1. UNPACKED
Before installation and start-up, it is important
check the packaging and condition of the equipment to
ensure that it has not been damaged during transport.
Attention: Claims for damage during transport must be
submitted together with the following informa-
tion
with the delivery note or invoice to your distribu-
tor, enclosing the name of the carrier within 24 hours
after receipt of the goods.
Remove the equipment and accessories from their car-
dboard packaging, removing the corresponding protec-
tions.
Caution: Properly dispose of and keep plastic
bags out of the reach of children.
They can be a danger to them.
Inside you will find (depending on the model): Water
treatment equipment, installation accessories and do-
cumentation.
The materials used in the packaging are recyclable and
should be disposed of in the appropriate selective co-
llection containers or at the local waste material reco-
very centre.
This product cannot be disposed of with the usual ur-
ban waste. When the equipment has reached the end
of its useful life, it should be handed
over to the company or centre whe-
re the equipment was purchased, or
to a recycling point or specific local
centre for the recovery of materials,
indicating that it has electrical and
electronic components and refrige-
rant gas.
The correct collection and
treatment of unserviceable equip-
ment, contributes to
preserve natural resources and also to avoid potential
risks to public health.
2. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations. You have purchased one of the best
water treatment systems on the market for commercial
office and home use.
This equipment will help you to improve the charac-
teristics of the water, providing you with water of the
highest quality.
Your equipment will provide you with different benefits
and benefits:
• It is a physical system that does not use or add chemi-
cals to the water.
• Provides high water quality.
• It has a low maintenance cost.
• Ensures high production.
3. TYPES OF COLUMBIA AQUA FC-590 FOUN-
TAIN TREATMENTS
Depending on the model, Columbia dispensers are avai-
lable with different types of water treatment: micro
carbon and NANOFACT filtration.
3.1 What is micro carbon?
Micro carbon filtration is the process of separating
suspended solids in water through a porous medium,
also called a filter. Water passes through the pores of
the filter, but particles larger than the filter pores are
retained.

in it, resulting in clearer water. Columbia dispensers in-
corporate 5µm filters.

Micro carbon is used to remove chlorine from water,
as well as to improve taste, odour and remove some
organic compounds due to its high adsorbent capacity.
3.2 What is Nano Fact filtration?
Fibrillated Adsorbent Cellulose Technology (FACT). The
FACT® material is a paper-like compound consisting
of fibrillated nano- fibres in combination with different
adsorbent particle materials. The resulting structure
shows a small pore size combined with a large pore
area and extremely fast kinetics for adsorption and re-
action. This makes it possible to retain microorganisms,
viruses, bacteria and impurities down to a diameter of
0.2 microns.
4. PRIOR WARNINGS
- These appliances are supplied with refrigerant gas,
ISOBUTANE (R-600a), which is a natural gas with no
harmful effects on the environment, but is flammable.
- The appliance must be transported and moved with
the utmost care so that it is not subjected to excessive
shock or impact. Failure to do so could result in the unit
being put out of service.
- Keep the ventilation openings of the appliance or the
built-in structure free of obstructions.
- Do not damage the cooling circuit. Damage to the
cooling circuit, with possible refrigerant gas leakage,
could create explosion hazards caused by sparks or ex-
ternal flames.
- Under no circumstances should you operate your de-
vice if it appears to be damaged.
- In the event of a malfunction, contact your Technical
Service, ventilate the room where the appliance is lo-
cated and avoid open flames or work on the appliance.
- For recycling, contact your local waste disposal ser-
vice or the seller. The appliance must be transported
without damaging the re-cooling circuit.
- This appliance is intended for use in domestic and si-
milar applications such as staff room areas in stores,
offices, and other retail environments; rural and guest
accommodations in hotels, motels, and other residen-
tial type environments; bed and breakfast type envi-
ronments; restaurant services; and similar non-retail
applications.
Attention: Read carefully and keep this manual
before installing and starting up the equipment. If
you have any doubts about the installation, please read
this manual carefully and keep it in a safe place before
installing and starting up the equipment.
If you have any questions about the installation, use or
maintenance of this equipment, please contact your
distributor's Technical Assistance Service (T.A.S.).
Attention: These equipments ARE NOT POTABI-
LIZERS of water. In case the water to be treated
comes from a public water supply (and therefore com-
plies with the current legislation), these equipments
can be used to treat the water.
The quality of the water will be substantially improved.
Otherwise, a physical-chemical and bacteriological
analysis of the water will be necessary, in order to ensu-
re its correct potabilization by applying the appropria-
