  • Page 2 Index- Page 1 - 2, …..……….. Introduction to Nova Pro Page 3 – 10, ………….. Nova Pro water purification technology and stages explained. Page 11 – 15, ………… Nova Pro Technical information and component locations. Page 16, ..…………….. Tools required for installation Page 17- 18, …………..
  • Page 4 The purpose of the Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual is to give users a reference for Technical Specifications, Connection Diagrams, Installation Procedures, System Operation and System Maintenance of their BMB Technology Reverse Osmosis System. The essential information contained in this manual will allow the user to make full use of the system.
  • Page 5 There is a bit more to the Reverse Osmosis process as it pertains to Reverse Osmosis systems, however, this will be explained in more detail in the upcoming sections. This BMB Technology system harnesses the power of Reverse Osmosis to purify the incoming water. It was specifically designed to enhance the Reverse Osmosis process by using sensors, pumps, probes, minerals, software and other components.

  • Page 7 Fig 3, Reverse Osmosis Membrane – Nova Pro + Biocera A-A Filtration process, The most essential part of any Reverse Osmosis system is its filters. It is also a misconception that all filters remove materials from the incoming water, some filters actually add materials into water to improve the taste, increase the mineral content and other health benefits.
  • Page 8 This BMB Nova Pro Reverse Osmosis System has three state-of-the-art pre-filters. The filter element and housing are a single unit. Consequently, during filter replacement periods they are changed at the same time in order to maintain system hygiene.
  • Page 9 Pre-filters Filter 1 Antibacterial 1 Micron Sediment The two-stage filter is made from nano zinc powder infused, NSF certified polypropylene fibers. The fibers have a +97% efficiency of filtering particles that are 5 microns or larger while the nano zinc powder acts as an antibacterial agent for any microorganisms in the incoming water supply.
  • Page 10 Reverse osmosis Membrane- filters 4 & 5 Total - 600 GPD At the heart of every Reverse Osmosis system is the membrane filter’s. The membrane filter consists of microporous, semipermeable membrane sheets. The sheets are glued to each other around three edges with a thin spacer in between (prevents the sheets from sticking to each other) to form a “leaf”.
  • Page 11 filters. Figure 5 on page 9 shows a detailed schematic of the membrane filter. BMB Technology Reverse Osmosis membranes are made of the highest quality Thin Film Composite (TFC) polyamide and are designed to remove a wide variety of both aesthetic and health related contaminants.

  • Page 18 System on Board Water Ports This system comes with four water ports on the side for easy installation and maintenance. Since the system is wet tested after assembly, it is shipped with plugs on all of the ports in order to prevent any potential leaking in the box from residue water that may be left after testing.
  • Page 19 Sharp Scissors or Knife Shorten tubing if needed BMB Nova Pro does not ship with a tank and unless the water pressure is below 2 bar or the consumption is high (more than 300 liters / day), it will not require one.
  • Page 20 Nova Pro connection diagram Below a connection diagram can be found for the BMB Nova Pro Model. The BMB Nova Pro model is a system that can be used for both residential and commercial applications. The system is a direct flow model (tankless) that does not ship with a tank. Consequently, all purified water is instantaneously generated and consumed (without waiting in a tank) which...

  • Page 22 Using ‘Quick connect fittings’ (push fit) Quick connect fittings (push fittings) are used in a wide variety of plumbing, heating, electrical and fire suppression systems. Quick connect works by inserting the tubing into a connection mechanism that deploys fastening teeth onto the tubing surface. When opposing force is applied to the union, the teeth are forced deeper into the tubing, preventing separation of the union.
  • Page 23 Using push fit connections Step 1: It is essential that the outside diameter of the tubing being inserted into the fitting is completely free of scratch marks, dirt and any other material. Inspect the outside of the tubing carefully. Step 2: It is also very important that the sliced edge of the tubing is cut cleanly.

  • Page 26 5, Install drain saddle connection Select a location for the drain hole based on the design of the plumbing. The drain saddle should be installed above the u-bend if possible, on a vertical tail piece. Locate the drain saddle away from the garbage disposal to prevent potential contamination and system fouling.
  • Page 27 6, Install RO Membranes The RO membranes are supplied in a sterile vacuumed pack. To install remove all plugs in connection ports to release any system pressure build up. *Replace TANK plug. Remove housings as illustrated below and use supplied key to open membrane housing. This can be very tight, install membranes with membrane black washer to the top and refit in reverse order.

  • Page 31 This will allow for pressure to not build up in the system during start-up and this will allow the ‘flush’ of the system b, Open the feed water valve and turn Nova Pro on. During system boot up process, the system will sound a series of beeps and the LED lights on top and front of the system will activate.
  • Page 32 c, Verifying the Installation While the system is waiting in stand-by in the “Tank Full” mode, inspect all of the water connections and make sure there are no leaks (the system should be given 10-20 minutes to make sure the pressure has stabilized enough). Do not forget to open the top cover of the system and look for leaks inside.
  • Page 33 Digital interface All of the models covered in this Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual come standard with the proprietary BMB Technology digital controller. The digital controller enhances the system performance and user experience. It will display produced water TDS & temperature, track filter lifetime, perform auto-flush of membranes, monitor operation mode, protect system from common failures and much more.
  • Page 34 Digital Interface diagram Lights when system is powered on, stays lit. Lights (and beeps) when there is a low/no feed water pressure (below 1 bar). Lights when system is producing water. Lights when system is flushing (90 seconds on system boot up, 5 seconds after each time system is re-pressurized).
  • Page 35 For the above reasons, BMB Technology system filters are given a lifetime of time as opposed to volume. It would be very difficult to count the volume of water produced over time.
  • Page 36 Unplug the system electrical connection System is ready for extended non-use Upon return, follow the procedures on start up. In the event of a leak, turn off the water supply to the Nova Pro Trouble shooting matrix on next page Page 33 of 44...

  • Page 38 Pre and post filter change procedure – Lift unit out of position and have some towels to hand Once the time has come to change the filters, the system has to be prepped for the procedure. Since the system is continuously under pressure, failure to follow these directions can lead to water leakage.
  • Page 39 Post Biocera A-A Filter change- *Note directional flow and replace correct direction The 2 Biocera A-A post-filters on this system have quick connect tubing and fitting connections. Simply remove the inlet and exit quick connect fitting elbows for the post-filters and replace with the new filters.
