4. Working Principle
4.1. Filtration Process
Tap water enters the system through the tap water switch cabinet, passes through the inlet solenoid valve, and undergoes sequential filtration:
- PP Filter: Removes large impurities like suspended solids, sediments, rust, and colloids.
- PPC Filter: Reduces organic matter, residual chlorine, disinfection byproducts, discoloration, odors, and some heavy metals.
- RO Reverse Osmosis Membrane: Utilizes polymer reverse osmosis technology with a 0.0001 micron pore size for deep purification, removing heavy metals, scale, bacteria, and chemical residues.
- MF (Mineral Alkaline) Filter: Enriches water with calcium and magnesium ions, adjusting pH to 7.5±0.5 for slightly alkaline, healthier drinking water.
After filtration, the purified water is disinfected by a UVAZI ultraviolet lamp and discharged. Wastewater is directed through a wastewater solenoid valve. A water pump powers the filtration process for efficiency.
4.2. Electrical Schematic
The system's power supply (110-240V) is converted to 24V DC by a power adapter, which powers the main control panel. The main control panel manages the water pump, display panel, and switch cabinet, overseeing the entire water purification process, including automatic filtration and flushing functions.

6. Operating Instructions
6.1. Initial Use and Operation
- Open the tap water inlet ball valve and verify that all connections are securely locked and sealed to prevent water leakage.
- Open the water purifier faucet, plug in the power supply, and the machine will begin operation. Allow water to flow for approximately 15 minutes to rinse off the protective liquid from the pipes and membrane. Initially, black water may appear, which is normal. This also exhausts air from the pipes.
- Close the water purifier faucet. The machine display will show "full water". Let it stand for 5 minutes and check all interfaces for leaks.
- If any leaks are detected, immediately turn off the power supply and water inlet valve, then inspect and rectify the leakage point.
6.2. Display Screen Instructions
Diagram of Display Screen (refer to original user manual for visual representation):
The display features icons for Purify, Standby, Rinse, Fault, Reset, Flush, and filter cartridge indicators (I, II, III, IV) along with a central number display.
- Middle Number Icon: Turn on the tap to view the real-time TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) value of the water.
- Purification Icon: When the tap is on, the machine enters purification mode, and this icon flashes. It stops flashing and the machine enters standby mode once purification is complete.
- Standby Icon: When the tap is off, the machine enters standby mode, and this icon flashes.
- Flushing Icon: This icon flashes when the machine is in flushing mode.
- Fault Icon: If the inlet valve does not detect water, the machine enters fault mode, and this icon flashes.
- Filter Cartridge Icons (I, II, III, IV): Each icon represents a filter cartridge with a specific lifespan (I: 60 hours, II: 60 hours, III: 120 hours, IV: 80 hours). When a filter reaches its end-of-life, a buzzer sounds 10 times, and its indicator light flashes, prompting replacement.
- Reset Function: Press and hold the "Reset" button for 3 seconds to enter filter cartridge reset mode. The indicator for the selected filter flashes, others turn off. Press again to select the next filter. Hold "Reset" for 3 seconds to reset the currently selected filter.
- Flushing Button: Press once to start backwash flushing; press again to cancel.
7. Maintenance
7.1. Filter Element Replacement Cycle
Over time, impurities accumulate in the filter elements, reducing water output. Regular replacement is crucial for optimal performance. The recommended replacement cycle, assuming standard raw water temperature, pressure, and quality, is as follows:
- General Recommendation: Replace all filter cartridges annually.
- Specific Filter Lifespans:
- PP Filter: 6-12 months
- PPC Filter: 6-12 months
- RO Membrane: 12-24 months
- MF (T33) Filter: 6-12 months
Replace filters promptly if any of the following occur:
- The TDS value displayed on the front LED panel increases significantly.
- The purified water output decreases significantly.
- The smart reminder function is triggered (based on cumulative operation hours: I 60h, II 60h, III 120h, IV 80h).
Image: Recommended replacement times for each filter type: PP (1 year), PPC (1 year), RO (2 years), MF (1 year).
Image: Filters can process up to 4000 liters of water. All filter elements need to be replaced periodically.
7.2. Steps to Replace the Filter Element
- Turn off the water inlet valve. Press the backwash button, and after 5 seconds, turn on the faucet. When the machine indicates water shortage, unplug the power supply.
- Carefully remove the machine's outer shell. Use the special wrench to unscrew the filter element cover. Pull out the old filter element and install the new filter element in the correct sequence.
- After restoring the water supply, check all connections for any water leakage.
8. Troubleshooting

| Pump failure | Inform maintenance personnel for on-site debugging or replacement |
9. User Tips
- Many users report satisfaction with the filtration quality, noting improved water taste after replacement.
- Regularly check the water taste; if it changes, it might be an indicator to check or replace filters, even if the system hasn't prompted it yet.
- Keep track of your purchase date to help with annual replacement schedules.
10. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q: How effective is the filtration against calcium?
- A: The RO (Reverse Osmosis) membrane is highly effective at removing dissolved solids, including calcium, which contributes to hard water. This significantly reduces scale buildup and improves water quality.
- Q: What is the micron rating of the PP sediment filter?
- A: The PP (Polypropylene) sediment filter typically provides fine filtration, often in the range of 1 to 5 microns, to effectively remove suspended solids and sediments.
