Reverse osmosis unit

🌐 🇫🇷 FR · 🇬🇧 EN · 🇩🇪 DE

Using a reverse osmosis unit helps reduce water hardness and therefore makes pH easier to manage afterwards.

It is recommended if no rainwater is available or when the mains water is very hard.

General operation of the reverse osmosis unit used since April 2023

1. Water inlet
2. Purified water outlet
3. Wastewater outlet

8. This part is not needed
9. This part is not needed

Installation

1. Push the narrower part of the garden hose adapter onto the white water inlet hose.

2. Insert the white water inlet hose into the white fitting located on the right side of the system.

3. Fit the shut-off valve onto the blue purified water hose. Make sure to place the “in” side on the hose side.

4. At the back of the main unit, connect the blue purified water hose to the automatic shut-off valve. It must be aligned with the blue hose already in place.

Reverse osmosis unit composition

To maintain good filtration capacity, the components of the reverse osmosis unit must be replaced regularly.
1 - Particle filter to be replaced every 3 to 6 months
2 - RO membrane to be replaced every 2 years
3 - Activated carbon filter to be replaced every 9 months
