1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations. You have acquired an excellent equip-
ment for domestic water treatment.
This equipment will help you improve the characteris-
tics of your water.
2. WHAT IS OSMOSIS?
Natural or direct osmosis is the most common in na-
ture, since semipermeable membranes are part of the
vast majority of organisms (for example plant roots, or-
gans of our own body, cell membranes, etc ...)
When two solutions of different concentration of salts
are separated by a semipermeable membrane, natura-
lly, there is a flow of water from the solution of lower
concentration to that of higher concentration. This
flow continues until the concentration on both sides of
the membrane are equalized.
When it comes to reversing this process and achieving
a flow of water of lower concentration of salts from
one of higher concentration, a sufficient pressure must
be made, of the water of greater concentration on
the membrane, to overcome the tendency and natural
flow of the system. This process is what we call rever-
se osmosis. At present, reverse osmosis is one of the
best methods to improve the characteristics of water,
through a physical system (without the use of chemi-
cals).
The water to be purified presses on the semipermea-
ble membrane, so that part of it will be able to cross
the pores of the membrane (osmotic water), while the
rest of the water (rejected or with high concentration in
salts) will be diverted to the drain (Fig. 1).

3. PRIOR WARNINGS
ATTENTION: Read carefully the warnings des-
cribed in the corresponding section of the Tech-
nical Manual.
ATTENTION: This equipment does not purify of
water. If the water to be treated is provided from
a public supply (and therefore complies with current
legislation), this equipment will substantially improve
the quality of the water.
Water treatment equipment requires regular mainte-
nance by qualified technical personnel in order to en-
sure the quality of the water produced and supplied.
3.1. USE OF THE EQUIPMENT
• When you are going to be absent for more than one
month, close the water inlet to the equipment, empty it
and disconnect it from the power supply (PUMP model).
When you return, connect the electrical power supply
of the same, open the entrance key and the tap. Let
the water out for at least 5 minutes prior to water con-
sumption.
ATTENTION: After an extended period (more than
a month) in which the equipment has not been
working or producing water, contact your distribu-
tor in order to carry out a sanitization and adequate
maintenance.
• Dispense jugs or whole bottles and avoid occasional
glass extraction to improve equipment performance.
ATTENTION: Special attention should be paid to
the cleaning and hygiene of the osmosis tap, on
a regular basis and especially at the time of periodic
maintenance and sanitation. To do this, use the saniti-
zing spray and single-use disposable kitchen paper. In
no case should a cloth be used to dry your hands or a
multipurpose cloth used for cleaning the kitchen.
· This device can be used by children from 8 years of
age and people with reduced physical, sensory or men-
tal abilities or with lack of experience and knowledge if
they have received supervision or instructions on the
use of the device safely and understand the dangers
involved. Children should not play with the device. Chil-
dren should not perform user cleaning and maintenan-
ce without supervision.
3.2. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE CORRECT USE OF
OSMOTIC WATER
• If you want to feed with osmotic water any other point
of consumption (such as a refrigerator with a cube dis-
penser, another tap, etc ...), the channeling should not
be done with a metal tube, since this would give a bad
taste to the water. Always use plastic tube.
ATTENTION: The water provided by domestic os-
mosis equipment is low mineralized. The mineral
salts the human body needs are mostly provided by
food, especially dairy products and to a lesser extent
by drinking water.
