INSTALLING YOUR AQUAGUARD® ASTOR

Make sure that your Aquaguard® Astor 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® Astor 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.
   – The purifier should be placed in an area which is free of ants, insects and other pests.

3. Ensure that the input tap water temperature is in the range of 10º-40ºC.
   – Avoid installation to a hot water tap as it can damage the filters.

4. Ensure that the input water pressure for Aquaguard® Astor RO+UV+MTDS+ ALKALINE is between 0.3 kg/cm2 – 3.0 kg/cm2.
   If the input water pressure is more than specified, installation of a PRV
   (Pressure Reducing Valve) is mandatory. If the input water pressure is less than specified, installation of a booster pump is recommended.

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

6. After installing, run the purifier for 5-10 minutes and drain this water.

Input Water Quality Usage Limitations:

1. If the input water iron content is more than 0.3 mg/litre, use of an iron remover** is recommended as a pre-treatment.

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.

MTDS REGULATOR OPERATING PROCEDURE: (Only Applicable for RO+UV+MTDS+ALKALINE Models)

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 (anti-clockwise). 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.
