14. E Osmosis WokrkS The Vitapur Reverse Osmosis System uses a semi permeable membrane to reduce dissolved salts and minerals improving the taste and colour of your water The RO membrane is made of layers of micron thin film wound around a hollow center core Water molecules are able to pass through the membrane but dissolved salts and minerals are rejected The Vitapur Reverse Osmosis system features 3 4 and 5 stage filter action Your water supply is pre filtered to reduce dirt and chlorine that may foul the membrane The RO membrane separates the pre filtered water in Product Water and Reject Water Incoming water pressure forces the product water through the membrane and into the storage tank Dissolved solids and other contaminants cannot pass through the membrane and are sent to the drain as reject water When you open the drinking water faucet product water is drawn from the storage tank through an activated carbon post filter providing you with pure great tasting water Qe N PION Si AO This Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water system has been designed for quick and simple installation and maintenance By carefully reading this instruction manual and following the operational guidelines you will insure a successful installation and reliable operation Routine maintenance is essential to the longevity and performance of the system Carbon and Sediment Filters should be changed every six months to twelve depending on the quality of the feed
