Important Instruction

Reverse Osmosis Process

The Reverse Osmosis process, also known as hyper filtration, is the finest filtration process known till date. The process ensures reduction in 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,the water pressure applied to the concentrated side forces the process of osmosis into reverse. Under enough pressure, purer 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 does not get accumulated as in a traditional filter.

UV Process

The UV light has 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 of 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.

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 which washes away impurities from the membrane’s surface and keeps the membrane clean. It offers the following benefits.

• Lowers rejected water outflow
• Improves “TDS” rejection rate i.e increases the RO membrane’s efficiency
• Extends the life of the RO membrane

Computer Controlled Operation

To ensure delivery of purer and healthier water, a micro-processor 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 normal purification process.

Alarm: To ensure delivery of purer water, KENT Pearl Star Mineral RO TM Water Purifier in-built micro controller controls and senses various vital components and displays their status on the Display

Automatic Operation

• The purifier automatically shuts off when the storage tank is full
• The purifier automatically flushes & cleans the RO membrane on periodic intervals
• The purifier does not start when inlet water supply pressure falls below 0.3 kg/cm’
• 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 Instructions

KENT Pearl Star Mineral ROT” Water Purifier is designed to facilitate both wall mounting as well as the counter-top usage. The purifier is easy and convenient to install.

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 waterinto 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 Control System enables customers to retain the contents of natural minerals (TDS) 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 but not below 50mg/I

Starting up the purifier

• Switch on the power supply
• Allow the storage tank to fill to the maximum level”
• Switch off the power supply
• Open the upper cover. Lift and drain the storage tank so as to remove residual dust particles present in the pipes and storage tank.
• Place back the storage tank and close the upper cover
• Switch on the power supply
• Purifier is ready to use

The glowing Red LED indication power is on. The glowing Green LED indicates the purification is on.

Maintenance

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

• Storage tank must be cleaned once in 2 weeks.
• Replace the sediment filter, activated carbon filter & post carbon filter once in 12 months or whenever the filter change alarm activates. It is recommended to change FRT along with the filters.
• Replace the RO membrane once in a year I Replace the UV Lamp once in a year
• In the event of not using purifier for a long time (while going for a holiday, tour etc.), make sure that you disconnect the power supply, turn off the raw water supply and drain the storage tank

The replacement time of consumables such as filters and membrane is dependent on the quality of raw water and water consumed.

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.
