Important Instructions

 

Reverse Osmosis Process

Reverse Osmosis also known as Hyper Filtration, is the finest filtration process known till date. The process ensures removal of particles as small as ions from a solution. Reverse Osmosis process uses a semi-permeable membrane to reduce the dissolved salts from potable I brackish water. In Reverse Osmosis, water pressure is applied on the inlet impure water resulting into the squeezing of purer water from the concentrated end of membrane towards the diluted end. Dissolved salts present in water as charged ions get repelled by the RO membrane and are not allowed to pass through. Similarly, bacteria and germs are also blocked by the ultra-fine pores of RO membrane.These rejected impurities suspended on the concentrated end of the membrane are washed away in a stream of waste water preventing themembrane from clogging.

 

UV Process

The ultra-violet (UV) light has shorter wavelength (higher energy) than visible light. It is called ultraviolet 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 nanometer.

UV rays, which penetrate into micro-organisms, are absorbed by the DNA of 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.

 

Auto-flushing System

The purpose of the Auto-flushing System is to help prevent scaling or fouling of the ROmembrane by providing a rapid rinse which washes away impurities from the membrane’s surface and keeps the membrane clean. It offers following benefits:

• Lowers outflow of rejected water.
• Improves TDS rejection rate i.e increases RO membranes efficiency.
• Extends life of RO membrane.

Automatic Operation

• The purifier automatically shuts off when the tank is full.
• The purifier does not start when inlet water supply pressure fall below 0.3kg/cm2
• The purifier automatically restarts when the water level drops below the maximum level
• The purifier does not allow any water rejection in absence of electricity/when tank is full
• The purifier automatically flushes & cleans the RO membrane on periodic intervals

 

Installation Instructions

KENT Elite+ is designed to facilitate wall mounting as well as counter-top purification. It is easyand convenient to install.

Recommended Site Preparations:

• Single phase 100-250 V AC, 50-60 Hz. supply not more than 3m away from the point ofinstallation
• Raw water supply with Y. inch nipple not more than 3m away
• Drain for reject water not more than 3m away
• Installation space as per the dimensions of the purifier
• For proper installation, make sure that the purifier is mounted on a wall surface. Avoidinstallation on wooden and metallic stands
• For optimum inlet pressure, source water tank should be at least 10 ft. above the purifierinstalled

* Tested & Certified by TUV-SUD South Asia (P) Ltd.

Installation Procedure:

1. Screw in two 1 Ox50 self taping screws, 234 mm apart horizontally.
2. Wall-mount the purifier with the help of slot holes given on back side.
3. Fasten the SS ball valve to Y. inch port of 3-way connector.
4. Attach the threaded end of 3-way connector to raw water supply and plug off the other end or connect to a tap.
5. Now connect one end of white pipe to SS ball valve and the other end to lower elbow fitting connector labeled as WATER IN, on the bottom of purifier. Use white pipe for raw water supply.
6. Connect one end of blue pipe to upper elbow fitting connector labeled as REJECT WATER and lead the other end to drain. Use blue pipe for reject water.
7. Con nectthe purified water pipe to the water cooler.
8. Turn on the lever given on SS ball valve to initiate the water flow to purifier.
9. Allow the filters to pre-soak in thewater for 2-3 minutes.
10. Connect the power supply.
11. Installation is complete.

When the water cooler’s storage tank gets filled up completely the float in the cooler will cut off the RO purified water supply from KENT Elite+. This will further create a water pressure. In turn the high pressure sensor installed in the machine will cut off the electric supply to the machine.The purification of KENT Elite+ will automatically start again as soon as the water level drops.

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

We recommend keeping the TDS at lowest possible level but not below 50mg/l.

Starting-up the Purifier

• Switch on the power supply
• Allow water to fill to the maximum level
• Switch off the power supply
• Open the faucet and drain water to remove residual dust particles present in the pipes and tank
• Close the faucet and switch on the power supply
• Purifier is ready to use

Recommended Usage of Rejected Water

Although the rejected water has high concentration of salts, it is absolutely clean and free from impurities like chlorine, dirt, sand, etc. This rejected water usually goes down the drain but can be used for gardening purpose.The high concentration of salts and minerals accelerate the plant growth. Rejected water can also be used for cleaning utensils, mopping etc.

 

Maintenance

To ensure that the purifier operates at its BEST.a routine maintenance must be performed.Thefrequency of the maintenance will greatly depend upon the raw water quality and consumptionof purified water.

• Tank must be drained and cleaned once in every 15 days
• Replace RO membranes once in a year
• Replace U F membrane once in a year
• Replace sediment filter, activated carbon filter once in a year or earlier if they get clogged. It is recommended to change FRT along with the filters
• Replace UV Lamp once in a year

Please note that the replacement time of consumables such as filters and membranes isdependent on the quality of raw water and the quantity of water consumed.
