Reverse osmosis uses a special kind of semi-permeable membrane designed to function
similarly to living cell’s membrane. The membrane can be conceived of as having tiny pores,
200 times ner than virus particle and 4000 times ner than most bacteria. The principle
of reverse osmotic water purication is modelled after living cell’s natural water cycle. It
allows to remove all noxious impurities from water including nitrate, microorganisms, and
anthropogenic pollutants. Only certain types of molecules pass through the membrane
lter.
Standard model MO 5-50 ltration system operates the following way.
Filter rack 1 is connected to cold water line by installing feed adapter 4 and feed water
valve 5 (see Figure 3.1). Red tube connects feed water valve with pre-lter 10.1 in the lter
rack 1 so that feed water rst undergoes the three stages of pre-treatment in pre-lters
10.1, 10.2, 10.3. Inside the pre-lters, water is stripped of suspended solids, chlorine and
organochlorines, rust, and other impurities that can foul or damage the RO membrane.
Outlet of pre-lter 10.3 is connected to feed inlet of the automatic shuto valve 12, which
is a four-way valve fastened to the frame of lter rack. Automatic shuto valve controls
switches the whole RO system on and o by opening feed when there is not enough water
in the pressure tank 2 (e.g. when some water is taken from the faucet) and closing feed when
pressure tank is full.
Feed outlet of the automatic shuto valve is connected to the inlet in membrane housing
on top of the lter rack, which contains the RO membrane 10.5. Membrane housing has
two outlets — one for puried water (permeate), and the other for water containing the
retained impurities (concentrate). Water owing into the RO membrane undergoes reverse
osmosis and separates into the two streams. Concentrate is discharged into drain pipe, and
permeate is accumulated in the pressure tank 2 and dispensed from the faucet on demand.
Permeate outlet of the membrane housing is tted with a check valve to prevent backow
and wasting puried water. It is connected with permeate inlet in the automatic shuto
valve 12, and permeate outlet of the shuto valve is connected with union tee 11. Another

outlet of the union tee is connected to the pressure tank (by means of yellow tube running
to the tank valve 6), and the third outlet of the tee is connected to carbon post-lter 10.4. All
described components are connected to one another with exible tubes.
The purpose of the pressure tank 2 is accumulating and storing puried water, the need
for which arises due to slow nature of reverse osmotic purication of water. For instance, if
the system is tted with a 50 gpd membrane, 200 ml cup will take over 1,5 minutes to ll if
the membrane was directly connected to faucet without a tank. In order to compensate for
the small production rate, drinking water is puried in advance and stored in the tank, which
is pressurized so the water will run at an ample rate. When completely drained, the pressure
tank takes about 1,5 hours to ll.
Concentrate with the retained impurities is discarded from the second outlet in membrane
housing, connected with the drain saddle 8 with the black tube. In order to operate properly,
the system requires a backpressure on concentrate line, which is created by ow restrictor
14 — a plastic insert with calibrated throttle orice. Flow restrictor is inserted in the black
tube and must face the membrane housing when the tube is connected.
When faucet is opened, puried water is drawn from the pressure tank through the postlter 10.4. Рost-lter is a coconut shell activated carbon lter. Its purpose is to remove any
taste and odor imparted to puried water while in the tank, especially if stored for longer
periods of time and/or at warmer temperatures. Carbon taste and odor lter outlet is
connected to the faucet 3 by means of blue tube.
Additional equipment
Booster pump 16 for reverse osmosis system is an option. It is purposed to increase feed
water pressure in the system in case supply pressure is not sucient to operate the system
with the specied rate of drinking water production. We recommend that you t your system
with a booster pump or purchase an RO system with a booster pump if the pressure in your
water supply line is less than 3 bar.
UV disinfection unit 17 is an option. The unit is necessary when protection against
emergence of downstream microbial contamination is essential.
Re-mineralizing lter 15 is an option and is included in models that produce mineralenriched water alongside regular reverse osmotic water.Mineral composition of water
(approximate) after re mineralizing is specied on product label.
