To obtain maximum effectiveness of your RO System the water has to meet the chemical
parameters guidelines listed in the table below. Otherwise consult your local dealer to reduce
these substances in your water.
The Vitapur
®
Reverse Osmosis System uses a semi-permeable membrane to reduce dissolved
salts and minerals, improving the taste and colour of your water. The RO membrane is made
of layers of micron-thin film wound around a hollow center core. Water molecules are able
to pass through the membrane, but dissolved salts and minerals are rejected. The Vitapur
®
Reverse Osmosis system features 3, 4 and 5 stage filter action. Your water supply is pre-filtered
to reduce dirt and chlorine that may foul the membrane. The RO membrane separates the
pre-filtered water into Product Water and Reject Water. Incoming water pressure forces the
product water through the membrane and into the storage tank. Dissolved solids and other
contaminants cannot pass through the membrane and are sent to the drain as reject water.
When you open the drinking water faucet, product water is drawn from the storage tank
through an activated carbon post-filter, providing you with pure great-tasting water.
How ReveRse osmosis woRks:
This Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water system has been designed for quick and simple installation
and maintenance. By carefully reading this instruction manual and following the operational
guidelines you will insure a successful installation and reliable operation. Routine maintenance
is essential to the longevity and performance of the system. Carbon and Sediment Filters should
be changed every six months to twelve depending on the quality of the feed water supply.
This RO System uses a TFC-Thin Film composite membrane. To maximize the effectiveness of this
system the water supply should meet the following guideline:
