INSTALLER AND USER GUIDE FOR REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM ECOSOFT ROBUST 1000, ROBUST 3000

1. APPLICATION

Reverse osmosis process is one of the most advanced technologies of water purification. Reverse
osmosis filter uses a special semipermeable membrane similar in its structure and properties to the
membrane of a living cell. It can be conceived of as having tiny pores that are 200 times smaller
than viruses and 4000 times smaller than most bacteria. The principle of reverse osmosis water pu-
rification is modelled after living cell's natural water cycle. It allows purifying drinking water from all
harmful impurities, including nitrates and viruses (see Figure 1 below). Only molecules of a certain
size can penetrate through cellular membrane.

Ecosoft RObust is a high recovery direct flow operation capable reverse osmosis system. The system
can be equipped with a pressure tank for increasing purified water flow rate, and its multistage
design allows obtaining a high recovery up to 50%.
The system is tapped in water mains using feed adapter and feed valve. Tube is run from feed valve
to the inlet port in system's port rack (labeled). The port rack also includes connection ports for the
drain, pressure tank 6 (if used), and purified water faucet 1 or purified water pipe. Feed water first
undergoes pre-filtration in the sediment and carbon pre-filters where it is stripped of suspended
particles (rust, sand, hemp strands etc.), organic color and chlorine compounds. Pressure gauge no.
