RO-Reverse osmosis filter
General information on reverse osmosis
2. General information on reverse osmosis
The reverse osmosis process is an eco-friendly, physical technology for desalination
of drinking water without chemicals, for the purpose of generating pure water for
industry and cleaning.
The advantages of the reverse osmosis process compared to other desalination meth-
ods are substantial:
•
Maximum removal of all dissolved and dispersed water constituents (anions and cations
of salts, airborne particles, colloids, organic compounds, etc.).
•
Low operating costs, high use-value, quick amortisation.
•
Minimal pre-treatment.
•
Continuous operation.
•
Small space requirement.
•
High and consistent pure water quality.
•
User-friendly and eco-friendly method, requiring no regeneration of the
•
membrane since no acids or bases are used as in chemical desalination.
Important information
To prevent damage to the system and modules, please thoroughly read and
observe the operating instructions prior to installation and start-up!
ATTENTION!
The fed water must be in compliance with the German Drinking Water Regulation. It
must be completely free of iron-manganese heavy metals (max. 0.05 mg/l manganese,
max. 0.2 ml/l iron); the maximum silicate (SiO2) content may not exceed 20 mg/l. In ad-
dition, the feed water must not contain any barium and strontium. RO60C and RO60S
are already equipped with a carbon pre-filter as standard equipment.
It is essential to also observe the following:
•
The system must be connected to a cold water supply.
The water temperature shall be max. 25°C.
•
If the raw water supply or power supply is interrupted for more than 1 week, the
system must be prepared according to the storage regulations. Another possibility
is to operate the system at least every 7 days for approx. 5 minutes.
•
Preparation for storage regulations, see also item 7.
•
Please make sure filters are replaced on a regular basis (pre-filters, as well as any
installed activated carbon filter).
