KENT TECHNOLOGY – A Breakthrough in Water Purification*

KENT proudly presents KENT ELEGANT LITE MINERAL RO™ – it’s new and advanced domestic water purifier which provides purer & healthier drinking water.
The futuristic KENT ELEGANT LITE, developed at KENT laboratory, broadly comprises a state-of-the-art RO+UF+TDS Control System. The initial purification by RO membrane with porosity as fine as 0.0001 microns reduces even dissolved impurities (hard salts, heavy metals, etc.). Double purification by UF membrane gives additional protection from deadly harmful micro-organisms. Moreover, the patented TDS Control System intelligently retains essential natural minerals in the purified water, thus, taking total care of your health and wellbeing.

Important Instructions *

Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and installation in damp areas.| Make sure that the temperature of the water entering the purifier is within 10°C – 40°C.
---|---
Make sure that the reject water pipe is not placed at a level higher than the system, otherwise, the rejected water may flow backward into the purifier.| The maximum distance between the water source and the purifier should not be more than 3 meters.
Avoid sharp bends in the pipe fittings. Do not bend or block
the rejected water pipe.| Do not confine the purifier in a cabinet.
In case of not using the purifier for more than two days, kindly switch off the power supply and drain the storage tank.| To keep the storage tank clean, it should be drained once in 15 days.
Use Genuine KENTSpares for optimum performance.| Do not try to service the purifier on your own. Instead, call a technician for help.

Reverse Osmosis Process

The Reverse Osmosis process, also known as hyperfiltration, is the finest filtration process known to date. The process ensures the reduction of particles as small as ions from a solution. The Reverse Osmosis process uses a semi-permeable membrane to reduce salts from potable/brackish water. In Reverse Osmosis, water pressure is applied to the impure water inlet resulting in the squeezing of purer water from the concentrated end of the membrane towards the diluted end. Dissolved salts present in the water in the form of charged ions get repelled by the RO membrane and are not allowed to pass through. Similarly, bacteria and germs are also blocked by the ultra-fine pores of the RO membrane. These rejected impurities, suspended on the concentrated end of the membrane, are then washed away as a stream of wastewater, thus preventing the membrane from clogging.

UF Process

Ultra Filtration is a separation process that uses membranes with pore size in the range of 0.1 to 0.01 micron. UF membrane removes high molecular-weight substances, colloidal materials, and organic/inorganic polymeric molecules including bacteria and viruses. Low applied pressure is therefore sufficient to achieve high flux rates from an Ultra Filtration membrane.

Automatic Operation

• The purifier automatically shuts off when the storage tank is full
• The purifier does not start if the inlet water supply pressure falls below 0.3 kg/cm²
• The purifier automatically restarts when the water level drops below the maximum
•  The purifier does not allow any water rejection in absence of electricity/when the tank is full

Installation Instructions

KENT ELEGANT LITE Mineral RO™ is a convenient and easy-to-install wall mounting model.
Recommended Site Preparations:

• Single Phase 100 – 250 V AC, 50-60 Hz not more than 3m away from the point of installation.
• Raw water supply with ½ inch nipple not more than 3m away.
• Drain for the reject water not more than 3m away.
• Installation space as per the dimensions of the purifier.
• Wall/plane surface for mounting screws and holding the machine. Avoid installation on wooden and metallic stands.
• For optimum inlet pressure, the source water tank should be at least 10 ft. above the purifier installed.
• Install the purifier near a sink for easy availability of the inlet and reject water lines.
• The system and installation must comply with state and local laws and regulations.

Installation Procedure :

1. Paste the central drill sticker on the wall at (3.6 feet to 4.0 feet from the ground) as per your convenience.
2. Ensure that sticker is pasted straight on the wall, then drill holes as per the space provided on the sticker.
3. Now, insert the puff up with the help of a hammer.
4. Screw-in two 10X50 self-tapping screws, 5.6 inches (142 mm) apart horizontally.
5. Carefully hang the purifier on the wall with the help of the wall-mounting slot holes provided on the back of the purifier.

Note: If the wall is not straight or the screws are not properly drilled in an even position, it will damage your purifier.
Note: Keep the device away from heat or direct sunlight.

1. First fix the SS ball valve (marked as no. 4) to the 1/4 inch port of the 3-way connecter (marked as no. 2) as shown in figure 2.
2. Connect the 3-way connector to the raw water supply (marked as no. 1) as shown in figure 3. The 3-way connector is fit in line with the raw water supply.
3. The other end of the 3-way connector can be connected to a tap (marked as no.3) as shown in the figure or can be plugged off if not required.

Step-3

1. Now connect one end of the white pipe to the SS ball valve and another end to the upper push-fit elbow fitting to the left-hand side of the purifier labeled as WATER IN, as shown in fig 1.
2. Similarly, connect one end of the white pipe to the lower elbow fitting connector in-tank labeled as REJECT WATER and leave the other end in the drain, as shown in fig 2.

Step-4
Before connecting the power supply, it is important that you perform the following functions:

1. Open the SS ball valve (Handle parallel to the ball valve) to start the flow of water into the purifier, as shown in the figure.
2. Wait for 2-3 minutes to ensure that the filters are soaked in water.

Step-5

1. Connect the power supply.
2. Installation is complete.

TDS Adjustment*

The unique TDS Control System enables customers to retain the contents of natural minerals (TDS) in the purified water, as per their requirements.

• Turning the screw of the valve anti-clockwise results in increased mineral content.
• Turning the screw of the valve clockwise results in decreased mineral content.

Starting Up the Purifier

• Switch on the power supply .
• Allow the storage tank to fill to its maximum capacity.**
• Switch off the power supply.
• Open the drain plug present at the bottom of the storage tank and drain the tank completely. This would remove the residual dust particles present in different pipes and storage tanks.
• Plug back the drain plug.
• Switch on the power supply.
• The purifier is now ready to use.

Recommended Usage of Rejected Water

Although the rejected water has a high concentration of salts, it is absolutely clean and free from impurities such as chlorine, dirt, sand, etc. This rejected water usually goes down the drain but can be used for gardening purposes. The high concentration of salts and minerals accelerates plant growth. Rejected water can also be used for cleaning utensils, mopping, etc.

Maintenance

To ensure that the purifier operates at its BEST, routine maintenance must be performed.
The frequency of the maintenance will greatly depend upon the raw water quality and consumption of purified water.

• The storage tank must be drained once in 2 weeks. Open the drain plug present at the bottom of the storage tank and drain the tank completely. Plug back the drain plug and switch on the power supply.
• Replace the sediment filter & activated the carbon filter once in 12 months. It is recommended to change the FRT along with the filters.
• Replace the RO membrane once a year.
• Replace the UF membrane once a year.
• In the event of not using the purifier for a long time (while going for a holiday, tour, etc.), make sure that you disconnect the power supply, turn off the raw water supply, and drain the storage tank.

The replacement time of consumables such as filters and membrane is dependent on the quality of raw water and the quantity of purified water consumed.
Use genuine Kent spares for optimum performance.

Note: The reverse osmosis system contains a replaceable treatment component critical for the effective reduction of total dissolved solids and that product water shall be tested periodically to verify that the system is performing properly.

• Tested & certified by TUV-SUD South Asia (P) Ltd.
  **Tested or certified flushing time – 24hrs.

Replacement of spare parts are as under:

“This reverse osmosis system contains a replaceable component critical to the efficiency of the system. Replacement of the reverse osmosis component should be with one of the identical specifications as defined by the manufacturer, to ensure the same efficiency and contaminant reduction performance.”
