regular main-
tenance, which must be carried out by qualified technical
personnel, in order to guarantee the quality of produced
and supplied water.
3.1. USE OF THE EQUIPMENT
• Should you be away from home for more than a week, clo-
se the water inlet, empty the system and unplug it from
the power supply (PUMP model). On your return, connect
the power supply, open the inlet valve and empty the tank
twice before drinking water.
Warning: Aer a prolonged period (more than a mon-
th) during which the system has not been in operation
or produced water, contact your distributor in order to
carry out proper sanitization and maintenance.
• In order to improve the performance of the equipment, we
recommend filling bottles rather than filling glasses each
time.
Warning: Special attention must be paid to the regu-
lar cleaning and hygiene of the osmosis tap, especia-
lly during periodic maintenance and hygiene. For this
purpose, use the sanitising spray and disposable kitchen
paper towels. Under no circumstances must a hand towel

3.2. RECOMMENDATIONS ON HOW TO PROPERLY USE RE-
VERSE OSMOSIS WATER
If you wish to feed any other consumption point with os-
mosis water (such as a fridge with an ice-cube dispenser,
another tap, etc.), the piping should not be done with a
metal tube, as this would give water a bad taste. Always use
a plastic tube.
Warning: Water supplied by household osmosis equip-
ment has a LOW MINERAL CONTENT. The mineral salts
required by the human body are provided by food,
especially by dairy products and to a lesser degree, by the
water we drink.
4. BASIC OPERATION
Tap water to be treated enters the system going through
the sediment filter and the carbon filters. During this filter-
ing stage, chlorine, its derivatives and other organic sub-
stance particles are retained.
The flow of water towards the equipment is controlled by
an electrovalve, or a 4-way shut-o valve (in function of the
model).
Aer the water passes through the filtering stage, it is fed to
the reverse osmosis membrane. In function of each model,
the equipment may incorporate a pump to increase pres-
sure. It is the eect of the water pressure upon the mem-
brane, which makes the reverse osmosis possible.
Treated water is held in the water tank for its subsequent
use. Water that is rejected or has excessive salt or other
dissolved substances is fed towards the drain outlet to be
disposed of.
When the storage tank is full, a high pressure switch or a
4-way shut-o valve (in function of the model) stops the
equipment.
Models with a built-in pressure pump also have a low pres-
sure switch as a safety system, which protects the pump
against pressure drops by stopping the equipment and pre-
venting a vacuum operation.
When the equipment’s tap is turned on, the water stored
in the tank passes through a post-filtering stage whose aim
is the elimination of possible odours and taste, as well as
pH adjustment, which water may retain before being dis-
pensed.
Warning: In function of the model, there may be small
performance dierences. Please read the correspond-
ing section in the Technical Manual.
5. USER INTERFACE
This equipment does not include an electronic interface.
6. MAINTENANCE
With the aim of guaranteeing the quality of the water supplied
by your equipment, it should undergo regular maintenance.
Read the corresponding section of the Technical Manual to
check the recommended maintenance frequency.

2. HOW THE EQUIPMENT WORKS
• Tap water to be treated enters the system going through the
pre-filtering stage that incorporates a turbidity and a carbon
filter. During this filtering stage, chlorine, its derivatives and
other organic substance particles are retained.
• Water flow to the inside section of the equipment is controlled
via a 4-way electrical shut-off solenoid valve (in function of spe-
cific model).
• After the water passes through the filtering stage, it is fed
to the reverse osmosis membrane. In function of each model,
the equipment may incorporate a pump to increase pressure. It
is the effect of the water pressure upon the membrane, which
makes the reverse osmosis possible.
The treated water is held in the water tank for its subsequent
use. Water that is rejected or has excessive salt or other dis-
solved substances is fed to the drain outlet to be disposed of.
• When the equipment’s tap (G) is turned on, the water stored
in the tank passes through a post-filtering stage (R) whose aim
is the elimination of possible odours and taste, as well as pH
level adjustment (in function of each specific model), which the
water may retain before being dispensed.
