By applying a certain pressure (from the water mains), water is forced through the membrane, so that the pure water (permeate) is separated from the water containing salts (concentrate).\n\nThe membranes have been tested at 25°C, 4.8 bar, and 2000 ppm TDS. Due to operating conditions differing from the ideal ones in which they were tested, actual production is about half of the theoretical yield.\n\nThe Aquili \u003cstrong\u003eRO Basic\u003c\/strong\u003e Reverse Osmosis 190L\/day 1-filter system consists of:\n- In-line Activated Carbon 2” filter treated with specific acids for water purification;\n- Osmotic membrane with a flow rate of 50 gallons per day (1 gallon = 3.785 liters).\n\u003ch3\u003eAssembly and use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 20.16px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-21873 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.professionalgrowing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/RO-BASIC.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"155\" height=\"287\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"imCell_4\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv id=\"imTextObject_138_04\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv id=\"imTextObject_138_04_tab0\" class=\"text-tab-content grid-prop current-tab \" data-index=\"0\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-inner\"\u003e\n\n\u003col\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eWater inlet from the mains (red cap)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eSediment pre-filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eActivated Carbon filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eMembrane flushing valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eOsmotic membrane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003ePermeate – Osmotic water (blue cap)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eConcentrate – Waste water with Flow Restrictor (black cap)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eAnti NO\u003csub\u003e3\u003c\/sub\u003e-PO\u003csub\u003e4\u003c\/sub\u003e-SiO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e filter\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eRemove the colored caps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eIn the system, water enters from the mains tap via the connection (fitting found inside the bag), reaches a universal fitting (1), and passes through a sediment pre-filter (2) that retains particles larger than 0.005 mm (5 microns). (The RO Basic model does not have a sediment filter; in this case, the carbon filter also acts as a 5-micron mechanical filter). After this first purification, the water is passed through an activated carbon cartridge (3) which removes chlorine and also eliminates traces of pesticides, herbicides, metals, and any unpleasant taste and\/or odor that the water may release.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eAfter passing through the carbon filter, the water is sent, under pressure, to a special membrane (5) that allows only pure water to pass through. Substances that harden the water and harmful ones such as salts, carbonates, sulfates, heavy metals, pesticides, and even bacteria and viruses are retained and rinsed away with the residual water. For assembly, the membrane must be inserted into its housing, ensuring that the thicker O-ring remains towards the cap, while the two small O-rings remain at the bottom. The quality of the osmotic membrane is decisive for achieving the desired effect; the membranes used in Aquili appliances (polyamide\/polysulfone) are extremely resistant to bacterial attack, have a long service life, are easy to store, and remain unaltered for years. Once treated, the water is pre-channeled into the central tube of the membrane and exits, extremely pure, through the central conduit (6).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eFor the first start-up of the system, turn on the water tap and rinse the appliance for at least two hours to completely eliminate the membrane's dry preservative; during this period, check that at least four times as much concentrate flows through the canalization (7) compared to the osmotic water produced.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eIt is recommended to use the system for half an hour at least once a week; if the system remains unused for more than 14 days, drain the osmotic water for at least 5 minutes before the next use. If the system is not used for long periods, prevent the membrane from drying out by replacing the 3 colored caps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWarnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eConnect the system always and only to a cold water pipe (maximum 30°C), otherwise the retention rate will deteriorate and the membrane may be damaged prematurely.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eCheck that the membrane is pushed all the way to the bottom before screwing on the container lid (4). (The central tube of the membrane must be aligned with the edge of the container without the lid).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eDo not force the fittings (especially the elbow fitting – Flow Restrictor), but if the system shows leaks once started, use Teflon tape.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eRun water through the carbon filter before connecting it to the membrane so that any impurities present can be purged.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eOsmotic water and residual water must always be able to flow out freely; never close them with taps or similar devices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eProtect the membrane from frost and drying out.

The function of the activated carbon is to retain chlorine which, if passed through, irreparably damages the membrane by tearing its microstructure.
