TATA VIiva Silver UV-UF Water Purifier User Manual

TATA VIiva Silver UV-UF Water Purifier

PRODUCT INFORMATION

Specifications:

• Technology: UV+ UF
• Capacity: N/A
• Purification Stages: 3
• Replacement Cycle: Sediment Filter Cartridge – 1 year, GAC Cartridge – 1 year/500 Liters, UV Module – 7000 hrs

Product Usage Instructions

• Stage 1: Sediment Filter Cartridge (Coarse)
  This is the first filtration process which reduces/removes impurities from the inlet water. These impurities may be particles such as dust and sediments which are above 1 Omicron in size. The life of the first sediment filter depends upon the inlet water quality.
  Recommended replacement cycle: 1 year*

• Stage 2: Bacteriostatic Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) with Silver impregnation technology
  This GAC Cartridge reduces chlorine, bad taste, and odor from the inlet water. It also reduces volatile organic compounds and pesticides from water. The silver impregnation technology used in this cartridge ensures improved bacteriostatic performance for the entire life of the carbon capacity. This Silver Action Inside of the bacteriostatic GAC greatly reduces the chance of bio-fouling and hence increases the life of the carbon cartridge.
  Recommended replacement cycle: 1 year/500 Liters +

• Stage 3: Ultra Violet Purification
  The UV module safeguards against the microbiological impurities that can be present in the water. Ultraviolet purification deactivates the protozoa, bacteria, and viruses by damaging the genetic code which renders them harmless as they cannot reproduce themselves.
  Recommended replacement: 7000 hrs

FAQ

• How often should I replace the sediment filter cartridge?
  The recommended replacement cycle for the sediment filter cartridge is 1 year, but it may vary depending on the inlet water quality.

• How often should I replace the GAC cartridge?
  The recommended replacement cycle for the GAC cartridge is 1 year or every 500 Liters, whichever comes first.

• How often should I replace the UV module?
  The UV module should be replaced after approximately 7000 hours of usage.

THE TECHNOLOGY IN YOUR PURIFIER: UV+ UF

• The Ultra Voilet (UV) module safeguards against the microbiological impurities that can be present in the water. Ultraviolet purification deactivates the protozoa, bacteria and viruses by damaging the genetic code which renders them harmless as they cannot reproduce themselves.
• The Ultra Filtration Membrane (UF) technology uses a semi-permeable membrane for purification. The Semi-permeable membrane in your purifier works on very simple principle – only water molecules, dissolved minerals and salts can pass through the membrane.
• Ultra Filtration is a separation process that uses membranes with pore size of 0.01 micron. The UF membrane has the capacity to remove colloidal materials including bacteria and cysts from drinking water. Low applied pressure is therefore sufficient to achieve high flux rates from an Ultra Filtration membrane.

• Stage 4: Ultra Filtration Membrane
  The UF Membrane protects against bacteria, viruses, pyrogens & collodial matter. The membrane passes only dissolved minerals & salts along with the water molecules passing through.
  Recommended Replacement: 24 months++

  • If this cartridge chokes sooner than the recommended replacement cycle, it is advisable to install a pre-filter (available separately at a cost). Replacement period is as per internal test calculations.

  • The life of GAC cartridge depends upon the organics, chlorine, etc present in the input water supply. Under standard
    test conditions the life is measured as 5500 Liters with 2 ppm chlorine water passing through the cartridge.
    AAs per test carried out by manufacturer
