ATTENTION!
The efficiency of RO depends on the incoming
tap water mineralization and tap water pressure
(please see Table 1). The recommended operation
of RO requires tap water pressure of at least 0.2
MPa (2 bar / 29.01 psi).
When tap water pressure is less than illustrated
in the Table 1, it is highly recommended to install
a booster pump in order to obtain drainage ratio.
2. Safety instructions
WARNING:
RO must be applied to potable
water only.
It is highly recommended that a water treatment
specialist be hired to install and maintain this
appliance.
When installing the appliance into a local water
supply, it is recommended that you conduct a
full water analysis. If the water analysis does
not correspond with the requirements, the life
of the filtration and membrane cartridges may
be significantly reduced. In this case, it is rec-
ommended to use auxiliary water treatment
systems (e.g. mechanical filter, de-ironing filter
with, or alongside a water softener). Only use
microbiological safe water with your Reverse
Osmosis system appliance.
CAUTION:
Do not use water that is microbi-
ologically unsafe or water of unknown quality
without adequate disinfection before or after
using the appliance.

CAUTION:
Reverse Osmosis water should not
be run through copper tubing as the purity of
the water will leach copper and cause an objec-
tionable taste in the water. Additionally, it will
form pinholes in the tubing. Be sure to follow
any state or local regulations.
CAUTION:
The Reverse Osmosis system is de-
signed to be connected to cold water only. Never
run warm or hot water through your appliance.
