- Purification Process: Illuminates when water purification is active.
- Tank Full: Indicates the purified water storage tank is full.
- UV Fail Buzzer/Alarm: Alerts if the UV lamp is not functioning correctly, indicating a potential issue with UV disinfection.
4.4. Taste Enhancer
The integrated Taste Enhancer helps improve the palatability of the purified water. If available, adjust the taste enhancer knob (if present) to your preference. Refer to the installation technician for guidance on initial adjustment.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and efficient operation of your Livpure PEP Star Water Purifier. Adhere to the recommended service schedule.
