PRESENTATION AND INTRODUCTION

We welcome you. Thank you for trusting our product. Complying with the advanced reverse osmosis technology, this model is designed thought for a long duration in all families. This system is placed on the countertop.
No chemicals or electricity are needed to produce quality water. The equipment is able to eliminate over 95% of total dissolved solids, +99% of all organic remains, +99% of all bacteria and reduces up to 99% chlorine, improving the taste and quality of water. This equipment also eliminates harmful materials such as lead, copper, barium, chromium, mercury, sodium, radmium, fluoride, nitrite or selenium, which may be present in your water, providing pure and healthy water.

IMPORTANT: KEEP THIS MANUAL.

WHAT IS REVERSE OSMOSIS

Reverse osmosis was originally designed to make seawater drinkable for the Navy. It is deal for anyone with a low sodium diet. A reverse osmosis membrane has a much smaller pore size than a bacterium orr parasite. When working properly, it will remove all miccroorganisms from tap water producing sterile water.

Reverse osmosis is the reversal of the natural flow of the osmosis. In the water purification system, the objective is to dilute the salt solution, but separating the pure water from the salt and other contaminants.
When the natural flow is reversed, the water in the salt solution is forced to pass through the membrane in the opposite direction by applying pressure (the term reverse osmosis). Through this process, we are able to produce pure water by removing salts and other contaminants.

WATER QUALITY

In the drinking water, you will notice an improvement in taste, just as it will be better for your coffee maker, for making ice cubes or for making juices. When cooking with purified water you will be able to taste the flavor of the food better. It will be a healthier water for your children and good for your plants.
This water treatment is recommended for those who suffer from hypertension, as it is a water of low mineralization. It is ideal for steam irons. Osmotized water will help prolong the life of your appliances.

WATER POLLUTION

• Environmental water is increasingly polluted by domestic, agricultural and industrial waste.
• Domestic wastes (human wastes, washing wastes or chemical cleaning products), which have increased considerably due to the increase in population centers close to traditional channels, in many case end up in natural aquifers.
• Residues of agricultural origin, such as slurry and excrement, chemical fertilizers, nitrates, herbicides and pesticides, as well as industrial residues, appear more and more in natural aquifers.
• The water supply companies filter the water and add chemicals (e.g. chlorine) to disinfect it and this prevent infectious diseases such as typhus, diphtheria, etc.
• For this reason, the water we receive in our homes could carry traces of chemicals and residues of chlorination, such as trihalomethanes, very harmful to health, in addition to sodium, calcium and other minerals in excessive amounts.
