HydroPower® RO Operating the HydroPower RO 4.3.2 Operating the HydroPower RO Water inlet Carbon/sediment combi pre-filter RO membrane DI resin filter Water outlet What is Pure Water? Pure Water is water in its purest form, physically processed to remove the minerals that would otherwise lead to limescale spots and streaks.
HydroPower® RO Startup 4.4 Startup CAUTION Minor or moderate injuries due to pressurized containers possible. The three (3) filter housings are pressurized during operation. Never open a housing or remove a hose during operation. Check if the hoses and tubes are water-tight and fit properly before starting up the system.
HydroPower® RO Startup 4.4.1 Starting up a HydroPower RO: The pre-filter and the resin filter are not inserted in new or used units, as they must not come into contact with the membrane care liquid. Before using the resin filter, the membrane care liquid must be completely rinsed out. 1.
HydroPower® RO Operation Operation of the HydroPower RO General information The operating instructions must be read and understood before operating the HydroPower RO. DANGER Severe injuries or death and property damage due to the HydroPower RO falling are possible. Place the unit on a level surface only. Make sure the unit is standing securely.
HydroPower® RO Operation 5.2 Cleaning surfaces with the HydroPower RO The HydroPower RO has two water out modes: PURE and TAP BOOST. PURE: This mode is used for spotless cleaning of windows and facades and gives out up to 150l/h (39 gal./h) of pure water with 58 PSI (4 bar) (at 18°C [64°F] water temperature with a 12.5mm [1/2”] hose).
HydroPower® RO Operation/Troubleshooting 5.4 Turning off the HydroPower RO To switch off the HydroPower RO after finishing the work, proceed as follows: 1. For a longer service life, the membrane should be flushed for approximately five (5) minutes after work. To do this, set the upper rotary switch to “RO FLUSH”...
HydroPower® RO Troubleshooting 6.1.3 Overheating Always ensure that the HydroPower RO is well ventilated and is not too close to objects or walls which could prevent proper air circulation. 1. If the pump motor overheats, the HydroPower RO will automatically stop. 2.
General information DANGER Electric shock possible through live parts. Maintenance of the electrical components of the system should only be carried out by employees of Unger or authorized distributors / technicians. CAUTION Burns due to hot surfaces possible. The housing of the pump motor can become hot during operation.
”7.2.3 Membrane protection.” If the membrane is not regularly flushed or protected with the UNGER membrane care liquid, there is a risk of blockage and thus a strong reduction in the unit‘s performance or damage to the unit.
If the HydroPower RO is not in use for an extended period of time (longer than 7 days), the membrane must be protected against mineral deposits. For this purpose, there is the UNGER Membrane Care Fluid. You need one bottle (1l) to treat the membrane. This preserves the current state of the membrane and prevents reduced performance and/or damage after non-use.
