THE POWER OF AQUAGUARD® ELITE

Drinking water is essential for health. And that is precisely why it is crucial to ensure that the water you drink is healthy, not just pure or safe. Healthy water is water that has all the minerals, it naturally contains, intact in it. Minerals like Calcium, Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium, Iron, Zinc, and others are essential for healthy growth. Other water purifiers remove these nutrients while purifying water, robbing it of its various health benefits.
Only Aquaguard® with its advanced Mineral GuardTM technology retains these nutrients, delivering the healthiest water on earth.
In addition to this, its Active Copper” cartridge infuses Copper ions along with other essential minerals into the water, enhances the taste of water, and provides a perfect blend of healthy water.

INSTALLING YOUR AQUAGUARD® ELITE

Make sure that your Aquaguarcr® ELITE is installed by a trained Eureka Forbes Service Technician only.

1. Input water must be tested for Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and Total Hardness.

2. Install your Aquaguard®  ELITE in a dry, ventilated place.
   – Keep it away from direct sunlight, heating devices, or areas below freezing temperatures.
   – You can keep it on the kitchen counter or wall mount it.

3. Ensure that the input tap water temperature is in the range of 10°C-40°C.
   -Avoid connection to a hot water tap as it can damage the filters.

4. Make sure that the tap water pressure is between 0.3 and 2.0 kg/cm2. If the input water pressure is more than 2.0 kg/cm2, then installation of a PRV (Pressure Reducing Valve) is mandatory. If the input water pressure is less than 0.3 kg/cm2, then installation of a booster pump is mandatory.

5. Flush filters and membrane thoroughly and independently for 3-5 mins. to remove fine particles present in the filter. This should be done before the installation of the unit.

Input Water Quality Usage Limitations:

1. If the input water iron content is more than 0.3 mg/liter use of an iron remover** is recommended as a pre-treatment.
2. If the input water turbidity is more than 5 NTU or comprises colloidal particles, the use of a special filter** is required as a pre-filter.
3. Do not install the water purifier if the TDS is more than that prescribed in the technical specifications.

**Available at an extra cost.

suspended particles such as dust, dirt, mud, and sand from water.
2.| Chemi-block (with built-in Particle Trap Filter)| Bacteriostatic Activated Carbon Block| Reduces excess chlorine and organic impurities. Also adsorbs bad taste and odor from water.
3.| Advanced Mineral
Guard T”‘+’| Microcontroller-based Electronic Impulse Producer| Prevents the deposition of dissolved minerals like Calcium and Magnesium on the Quartz Tube, thus enhancing the availability of minerals in the water.
4.| UV e-boiling| Germicidal UV Lamp| UV disinfects the water by eliminating waterborne disease-causing bacteria, viruses, and protozoa, thereby making it safe to drink.
5.| Ultra Filter Cartridge| OF Hollow Fibre| Capillary tube type membrane- based technology that imparts crystal clear clarity to drinking water in addition to making the water safe from bacteriological contamination.
6.| Active Copper Cartridge +AA| Bacteriostatic Taste Enhancer with Active Copper Technology| Copper has anti-microbial, anti-oxidant, and anti- inflammatory properties that help to support a healthy metabolism. It also helps to provide the body with energy and is much needed for growth and development. The activated carbon removes organic components and polishes the water, giving it a sparkling look, making it pure and great to taste.
