ZIP compact, domestic RO purifier to meet these challenges with the highest quality solutions. Your ZIP RO purifier will provide many benefits and advantages: ZIP is a physical system that does not use or add chemicals to the water. Provides high quality water. Ensures high production.
Prefilter Stage 2. pesticides and chemicals that contribute Carbon to undesirable taste and odor. This is the heart of the ZIP Purifier, and removes 75GPD RO Stage 3. contaminants down to a molecular level. membrane (see page 6 for an explanation of “What is Reverse Osmosis” ) Removes any remaining odors and tastes, and adds Stage 4.
Today, reverse osmosis is one of the best methods for improving the characteristics of water by a physical process (without using chemicals). For ZIP video walkthroughs and online user guide, please visit: https://puricomusa.com/guide/...
RO MEMBRANE HOW DOES THE MEMBRANE WORK? Pressure is applied to the water on the inlet side of the semi permeable membrane, so that part of it (RO water) will flow through the pores of the membrane, while the rest of the water (water rejected with high salt concentration) will be diverted back to the supply pitcher to recycle and optimize performance.
The chemical composition and concentration of salts and other substances in the inlet water will affect the water produced. The reverse osmosis membrane of the ZIP Purifier is able to reduce the concentration of elements and compounds listed in the following tables and more.
ZIP is designed for TDS up to 800 ppm. For TDS above 800 ppm, consult your dealer. (If the water being used is from a public supply, it will comply with...
2. Equipment must be operated on a level surface and not inclined. (fig. 2) 3. Plug the transformer wire into the power socket on the back of the ZIP. Plug the electric cord into a wall socket. (fig. 3) (The Push Button Control LED will glow blue) 4.

Press the control button once. (fig. 7) The purifier will draw water from the supply pitcher and direct purified water to the Pure Water Tank.
PUSH BUTTON CONTROL PUSH BUTTON CONTROL - USER INTERFACE ZIP Purifier has a blue, yellow and red color coded LED electronic control which integrates a timer, and security functions to efficiently manage the filtering cycle and indicate any malfunctions detected.
/ 13 TREATMENT CYCLE FILTER CHANGE Time to change filters. Flashing red INDICATOR RO MEMBRANE Time to change CHANGE RO membrane. Steady red INDICATOR TREATMENT CYCLE TIME The time required to complete one cycle will vary according to water quality, water temperature and how long the filters have been used.
14 \ WATER SUPPLY CHANGING WATER IN SUPPLY PITCHER. After completing a filter cycle, completely empty the supply pitcher, and refill with fresh water before starting another cycle. The water remaining in the supply pitcher after a filtration cycle has a higher concentration of TDS, so starting a new cycle, by adding fresh water to this remaining concentrate water will lower system performance and can damage the RO membrane and filters.
/ 15 CLEANING Notice: Water should not be stored in the purifier for extended periods of time exceeding one week. If you plan to not use the purifier for more than one week, completely empty the water supply pitcher and pure water reservoir, and disconnect the power supply.
16 \ FILTER REPLACEMENT FILTER REPLACEMENT Periodic filter replacement is required to insure water quality and proper performance of filters. These are the recommended filter change periods to be used as a guideline for municipal inlet water. Filters may need to be changed more often if inlet water is of lower quality.
/ 17 POSTFILTER REPLACEMENT 4. Once unscrewed, remove from purifier. 5. Remove new filter from packaging and insert into purifier by gently pushing upwards while rotating counterclockwise until seated in place. (fig. 6 above) 6. Replace back cover. 7. Reset filter indicator light. See page 22 for filter notice reset procedure. POSTFILTER REPLACEMENT To change the postfilter, proceed as follows.
18 \ QUICK CONNECTORS 4. Unscrew the elbow connectors from the ends of the postfilter. (fig.10) 5. Remove new post filter from its wrapping and screw the elbow connectors into the ends of the new postfilter. (fig. 11) 6. Insert the tubes into the top and bottom elbow connectors paying attention to the direction of flow indicated by the arrow on the outside of the post filter, (top to bottom).
/ 19 RO MEMBRANE REPLACEMENT RO MEMBRANE REPLACEMENT How to tell if the RO membrane needs replacement: The condition of the membrane is assessed by testing the percent TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) rejection: Using a TDS meter, compare the TDS of the inlet water to the pure RO water, and obtain the percentage of TDS rejection.
