About your system

To operate the FILTERPLUS® MOBI® filtration system, there needs to be access to a water supply and Charging your Battery
mains electricity (unless using the FP-TR1200-02 model with 12V battery).

The water enters the FILTERPLUS® MOBI® filtration trolley system through the water inlet connection, and then passes through the carbon block pre- filter removing the largest particles in the water before the water enters the membrane.

The reverse osmosis (RO) membrane filters remove up to 98% of the impurities in the water, before it reaches the de-ionising (DI) resin filter where the water is polished and reaches a 000ppm result.

From the RO membrane filters, waste water is discharged through the waste water outlet. This
water is not harmful to the environment or skin, however full of impurities therefore not suitable for cleaning.

Depending on the FILTERPLUS® MOBI® filtration trolley system you have purchased, the booster pump is either powered by 230V mains electricity or the 12V battery.
