Important Instrucations
Reverse Osmosis Process
The Reverse Osmosis process, also known as hyperfiltration, is the finest filtration process known till date. The process ensures the 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 wastewater, and thus do not get accumulated as in a traditional filter.
UV Process
The ultra-violet (UV) light has a shorter wavelength (higher energy) than visible light. It is called ultra-violet because it is just beyond violet light in the light spectrum. Technically, ultra-violet light is defined to be any wavelength of light, which is shorter than 400 nanometers. UV rays, which penetrate into micro-organisms, are absorbed by the DNA of pathogens, 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.
Note: The purified water stored in the tank is disinfected using a UV LED, which automatically switches on for 30 minutes in a two-hour cycle.
Auto-flushing System
The purpose of the Auto-flushing system is to help prevent scaling or fouling of the RO membrane by providing a rapid rinse that washes away impurities from the membrane’s surf supremo and keeps the membrane clean. It offers the following benefits.
- Lowers rejected water outflow
- Improves “TDS” rejection rate i.e increases RO membrane efficiency
- Extends life of RO membrane

Computer Controlled Operation
To ensure delivery of purer and healthier water, a microprocessor is installed in the purifier that performs the following functions:-
UV Stabilization Delay: To ensure that the UV lamp is pre-heated and is working at its optimum level before it starts disinfecting water, the controller provides a two-second delay to the UV lamp when the purifier is switched on. During this period, only the UV lamp is switched on and other electrical devices of the purifier are switched off.
Purification Delay: To ensure that the idle water lying in the internal pipes and in the UV chamber is disinfected before being passed into the storage tank, the system provides a 5-second delay when the purifier is switched on. During this time, the UV lamp kills all micro-organisms that may be in the water inside the UV chamber. After this delay, all other electrical devices such as the booster pump and solenoid valve are switched on to start the normal purification process.
Alarm: To ensure delivery of purer water, KENT Superb Alkaline in-built microcontroller controls and senses various vital components and displays their status on the digital interface.
KENT Superb Alkaline Mineral ROTM Water Purifier is equipped with a safety feature, which displays a warning signal when and if the UV lamp fails or stops working. The purifier would stop purifying water till the UV lamp is not replaced.
