Electrical Power Supply
Before connecting the Pressure boosting unit to the power supply, check that the power supply voltage corresponds to the parameters specified in the Pressure boosting unit Manual. Use only a power supply with the output characteristics specified in this manual (24 V ± 5%, at least 1.5 A DC). Before installing the Pressure boosting unit, make sure that it will be protected from freezing, water ingress, direct sunlight, and contact with hot objects, including hot water pipes, radiators, and heating devices. Protect from shocks and fallings. The cord of the power supply connected to the Pressure boosting unit must not be stretched. Make sure that the power cord does not touch surfaces that can damage it. Do not immerse the Pressure boosting unit, its power supply, the power cord and the plug in water or other liquid. Do not wash them under running water or in the dishwasher. To avoid electric shock, do not touch the Pressure boosting unit connected to the power supply, the power supply unit, its power cord, and plug with wet hands. Do not allow contamination of the Pressure boosting unit housing. If necessary, wipe it with a dry cloth, after disconnecting the Pressure boosting unit from the power supply.
Do not disassemble the Pressure boosting unit or open its housing!
Do not use the Pressure boosting unit and the power supply if problems or
damage to the wire are detected. Do not attempt to repair the device yourself.
If any malfunction is detected, first disconnect the power supply from the
mains, then disconnect it from the Pressure boosting unit. Contact customer
service.
INSTALLATION
Attention! It is not recommended to connect the Pressure boosting unit to
the water purifier yourself. To connect the Pressure boosting unit, it is
recommended to contact Aquaphor customer service or Aqua-phor regional
dealers.
The manufacturer is not responsible for the improper quality of the work on
connecting the Pressure boosting unit to the water filter, as well as for the
result of this work. Responsibility for the shortcomings of this work, as well
as for causing harm to the health or property of the customer or other people
as a result of these shortcomings, is borne by the party performing the
installation. Select the appropriate location for the Pressure boosting unit.
Note that the connecting tubes should be loose and not bent. The free sections
of the tubes should be fixed so that they cannot be damaged by other objects.
The water filter must be placed at a distance or isolated from any heat
sources (kitchen ovens, boilers, hot water supply pipes, dishwashers or
washing machines, etc.) and placed in a place that prevents water from
entering the housing of the Pressure boosting unit and the power supply unit.
How to connect the tubes
Remove the stopping clip from under the plastic sleeve, insert the pre-wetted
end of the tube into the sleeve of the fitting until it stops at a depth of
about 15 mm and insert the clip. Check the strength of the fastening of the
tube: at a force of 8-10 kgf, the tube should not be pulled out.
How to disconnect the tubes
To disconnect the tube, pull out the stopping clip from under the plastic
sleeve and, pressing the end of the plastic sleeve, pull out the tube.

COMMISSIONING
- Connect the power supply to the Pressure-boosting unit
- Plug the power supply into an outlet
- Turn on the water supply to the water purifier (open the tap of the connection node). After passing the Pressure boosting unit and water purifying system, water will begin to flow into the storage tank (or jug). The Pressure boosting unit will switch off when the storage tank (or jug) is full.
OPERATION
The Pressure boosting unit is fully assembled, tested, and ready for
operation.
ATTENTION! The Pressure boosting unit is adjusted and does not require
further adjustments. The manufacturer is not responsible for changing the
Pressure-boosting unit settings.
ATTENTION! The service life of the Pressure boosting unit directly
depends on the operability of the water purifier cartridges, it is very
important to replace the filtering cartridges in time.
ATTENTION! To increase the service life of the Pressure boosting unit in
Aquaphor Morion RO-101, RO-70 uses pre-treatment systems (purchased
separately) to reduce the risk of mechanical debris from the main water
supply. During the first week of operation, check the Pressure boosting unit
daily for leaks. Do not allow the Pressure boosting unit to work at a pressure
in the water supply greater than 0.63 MPa (6.5 at).
The operating temperature is from +5 to +38 °C. If the characteristics of the source water significantly exceed the requirements of national standards for drinking water, we recommend that you install additional water treatment systems (mechanical cleaning systems, etc.). Use a water purifier with the Pressure boosting unit only for cleaning water from the cold water supply system. Disposal in accordance with environmental, sanitary, and other requirements established by national standards in the field of environmental protection and ensuring the sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population.
