KENT TECHNOLOGY - A Breakthrough in Water Purification

Presenting the KENT ACE Mineral RO™ Water Purifier, it uses futuristic and state-of-the-art technology to provide pure & healthier drinking water. The heart of KENT ACE Mineral RO™ Water Purifier is a Reverse Osmosis membrane having capillaries as small as 0.0001 microns that reduces even dissolved impurities (salts and heavy metals) and even converts hard water to sweet and purer drinking water. KENT ACE Mineral RO™ Water Purifier also allows the user to control the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) level of purified water.

Diagram Description (RO Process): A schematic illustrates the water purification flow. Raw water enters, passes through Sediment Filter, Activated Carbon Filter, RO Membrane, UF Membrane, TDS Control Valve, and UV LED, then into the Storage Tank. Rejected water is sent to drain.

Reverse Osmosis Process

The Reverse Osmosis process, also known as hyper filtration, is the finest filtration process known till date. The process ensures reduction of particles as small as ions from a solution. Reverse Osmosis uses a semi-permeable membrane to reduce salts from potable / brackish water. In Reverse Osmosis, water pressure applied to the concentrated side forces the process of osmosis into reverse. Under enough pressure, treated water is "squeezed" through the membrane from the concentrated side to the diluted side. Salts dissolved in water as charged ions are repelled by the RO membrane. The rejected impurities on the concentrated side of the membrane are washed away in a stream of waste water and thus do not get accumulated as in a traditional filter.

UV Process

The UV light has shorter wavelength (higher energy) than the visible light. It is called ultra-violet because it is just beyond violet light in the light spectrum. Technically, the ultra-violet light is defined to be any wavelength of light which is shorter than 400 nanometer.

UV rays, which penetrate into the micro-organisms, are absorbed by the DNA of the pathogen in the water. The DNA is altered in such a way that the pathogen cannot reproduce itself. Thus, it is essentially killed and cannot cause infection. This process of DNA modification is called inactivation.

Diagram Description (UV Spectrum): A graph displays electromagnetic radiation wavelengths. It shows X-Rays, Ultraviolet (UVA, UVB, UVC) from 200-400 nm, Visible light (400-700 nm), Infrared, Microwaves, and Radio waves. The UV range is highlighted as having shorter wavelengths and higher energy.

Water Flow Diagram

Diagram Description (Water Flow): A detailed schematic shows the water flow path through the purifier's components. It includes connections for raw water, reject water, and purified water, with labels for various filters, membranes, pumps, and switches. A table lists the specific components by code and description.

Electrical Circuit Diagram

Diagram Description (Electrical Circuit): A schematic illustrates the electrical connections within the purifier. It shows the flow from the power input through components like SMPS, Low Pressure Switch, Float Micro Switch, Solenoid Valve, Booster Pump, and UV LED Driver to the UV LED. A table lists the specific electrical components by code and description.

NOTE: The above specifications are subject to modifications for improvement without notice.

UV LED Failure alarm

KENT ACE Mineral RO™ Water Purifier has an in-built feature that sounds an audible alarm if the UV lamp malfunctions. This feature is provided to ensure purity. This UV Fail Alarm will sound as following: Two short beeps after every two seconds.

In case such an alarm is audible, kindly switch off the purifier and call the service technician for help. The purifier will stop its purification process in such a circumstance.

Automatic Operation

• The purifier automatically shuts off when the storage tank is full.
• The purifier does not start when inlet water supply pressure falls below 0.3 kg/cm².
• The purifier automatically restarts when water level drops below the maximum.
• The purifier does not allow any water rejection in absence of electricity/when tank is full.

Installation Procedure:

Wall Hanging Diagram:

Diagrams show how to mark and drill holes on a wall, insert screws, and hang the purifier using its mounting slots.

1. Paste the central drill sticker on wall at (3.6 feet to 4.0 Feet from the ground) as per your convenience.
2. Ensure that the sticker is pasted straight on the wall, then drill holes as per the space provided on sticker.
3. Now, insert the puff-up with the help of a hammer.
4. Screw in two 10X50 self-taping screws, 5.4 inches (138 mm) apart horizontally.
5. Carefully hang the purifier on the wall with the help of wall-mounting slot holes provided on the back side of the purifier.

Note:

1. If the wall is not straight or the screws are not properly drilled in an even position, it will damage your purifier.
2. Keep the device away from heat or direct sunlight.

Step-2:

Diagrams illustrate connecting a 3-way connector to the water supply, attaching the SS ball valve, and connecting the white food-grade pipes for 'WATER IN' and 'REJECT WATER' to the purifier and drain.

1. First fix the SS ball valve (marked as no. 4) to the 1/4 inch port of the 3-way connector (marked as no. 2) as shown in figure 2.
2. Connect the 3-way connector to the raw water supply (marked as no. 1) as shown in the figure 3. The 3-way connector is fit in line with the raw water supply.
3. The other end of the 3-way connector can be connected to a tap (marked as no.3) as shown in figure or can be plugged off if not required.

Step-3:

1. Now connect one end of the white pipe to SS ball valve and another end to the upper push-fit elbow fitting to the left hand side of the purifier labelled as WATER IN, as shown in fig 1.
2. Similarly, connect one end of the white pipe to the lower elbow fitting connector in tank labelled as REJECT WATER and leave the other end in the drain, as shown in fig 2.

Step-4:

Before connecting the power supply, it is important that you perform the following functions:

1. Open the SS ball valve (Handle parallel to the ball valve) to start the flow of water into the purifier, as shown in the figure.
2. Wait for 2-3 minutes to ensure that the filters are soaked in water.

Step-5:

1. Connect the power supply.
2. Installation is complete.

TDS Adjustment

The unique TDS Controller enables customers to retain the contents of natural minerals in purified water, as per their requirement.

• Turning the screw of the valve anti-clockwise, results in an increased mineral content.
• Turning the screw of the valve clockwise, results in a decreased mineral content.

Starting-up the Purifier

• Switch on the power supply.
• Wait till the storage tank fully fills up**.
• Switch off the power supply.
• Drain the storage tank by opening the drain plug present at the bottom of the storage tank so as to remove any dust particles present in the pipes and storage tank.
• Close the drain plug & switch on the power supply.
• The purifier is ready to use.

Recommended Uses of Rejected Water

Rejected water has high concentration of salts and usually goes down the drain, but if required, can be used for gardening purposes. It has high concentration of salts and minerals which accelerate plant growth. Rejected water can also be used for cleaning purposes, i.e. utensils cleaning, mopping the floor etc.

Maintenance

To ensure that the purifier operates at its optimum level, a routine maintenance must be performed. The frequency of the maintenance will greatly depend upon the raw water quality and consumption of treated water.

• Storage tank must be drained once in 2 weeks. To do so, switch off the power supply, open the drain plug at the bottom of the tank & allow the water to drain. Then screw back the plug and switch on the power supply.
• Replace sediment, activated carbon & post carbon when the filter change alarm is audible OR after every 12 months. It is recommended to change the FRT when the filters are replaced.
• Replace the RO membrane once in a year.
• If you are not going to use the purifier for a long time (in case you are on a holiday, tour or out of home), make sure that you disconnect the power supply, turn off the raw water supply and drain the storage tank.

The reverse osmosis system contains a replaceable treatment component critical for the effective reduction of total dissolved solids and that product water shall be tested periodically to verify that the system is performing properly.

Replacement of spare parts are as under:

Note: Filters and membranes are consumables. Their replacement time depends upon the quality of raw water and water consumption. They are not covered under the warranty. However, if a filter chokes within six months and a membrane within a year, it will be cleaned/repaired/replaced free of cost. Changing the filters and system inspection is available on call. The treatment capacity of RO membrane will reduce with time due to clogging of pores of membranes.

This reverse osmosis system contains a replaceable component critical to the efficiency of the system. Replacement of the reverse osmosis component should be with one of identical specifications as defined by the manufacturer, to ensure the same efficiency and contaminant reduction performance.
