    Chlorine reduction in one cartridge. The advantage of parallell flow is the lower pressure drop, which becomes more important at high water flow (RO600 compared with RO400). The finer particle filtration gives an improvement not only on the membrane service life, but also the integrated high pressure pump (e20).
  • Page 12: Pump System

    pROduCt desCRiptiOn pump system After the water has passed the prefilters, it passes through the high pressure pump (e20). The high pressure pump is a vane pump, belt (e18) driven by a motor (e33). The pump is mounted in a special designed pump housing (e21) in brass. The integration of several parts and components in the pump housing is the key to the compact size of the product.

    pROduCt desCRiptiOn puRified wateR system After the purified water leave the membrane pressure vessel, it pass through the pressure regulating valve (e30). This is a safety feature, to avoid high pressure to the distribution net in case of failure, and to protect the the product from water ham- mer when a valve or faucet is closed on the pure water hose.
  • Page 14: Water Quality Monitoring

    wateR quality mOnitORing Purified water quality is monitored continously with a conductivity sensor (e25) positioned in the water flow just before the purified water outlet. conductivity is the measure of the ability for a material to conduct electricity, in this case in water. With a high concentration of ions in the water will the conductiv- ity be high, and vice versa.
