EUREKA FORBES DESIGNO RO+UV+MTDS Water Purifier

The DESIGNO RO+UV+MTDS Water Purifier is an advanced water purification system that uses a combination of technologies to provide you with clean, safe drinking water. The purifier comes with a long reach faucet that can be installed on any flat surface up to 1.5 inches in thickness. It also has a TDS regulator that allows you to adjust the taste of the water to your liking. The following are the prerequisites for installation and instructions on how to operate the water purifier:

PREREQUISITES FOR INSTALLATION

Preparation:
Before you install, check the following list of components to ensure that all parts are packed with your water purifier:

1. Storage Tank
2. Water Purification System
3. Faucet and Faucet Mounting Bracket
4. Installation Kit

Installation Instructions:

• Install your water purifier in a dry, ventilated place, keeping it away from direct sunlight, heating devices or areas below freezing temperature.
• Connect it only to normal tap water. Filters can get damaged if connected to hot/cold tap water. The input water pressure to your water purifier should be within the recommended range (refer variant specific technical specifications table). If the input water pressure is more than specified, installation of a PRV (Pressure Regulating Valve) is mandatory. If the input water pressure is less than specified, installation of an external booster pump is recommended.
• Make sure the purifier is installed within a distance of 1.0 m from the tap water supply. Do not install the purifier at a place where water or rain could leak into the unit (outdoors, etc.).

After this:

• Determine the location for the faucet. Check to see that drilling of the faucet hole will not damage pipes or wires running underneath the sink.
• You can also use the faucet mounting bracket to mount the faucet on the wall.
• Determine the location for the storage tank. The maximum distance from the tank to the faucet is 5 feet. This is important, because the pressure tank will dispense water at a better flow if the tube length between tank and faucet is kept short.
• Do not place the unit where it will be exposed to freezing conditions and/or direct sunlight.

Input water quality usage limitations:

1. If the input water iron content is more than that prescribed in the technical specifications, use of an iron remover** is recommended as a pre-treatment.
2. If the input water turbidity is more than that prescribed in the technical specifications or comprises colloidal particles, use of a special filter** is required as a pre-filter.
3. If the input water TDS is more than 1,000 ppm (mg/L) or input water hardness is more than 300 ppm (mg/L), use of a Membrane life enhancer** is recommended (applicable only for RO variants).
4. Do not install the water purifier if the TDS is more than that prescribed in the technical specifications.
   **Available at an extra cost.

INSTALLATION OF WATER SUPPLY CONNECTOR

Make sure that you hook up to the normal water tap. Determine the location for the installation of your water purifier. Ensure that a three-pin 230 V 50 Hz power is available nearby. Avoid locations where the system might come in contact with hot water pipes or direct sunlight.

Mounting the Water Faucet
Your water purifier unit comes complete with a long reach faucet. The product water faucet may be installed on any flat surface, max. 1.5 inches in thickness. Check the inside of the location for interference.

HOW TO OPERATE YOUR WATER PURIFIER

• a. Once the installation is completed by the authorized person from Eureka Forbes Limited, the product can be put to regular use.
• b. Ensure that an uninterrupted water and power supply to the product is available.
• c. Switch on the unit.
• d. The water purifier will start the purification process. To know the product status, monitor the indications provided on the product and refer to the LED display chart.
• e. To collect the purified water, turn the faucet lever to the open position. Whenever pure water is drawn from the unit, it will automatically start, fill the tank and cut off, thus ensuring that pure water is always available.

MTDS REGULATOR (Taste adjuster) OPERATING PROCEDURE
TDS modulator is located inside the product. As per factory setting, it comes in fully closed mode. TDS level of output water can be increased by slowly loosening the spindle of the TDS modulator (anticlockwise). Normally a slight quarter turn is enough to increase the TDS of the output water. Rotating the spindle in the clockwise direction closes the TDS modulator and reduces the level of TDS blending. Please note that the TDS blending, and its adjustment is dependent upon the level of TDS of input water and on the TDS reduction capacity of the RO membrane. TDS adjustment should be done by the authorized Eureka Forbes technician only.

THE PROCESS OF PURIFICATION (For RO+UV+MTDS Variant)

suspended particles such as dust, dirt, mud and sand from water.
