Symptoms	Probable Cause	Solution
NO WATER	1. Water supply turned off 2. Low water pressure (40 psi min) 3. Pre-filter clogged 4. RO membrane damaged or clogged 5. Product line crimped 6. Post-filter clogged 7. Ball valve on RO tank closed 10. Check valve/restrictor valve clogged	require pressure pump Turn water supply on Replace pre-filter Replace membrane Remove crimp in line Remove post-filter Open RO tank ball valve Replace check valve/restrictor
SLOW FLOW THROUGH FAUCET	1. Pre-filter clogged 2. Post-filter clogged 3. Low air pressure in RO tank 4. Low incoming water pressure (min 40 psi) 5. Fouled RO membrane 6. System, filters, membrane new	Replace pre-filter Replace post-filter Raise pressure in RO storage tank to 5-7 psi Replace RO membrane Allow 4-6 hours for system to fill visit www.aquaultra.in
LEAKING MEMBRANE HOUSING	1. Threaded end cap leaking 2. Cap or body of housing leaks	Lubricate o-ring with Dow 111 silicone sealant and retighten if leak continues replace with new lubricated o-ring. Check for any cracks in membrane housing and/or housing cap – if cracked or damaged replace both cap and housing
LEAKING PRE or POST FILTER HOUSING	1. O-ring not seated properly or filter housing cap not screwed on tightly 2. Housing damaged	Is o-ring in groove. Check for damaged if found replace o-ring. If dirty clean, lubricate Dow 111 silicone sealant - retighten lid. Hand tighten only If any detectable damage or cracks replace housing and lid
LEAKING FAUCET	1. Fitting Leaks 2. Leak at base of brass stem 3. Spigot drips	Tighten fitting – make sure tubing is pushed into fitting /base of faucet stem Replace faucet May require installation of faucet repair kit
BAD TASTE or ODOR	1. Defective unit 2. Bad membrane 3. Exhausted filter (s) 4. Not enough water used 5. System needs sanitizing	Replace Replace – If TDS rejection is below 80% Replace Drain system – do not allow water to remain unused more than 5 days Sanitize system
CLOUDY ICE CUBES OR MILKY COLORED WATER	1. Bad Membrane 2. Water supply 3. System or filters are new	for information on TDS testing High oxygen content –Tiny bubbles – will go away with use Air in lines – will go away with use
NOISEY DRAIN OR FAUCET	1. Air gap faucet 2. Drain tube	A little noise is common with air gap faucets. Check your owners manual to be sure air gap is installed in proper location Air in systems may take up to two weeks to purge air from system under normal use. Check drain line from faucet runs down hill to drain saddle clamp. Loops, bends, dips or kinks can cause noise.
LEAKING FITTING	1. Fitting damaged or cracked 2. Tubing not pushed securely into fitting or threads not properly installed	Replace fitting Check tubing installation & thread installation.
SYSTEM IS CONTINUALLY RUNNING	1. Automatic shut off valve not working 2. Low incoming water pressure 3. Low RO storage tank air pressure 4. Damaged or ruptured RO storage tank bladder. 5. Flow restrictor in drain line worn out. 6. Membrane incorrectly installed	Replace automatic shut off valve – be mindful of where the four lines are removed and reinstalled. Increase water pressure – minimum required 40 psi – Check air pressure in RO Storage tank – optimum 5-7 psi when empty Replace RO storage tank Replace the flow restrictor that matches membrane capacity Check membrane installation instructions

What is Alkaline technology?

AK2017-07-02T13:45:34+05:30Ultra Smart Alkaline technology  Aqua Ultra antioxidant Alkaline RO filter, it purifies water from the toughest of impurities and maintains TDS without mixing pure and impure water. Instead, it persistently maintains natural minerals essential for human body. The purifier is automated to such levels that it has auto on and off system for filling water. Ergonomically designed, every detail carefully considered to enhance your experience. It supports purification of water of any kind and from most sources. Eliminates suspended impurities and dissolved impurities and also turns hard water of up to TDS 2000 ppm into soft and sweet water, maintaining essential mineral.

What is Reverse Osmosis Technology?

Aqua Ultra2016-08-06T12:16:12+05:30Reverse Osmosis is a separation process, which involves the passage of liquid from the lower concentration of dissolved substances to that of a higher concentration, when the two are separated by a semi permeable membrane. Thus, pure water is produced by screening out dissolved salts and other contaminants. Reverse Osmosis Membrane is made of Semi permeable membranes, made of cellulose acetate or aromatic poly amide, having pore size of 0.0001 microns in diameter. These can filter out most of the inorganic contaminants, microscopic parasites including viruses, which may cause serious health hazards.

What is the electrical consumption of Aqua Ultra purifier?

Aqua Ultra2016-08-06T11:58:49+05:30The consumption of electricity in water purifier is negligible as compared to any other electric equipment in your house. Aqua Ultra  RO Water purifier system has a power consumption of 25 watts. It consumes 1 unit current only in 40 hours, in which time it can purify 4800 liters of drinking water. On an average, we use 20 liters of purified water per day in our house. According to this calculation, a household normally require 7300 liters of water per year. So the electric consumption will be approximately 1.52 units per year (Power consumption may vary slightly for different models).

What is the function of different types of filter cartridges in Aqua Ultra Water purifiers?

Aqua Ultra2016-08-06T12:06:46+05:30Different types of filter cartridges are present in Aqua Ultra Water purifiers. These help in prolonging the life of membrane and to improve water quality in terms of taste and mineral content. External Sediment Filter consists of spun PP and filters dirt, dust or other large sized suspended particles. Antiscalant balls. These are poly phosphate balls, which help to remove scaling and inorganic fouling. These reduce membrane cleaning requirements, thus enhancing domestic RO system performance. In addition to inhibiting carbonate and phosphate scale, antiscalants inhibit sulfate and fluoride scales, disperse colloids and metal oxides. Magnetic Softener utilizes strong magnetic fields that cause an electron excitation to occur in water. As water flows past these magnets, the molecules are aligned into a uniformed directional field. Water regains its solvency and will not allow minerals to form hard crystals of scale. In- line Sediment filter, which is made of spun PP of smaller pore size and filters smaller suspended particles. Pre-carbon filter, which consists of Granular or Block Activated Carbon. These have very high surface area and remove contaminants through adsorption, a process in which dissolved contaminants adhere to the surface of the carbon particles. Activated carbon filter can remove organic impurities and chlorine. They are very effective in removing tastes and odors. Post carbon filter comprising of Nano silver impregnated activated carbon block. Silver is a bacteriostatic agent, which inhibits growth of bacteria in the carbon media. The post carbon filter is also known as polisher and enhances taste of water. Mineral cartridge, which consist of mineral balls to replenish the essential minerals in water and antibacterial balls which inhibit the bacterial growth.

What is the storage capacity of Aqua Ultra Water Purifiers?

Aqua Ultra2016-08-06T12:00:44+05:30The storage capacity of Aqua Ultra  RO Water Purifiers varies from model to model. It ranges from 12 liters to 18 liters.

What is Ultra filration?

Aqua Ultra2016-08-06T12:10:32+05:30Ultra filtration is done by using Hollow fibre membranes having pore size 0.01 to 0.1μ. It is effective in the removal of colloids, proteins, bacteria, pyrogens (e.g. gram-negative bacterial endotoxins), and other organic molecules larger than 0.01µ.
