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 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.

UV Fail Alarm*
KENT Super Star Mineral ROT”‘ 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: One short beep 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.
Filter Change Alarm*
KENT Super Star Mineral ROT” Water Purifier has an in-built feature that sounds an audible alarm to indicate replacement time for filters. This alarm will be audible after 700 hrs of use since the last filter change (or since the time of installation). The Filter Change Alarm will sound as following: 4 short beeps after every two seconds for 30 seconds.The alarm will repeat after every 2 hours of use.
In case such an alarm is audible, please call the service technician and request him to change the filters of the purifier. However, if the filters are not changed within the next 60 hours of operation, the purifier will stop functioning to ensure purity and hygiene.The following alarm will be audible after 60 Hrs. A continuous beep for an infinite time.
In case, such an alarm is audible, kindly switch off the purifier and call the service technician to replace the filters. In such a circumstance, the purifier will not function unless the filters are changed.
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 Stabilisation 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 seconds delay to 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 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 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.Audible Alarm: The controller also controls the timing of UV Fail Alarm and the Filter Change Alarm.
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

TDS Adjustment*
A unique feature in KENT Super Star Mineral ROT” Water Purifier is the TDS control valve, which is not available in any other domestic water purifier till date. This feature allows the user to control the content of natural minerals (TDS) in purified water. To increase theTDS level, the user can turn the screw of the valve anticlockwise; it will result in more mineral content in treated water.To reduce the TDS level, user can turn the screw valve clockwise, it will result in less mineral content in treated water. We recommend the TDS of the purifier to be kept at lowest but not below 50 mg/I.
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.
