Installation and replacement of reverse osmosis atoll water filters. Installation of filters for drinking water purification Procedure for installing filters for water purification atoll

BRIEF REFERENCE

CLEAN WATER is water with a pleasant taste that does not contain organic or inorganic substances in concentrations that are hazardous to health or undesirable, and complies with established sanitary standards and rules.

REVERSE OSMOSIS - water purification by passing it with pressure through a semi-permeable membrane. This principle is the basis of atoll RO filters and does not involve the use of chemicals.

MEMBRANE is a semi-permeable material through which only water and oxygen molecules can pass.

PREFILTERS - are used to purify water from insoluble particles, chlorine, organic substances before the water reaches the membrane, and help to increase the life of the membrane.

CONTENTS OF DELIVERY

Your new atoll RO filter has been thoroughly tested at the factory for leaks, the quality of the treated water and the functioning of all components.

When developing the filter, it was assumed that it should be placed under the kitchen sink. This is its recommended installation location.

Before you start installing the filter, please read the entire Manual carefully.

The filter delivery set includes:

filtration unit (1);
storage tank for storing purified water (2);
accessories: clean water tap (3), combined water supply unit (or water supply tap (4) and tee (5)), tank ball valve (6), drain clamp (7);

User's manual.

SAFETY INFORMATION

The atoll reverse osmosis filter fully meets all safety requirements, which is confirmed by the Russian certificate of conformity. However, everyone who uses it should know the principle of operation and the features of its safe operation. To avoid problems and errors, carefully read this section and strictly follow the instructions for installing and maintaining the filter.

Important! The pressure at the inlet to the filter should not exceed 6 atm. If there is a possibility of increasing the pressure in the inlet pipeline above 6 atm, to prevent leaks, it is recommended to install a Honeywell D04 or D06 pressure reducing valve in the system before the first prefilter.

The filter is designed to purify water in the amount necessary for cooking, drinking and other household needs.
Check the water to be treated for compliance with the points “Requirements for the water supplied to the filter”.
If the filter is brand new, do not use purified water for drinking until the end of the adjustment and flushing procedures.
Adjustment and flushing of the filter is performed in the following cases:

at the first connection;
when replacing the filter in a place with a different quality of source water;
after replacing the membrane and / or replacement elements.

If the supplied water is of unknown quality, then it is advisable to analyze the purified water after the filter starts operating. In the future, to make sure that the filter is working properly, the purified water should be checked at least once a year, or if its taste changes. If the analysis results are unsatisfactory, contact the service organization.
If water leakage or other malfunctions are detected, stop the water supply to the filter and call a specialist to restore normal operation.
Important! If the temperature in the room where the filter is installed can drop below 0 ° C, it is necessary to protect the filter from the effects of low temperatures. If this condition is not met, you cannot count on warranty service.
Modifications to the system or making any design changes are prohibited. This can result in personal injury and / or property damage. In this case, the warranty also becomes invalid.
All necessary plumbing work must be carried out by a qualified technician. If you make the connection yourself, then you must familiarize yourself with the current rules and adhere to them.
When moving the filter for storage for more than 2 weeks, you must:

disconnect the filter from the water supply, turn off the power supply;
empty the storage tank;
remove the membrane and replaceable elements, pack in a bag and place in the refrigerator (+2 - + 5 ° C).

Replacement parts should not be stored near odorous or toxic substances and must be protected from dust.
Do not keep purified water in aluminum or copper containers due to possible corrosion and a possible increase in the concentration of non-ferrous metal ions in clean water.
Do not place objects on top of the filter and storage tank.

Check the system regularly for leaks.

To limit damage from water leaks, it is recommended to install an atoll anti-leak valve Leak Stop® on the tube through which water is supplied to the filter.

The service life of the atoll reverse osmosis filter is 5 years.

Although the atoll reverse osmosis filter retains all bacteria and viruses contained in the source water, it is recommended to use the filter only with microbiologically safe water. Use a filter to purify water that has been pre-disinfected with chlorination or UV light. Otherwise, the service life of the prefilters may be shorter than the period of their regular replacement.

ATTENTION!

To avoid bacteria getting into the filter during installation, we recommend that you wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water or use new clean rubber gloves before connecting all pipes and installing the membrane and cartridges, as well as before installing the water supply unit and the storage tank tap.

* - the useful volume of the storage tank depends on the pressure in the water supply and is usually 50-70% of the total volume.

A typical water treatment scheme is shown in fig. 3... All elements are replaceable, and you can always choose the most optimal option for your conditions.

For reliable and long-term operation of the atoll reverse osmosis system, it is recommended to use the following devices of the shown diagram in order of decreasing importance:

Stage 2 - pressure reducing valves with a preset pressure in the range of 3-4.5 bar to protect against pressure surges in the water supply.
Stage - 1 - pre-filter - on highly contaminated water.

The rest of the steps are optional and serve to protect other plumbing devices. See the Commentary Table for details.

All equipment is built into the water distribution system, but its further maintenance (cleaning, replacement of cartridges) and repairs are carried out right on the spot - without dismantling from the water supply network.

The drinking water filter is installed in the kitchen in the cabinet under the sink.

Due to the high performance of the circuit elements, their installation does not affect the water flow rate in any way.

All devices, with the exception of filters for drinking water, are capable of functioning in a wide temperature range: for cold water - up to + 40 ° С, for hot water - up to + 80 ° С.

PRESSURE PUMP CONNECTION DIAGRAM FOR SYSTEMS A-550 p, A-575 p

Indexes in the designation of models

“M” - a carbon cartridge with mineral additives is used as a post-filter;

“P” - the system is equipped with a pressure boosting pump.

When installing outside centralized drinking water supply systems, it is recommended to pre-analyze the source water. If the water characteristics established as a result of the analysis are worse than those indicated above, it is advisable to install an additional water treatment system. It is better to consult the specialists of the seller or service center about its composition.

I. CONNECTING FLEXIBLE PIPES WITH QUICK DISCONNECTORS

ATTENTION: the tubes can be cut for ease of installation, but we recommend keeping their length to facilitate service. No tools are required to connect the four colored tubing. The pipes must be cut straight, otherwise leaks at the joints are possible.

JOIN IS VERY EASY!

Cut the tube at a right angle.
Insert it into the connector until it stops. Apply additional force to seal the connection. At the same time, the tube will be drowned by about 3 mm and will be tightly crimped with the rubber ring of the connector.

PIPE CLOSED

Pull on the tubes to check the connection.

To prevent accidental disconnection, secure the ring with the blue clip ( fig. 6).

DISCONNECTING EASY

Make sure there is no pressure in the tube.
Remove the blue clip to prevent accidental disconnection.
Click on the ring at the bottom.
Pull out the tube while holding the ring down.

Please pay attention to the need to check the tightness of the connection before installing the filters. During this check, it is necessary to pull the tubes coming out of the connectors with sharp movements. This will check the reliability of the connection and ensure the tube is notched with the metal hooks of the connector.

The tubing should be cut straight, at right angles.

II. DRILLING THE HOLE FOR THE PURE WATER TAP AND CONNECTING IT TO THE FILTER

ATTENTION: although the process of drilling a hole in the sink is not very difficult, it nevertheless requires appropriate skills, attention and care. Use safety glasses and gloves. Contact a specialist if necessary.

To install a clean water tap (A), a flat surface of sufficient rigidity is required so that the tap is securely anchored in an upright position. When choosing a location for drilling a hole (diameter 13 mm), be guided by aesthetic considerations, first making sure that:

the length of the blue tube is enough to connect a clean water tap to the filtration unit;
on the underside of the countertop or sink, nothing will interfere with the connection of the tube to the fresh water tap.

Install the clean water tap in accordance with fig. eight... We recommend not to tighten the nut (see. fig. eight) before the installation is completed and the system is functional, so that it is possible to make sure that there is no water leakage at the junction of the valve body and the threaded tube. A set of parts for connection with a tube can be supplied complete with a clean water tap, or a clean water tap may include a quick-disconnect connector. On fig. 9a, b, c the possible ways of connecting the blue tube to the fresh water tap are given.

If there is no place on the surface of the sink to install the tap, then it can be mounted on the surface of the table ( fig. ten).

III. CONNECTING TO THE COLD WATER LINE

ATTENTION: make sure the filter is connected to cold water (tmax 38 ° C). Connecting to hot water will damage the filter.

Close the valve that turns off the cold water supply. Open the cold water tap on the mixer to relieve pressure. If water continues to flow from the tap even after the valve is closed, you will have to close the main valve of the house or apartment.
The system is connected to the water supply through the water supply unit. The filter kit may include a combined water supply unit, a tee tap. In this case, go to step 6
Assemble the water supply assembly by connecting the ball valve to the tee, as shown in fig. eleven... Using the FUM tape, screw the water tap into the tee. Be extremely careful when connecting the valve - excessive force will damage its threads. Use only a wrench or small adjustable wrench. Do not use other materials to seal the connection.
Loosen the union nut and disconnect the flexible hose from the mixer.
Replace the union nut gasket if necessary.
Install the assembly into the gap in the mixer wand as shown in fig. 12... Use a wrench or adjustable wrench.
Connect the red tube from the filter to the ball valve using a union nut or quick disconnect.

IV. INSTALLING THE TANK BALL VALVE

Note: do not touch the air valve on the storage tank (located on the bottom of the tank).

When filling and emptying the tank, a yellow tube is used; depending on the operating mode, the direction of water flow changes in it.

Wrap the threads on the top of the tank three times with FUM tape.
Connect the tank ball valve to the top of the storage tank (see fig. 13). To avoid damage to the valve, do not use excessive force when installing it. Use a wrench or adjustable wrench.
Connect the yellow tube from the filter to the ball valve quick connector of the storage tank using a union nut or quick connector.

V. DRAIN CLAMP INSTALLATION

The drain clamp fits the drain siphons of sinks with a diameter of 40 mm.

It must be installed on the vertical part of the pipe before the first bend of the siphon ( fig. 13). The section of the pipe into which the drainage pipe goes must not be filled with water

Drill a 6.5mm hole where you plan to install the drain clamp.
Stick the seal on the inside of the drain clamp bracket with connection. Insert the tube into the clamp bracket ( fig. fifteen).
Position the two drain clamp brackets so that the hole drilled in the siphon lines up with the hole in the drain clamp and the protruding part of the tube.
Tighten the mounting bolts. They should be tightened evenly so that the two drain clamp brackets are parallel to each other.

The filter can be completed with a drain clamp with a union nut.

Vi. RINSING THE FILTER AND STARTING OPERATION

DO NOT DRINK WATER THAT HAS BEEN OBTAINED FROM TWO FIRST TANK FILLINGS!

Install prefilter (s). The first prefilter (marking on the PREFILTER flask) is already installed in all models. Install the carbon cartridge into the second flask (CARBON marking). Install a mechanical pre-filter in the third stage (SEDIMENT). To install the cartridge, you need to unscrew the flask using a wrench (10). Carefully remove the protective tape from the cartridge and install it in the flask. Pay attention to the “THIS END NEXT TO VESSEL THREADS“ mark on the top cap of the cartridge or the directions on the label. Tighten the flask by hand, without using a wrench, without applying excessive force.
Install the membrane. To do this, disconnect tubing (H) from the diaphragm cover quick connector. Unscrew the cap of the membrane flask (MEMBRANE marking). Lubricate the rubber seals on the diaphragm with silicone grease. Install the diaphragm into the body according to fig. sixteen... Lubricate the diaphragm flask cap seal with silicone grease and carefully install it onto the flask. Screw on the cap of the diaphragm flask and attach the tube (H). Make sure that the flask cap O-ring is installed on the flask without distortion.
Disconnect tubing (F) from the inlet of the shut-off valve and direct it into any container (bucket, sink, etc.).
Open for 2-3 minutes. water supply valve (B) for flushing the cartridges.
Close the water supply valve (B), attach the tube (F).
Close the tank cock (C).
Open the water tap (B). Switch on the power supply if a pump is present in the system.
Make sure there are no leaks.
After five minutes, water will start dripping from the fresh water tap (A). Let the water drip for 10 minutes, after which, after a few minutes, water will stop flowing into the drain from the black tube. The system has now reached the maximum possible clean water pressure. Pull on the tubes again to check the connection.
Open the tank valve (C) by turning it 90 ° - the process of filling the tank will begin. This will take several hours depending on the inlet water pressure.
After filling the tank (you will hear that water is no longer flowing to the drain and the pump (if present) is not working) open the clean water tap (A) and wait until all the water has drained out.
Close the fresh water tap (A). Let the tank fill a second time. This process will take about 2 hours. Then drain the water from the tank.
The clean water from the third filling of the tank can be used.
Important! Check the system daily for leaks during the first week of operation.
When the system is first started up, the color of the water may be slightly milky. Don't worry - these are small air bubbles, they will disappear soon. The normal process of displacing air from the system is in progress.
Make sure there is no leakage at the bottom of the pure water tap body, tighten the tap nut ( fig. eight).

Vii. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE

(cm. fig. 4)

* - the actual terms of replacement of replaceable elements can significantly differ from the recommended ones due to the poor quality of the water supplied to the filter.

If it is necessary to replace worn-out cartridges, it is recommended to purchase special sets of replacement elements.

Replacing prefilters

Open the fresh water tap (A) to relieve pressure.
Using the key (10), unscrew the prefilter flasks; for this, hold the system with one hand, and turn the key with the other.
Remove and dispose of used replacement parts. It is recommended to protect your hands by wearing rubber gloves to avoid touching used items. Replaceable elements, as well as the filter itself (at the end of its service life), must be disposed of together with solid household waste.
Remember the sequence of installing replacement elements. Wash the inside of the flasks with household detergent and a brush and rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Remove the o-rings of the flasks, wipe them dry. It is advisable to lubricate the gasket of the new replaceable element, as well as the O-rings of the prefilter flasks, with silicone grease or vaseline oil.
Place the new replaceable elements in the filter flasks in the order in which the old ones were installed (after removing the plastic film from the new cartridges), and screw them to the system until it stops. The flask must be screwed on by hand; a plastic wrench can be used only in case of EXTREME NECESSITY.
Disconnect the white tubing (F) from the inlet of the shut-off (four-way) valve.
Place a bucket or sink under the pipe and turn on the water tap (B). In this case, the newly installed replaceable elements will be flushed.
After 2-3 minutes, close the water tap (B) and connect the pipe (F) to the shut-off valve.
Close the fresh water tap (A).
Open the water tap (B). Switch on the power supply.
Check the system for leaks.

Replacing the membrane

Pay attention to the tightness of the quick couplings when replacing the diaphragm. If, after several connections (for example, to replace cartridges), the edge of the tube has numerous "seizures", it should be cut off.

Close the water tap (B). Disconnect the power supply.
Close the storage tank valve by turning it 90 degrees.
Open the fresh water tap (A).
Disconnect the tube (H) from the membrane flask cap (MEMBRANE mark on the flask).
Unscrew the cap of the membrane flask, remove the used membrane. Remember the direction of installation of the membrane in the flask, discard the old membrane. The used membrane must be disposed of together with solid household waste.
Install a new membrane (see item 2 of the section "Flushing the filter and getting started").
Close the fresh water tap (A).
Open the storage tank valve (C).
Open the water supply valve (B) to the system. Switch on the power supply.
10. Check the system for leaks.

Replacing the carbon post-filter

Pay attention to the tightness of the quick couplings when replacing the post filter. If, after several connections (for example, to replace cartridges), the edge of the tube has numerous "seizures", it should be cut off.

Close the water tap (B). Disconnect the power supply if a pump is present in the system.
Close the storage tank valve by turning it 90 degrees.
Open the fresh water tap (A).
Detach the two tubes from the post-filter (POSTFILTER marking on the flask).
While holding the filter, remove the post-filter from the clips holding it.
Install the new postfilter in place of the removed one. Do not mix up the inlet and outlet (the direction of water flow is indicated on the body)
Attach the tubes to the quick disconnect connectors.
Open the system water tap (B) and clean water tap (A). Switch on the power supply. Let the water drain for about 10-15 minutes.
Close the fresh water tap (A).
Open the storage tank valve (C).

After any replacement of replaceable elements, it is necessary to flush the entire system. To do this, it is necessary to drain one tank of water, which will be filled up in 1.5 - 2 hours.

Before connecting the tubing to the quick couplings, it is advisable to lubricate the ends of the tubing with silicone grease or petroleum jelly to better seal the connection.

Unevenly cut tubing can cause leaks in the system. If necessary, correct the cut so that the cut angle is 90 °.

Dependence of the volume of obtained pure water on the water pressure at the filter inlet (water temperature 15 ° C, product withdrawal 15%)

DISINFECTION OF THE FILTER

Reverse osmosis systems are disinfected after a long (more than 3 weeks) system downtime. Disinfection is also desirable when replacing cartridges. Use unflavored 5.25% household chlorine bleach (sodium hypochlorite). Distinguish between disinfection of the filtration unit and disinfection of the storage tank.

The sequence of actions for disinfection of the filtration unit

Turn off the water supply.
Close the tank tap.
Remove and discard all cartridges and post-filter.
Remove the membrane, pack it in an airtight bag and place in the refrigerator.
Screw the flasks of the 2nd and 3rd prefilters, the membrane flask, connect the tube from the pure water tap to the tee instead of the postfilter.
Pour 50 ml of bleach into the flask of the 1st prefilter. Screw on the flask.
Open a fresh water tap.
Resume water supply to the system.
When water that smells of chlorine comes out of the fresh water tap, close it and turn off the water supply to the system again.
Leave the system on for 2-3 hours.
Open a fresh water tap and resume water supply to the system. Wait for the chlorine odor in the tap water to disappear.
Install new cartridges into the system. Install the membrane. Open the storage tank tap. Restore the water supply.

The sequence of actions for disinfection of the storage tank

Turn off the water supply.
Open a fresh water tap and drain all the water.
Close the tank tap.
Remove prefilter cartridges 1-3.
Screw the flasks of the 2nd and 3rd prefilters.
Disconnect the tubing to the storage tank from the post-filter tee and connect it to the outlet of the 3rd prefilter instead of the tubing to the shut-off valve.
Pour about 10 ml of bleach into the flask of the 1st prefilter. Screw on the flask.
Open the tap on the tank.
Resume water supply to the system for 5 minutes.
Close the tap on the tank and leave it filled with solution for 1 to 2 hours.
Drain the tank by disconnecting its tube from the outlet of the 3rd prefilter. Re-establish the original tubing connections.
Install cartridges into the system. Open the tap on the tank. Restore the water supply.

Options

1. Increasing the system performance, upgrading the system to operate at low water pressure in the supply line (for models not equipped with a pressure boosting pump).

If the water pressure at the filter inlet does not exceed 2.8 atm., Then to increase the capacity, it is advisable to install a pressure boosting pump ( fig. 17). If there is a possibility of increasing the pressure in the inlet pipeline above 4 atm., In order to prevent leaks, it is recommended to install a Honeywell D04 or D06F pressure reducing valve before the pump.

The pump is installed in front of the first prefilter in the rupture of the red supply tube. For normal operation of the pump, it is necessary to fix it on a vertical or horizontal surface with four screws.

* If the input water is of very poor quality and contains a large amount of mechanical impurities, it is necessary to install an additional atoll I-11S main pre-filter for normal pump operation.

The pump should only be installed in a set with a high pressure sensor installed in the tube break in front of the storage tank. The sensor is necessary so that the pump only works while the storage tank is filling. After the tank is full, the water flow is stopped and the pump is turned off. The low pressure sensor prevents the pump from running dry. The sensor is mounted in front of the first pre-filter. Both the high pressure pump and the sensors are equipped with quick connectors.
2. Elimination of microbiological contamination of the input water. The presence of microorganisms leads to fouling of prefilters, a drop in pressure and, accordingly, to a stop of the filter as a whole. To avoid this, it is recommended to pre-install the Sterilight SC1 / 2 UV lamp (see. fig. 18) complete with atoll I-11S main pre-filter.
3. Protection of the storage tank from unwanted ingress of microorganisms. If the filter is not used for a long time (2-3 weeks), there is a possibility of the penetration of microorganisms through the tap of clean water into the storage tank. It is possible to clean the tank from microorganisms that have got there only by subsequent flushing with a disinfectant solution. To prevent this, it is necessary to install a Sterilight SC1 / 2 ultraviolet lamp between the clean water tap and the storage tank in the break of the blue tube (see. fig. nineteen). The lamp is attached to the filtration unit or to any surface using two clips.
4. Connection to the ice maker. The ice maker is connected to the filter through a tee (for example, UT0404) installed in the break of the blue tube from the filtration unit to the tap ( fig. 20). The length of the tube from the filter to the ice maker should not exceed 10 meters.

5. Reducing the content of nitrates in the source water.

For the most effective removal of nitrates, it is necessary to additionally install a filter containing the atoll NRC-10 replaceable element. The decision on the place of installation of the nitrate prefilter should be coordinated with the specialists of the seller or service center.

The reverse osmosis filter is placed last in the filter chain and provides the final water purification from the most subtle contaminants. The filter cartridge elements carry out the preliminary and final processing phases. For the main cleaning, a membrane with microscopic through holes is used. Suffice it to say about the effectiveness of the membrane that it allows water molecules to pass through, but retains bacteria and viruses, and, of course, larger impurities. At the exit from the osmotic filter, you get absolutely pure drinking water.

There may be a different number of cartridge filter elements and membranes depending on the model. The most common options for reverse osmosis filters contain 3-4 cartridge elements and one membrane. The model without storage tank can have 2 or 3 membranes. Cartridge elements provide water pre-treatment to protect the membrane from damage by solid particles and deposits.

The design of the reverse osmosis filter is quite simple and allows not only independent replacement of cartridges and membranes, but also installation of the product. When properly connected and operated, the reverse osmosis filter does not require frequent maintenance. However, over time, the effectiveness of any filter decreases and it becomes necessary to carry out work to clean it.

Diaphragm contamination is the flip side of its high performance. Particles of impurities separated from water are retained on the membrane surface, clogging microscopic holes. For the efficient operation of the water treatment system, periodic cleaning or replacement of the reverse osmosis filters is required.

It is recommended to use water pre-treatment filters to reduce membrane fouling. In the five-stage Atoll A-560 filter, there are three cartridge filter elements in front of the membrane, which sequentially remove from the water: solid particles with a size of 15-30 microns, organic matter and chlorine compounds, particles with a diameter of 1-5 microns. Pre-cleaning extends the life of the membrane and increases its mechanical safety. Atoll filters are replaced by specialists from the BIIKS unified service department. The replacement kit includes a membrane and four cartridge elements. The filter cartridges are changed at a frequency of once every six months / year, the membrane - once every two years. A different schedule for replacing filter elements is possible.

To restore the filtering properties of the membrane, rinsing with clean water under pressure is used, as well as acid or alkaline reagents. The choice of reagent depends not only on the type of membrane, but also on the nature of the contamination. Acidic reagents are used to remove inorganic mineral deposits, alkaline reagents are used to remove organic contaminants and oils. Before carrying out cleaning procedures using acidic reagents, it is necessary to ensure that the parts and materials of the filter are resistant to the corrosive effects of the acidic environment.

With the rare use of purification equipment, bacterial colonies that have settled on the wet surface of the membrane actively develop and can impair its performance by blocking the holes. The reverse osmosis filter is disinfected with alkaline reagents. As a cleaning method, circulating flushing or keeping the membrane in solution is used. In addition to microbiological contamination, the holes in the membrane can be clogged with ultrafine colloidal suspensions.

The measures for the installation, replacement and cleaning of the osmotic filter will be quickly and efficiently carried out by the specialists of the BIIX single service department. To ensure a long and efficient operation of the water treatment system, enter into a maintenance contract.

The purity of drinking water is important. Atoll reverse osmosis filters are systems that provide the highest possible water purification thanks to multi-stage technology, which uses the principle of membrane treatment. This is an advanced method, therefore, these products are in wide demand, including in our country.

Device and features

The basic principle of reverse osmosis is the pressure difference arising on both sides of the membrane (main filter made of polyamide or cellulose acetate). It is a special honeycomb material with numerous pores, hollow fiber or roll. As a result of passing through it, the liquid is purified by 99.9% of various undesirable impurities.

The membrane is very thin, but it consists of two layers with different densities.Actually, this is a feature of Atoll water filters.

The water purification process itself is as follows:

first, the water passes through three pre-filters, in which it is mechanically cleaned of the largest particles;
then it goes to the charcoal filter, where it gets rid of many organic substances and chlorine compounds;
this is followed by repeated mechanical cleaning from the smallest fractions by screening;
finally, the liquid reaches the membrane filter and is processed at the molecular level under pressure;
at the same time, the water is separated: the clean water is sent to the storage tank, the rest - to the drainage;
the last stage of treatment includes additional treatment with activated carbon.

Thanks to this multi-level technique, the liquid is obtained free of dangerous bacteria and viruses, heavy metal salts, and dissolved salts. This water can be called drinking water. It is odorless, has a pleasant taste, and can be consumed even by small children.

Advantages and disadvantages

This product is certified and has a warranty period (the membrane is designed to operate for 3-5 years).

obtaining extremely purified water, enriched with oxygen and having high taste qualities;
simple installation and repair (for this there is no need to use the tools at hand, and the connection using tubes of different colors makes this process intuitive);
nice design of models, suitable for any interior;
high quality components produced by the well-known manufacturer Pentek;
the ability to purchase the necessary replacement parts.

The disadvantages of devices relate not only to Atoll filters, but also to similar devices using reverse osmosis:

rather slow generation of pure water with an average productivity;
the possibility of using only prepared water (you will have to acquire a simple mechanical filtering device);
high water consumption (during purification, up to 70-75% of the liquid is discarded);
since the outlet water is purified to such an extent that it lacks the necessary minerals, the user will also have to buy a special device that can restore the useful composition of the water.

Despite these shortcomings and considerable cost, Atoll products are highly appreciated by experts and are very popular.

Model overview

Filtration equipment can be selected taking into account performance, depending on the need for a certain amount of water, as well as based on the conditions of different pressures present in the water supply system.

Atoll a-550 "Patriot" - small compact model, mounted under the sink. A feature of the device is fixation with special clips. The equipment has a capacity of 120 liters of water per day. Working temperature - from +4 to + 38 ° С, pressure - 2.8-6 atmospheres.
Atoll A-575p STD - a modern device suitable for an apartment or a private house. Works at low pressure in the water supply (2.8 and below). Thanks to the pump, this model increases the water pressure and increases productivity up to 195 liters per day.

A-450 STD - the most demanded modification with a capacity of 10 liters of liquid per hour. The advantages are excellent assembly, durable plastic of the cartridges, fastening of filters on a metal plate and high quality osmotic membrane made in the USA.
Atoll A-560E.This system has a high performance (up to 260 liters of water per day). It can be used for large families and is also suitable for offices, cafes and other public places. The storage tank stores up to 8 liters of liquid. The model is equipped with a high-pressure pump, a ceramic drinking tap, a built-in membrane. The device can be purchased either assembled or as a set of elements.

At low pressure in the water pipes, modifications with the "P" index should be chosen, since they are equipped with a special pump.

System connection diagram

The installation of the device, if you follow the instructions, can be carried out on your own.

The filter kit contains everything you need for this:

the device itself with a block of replaceable consumables;
shut-off device for fluid supply;
special key made of plastic;
tee;
plastic pipes;
mixer (for clean water);
fasteners.

Before starting work, it is important to check if the pipes are long enough to connect the system.

The installation process itself includes the following steps:

at an angle of 90 degrees, the tube is cut to prevent leakage;
then the tube is immersed in the connector a few millimeters, so that it is tightly crimped by its ring;
to prevent disconnection, a bracket is installed;
the mixer of the purified liquid is cut into the sink;
connect cold water supply at a temperature of +38 degrees;
after closing it, open the mixer, so the pressure is released;
if water continues to drip, a general overlap is carried out in the room or in the entire building;
the assembly of the fluid supply unit, the connection of the tee with the tap (do this carefully, otherwise you can damage the thread);
at this stage it is important to make sure of the maximum tightness of the nut gasket;
the supply unit is mounted in the supply line, after which the mixer is connected to the filtering device.

As a rule, the first bulb is already installed during assembly, so the rest should be installed.To do this, the container is untwisted using a plastic wrench (you can tighten it by hand). It remains to open the liquid supply and the mixer for purified water. If no leak is found, the valve closes.

It is recommended to carry out work in rubber gloves to prevent infection from entering the equipment. A few days after installation, monitor for leaks. Initially, the water will have a milky hue due to the presence of air bubbles, but this should not be a cause for concern, after a while the liquid will acquire its natural color.

Filter replacement

Unfortunately, the periodic replacement of some elements cannot be avoided, but it does not present any particular difficulties.

To do this, you need to do the following:

for a start, it is worth disconnecting the device located under the sink, having previously made an overlap;
then, using a plastic wrench, the lower container is unscrewed, it should be emptied and rinsed;
the seal must be lubricated with silicone paste included in the equipment set;
a new consumable is mounted in a container that is installed back;
this is how the entire device is connected in series.

After turning on the supply, it is important to carefully check the system for leaks.

Elements should be replaced at regular intervals:

coal cleaner - every six months;
mechanical sump - every 60-90 days;
polypropylene - once every 6 months;
membrane filter - every 24 months;
carbon ionizing layer - every 12 months.

If the system is optimized regularly, the fixture can be used for many years.

Equipment malfunctions

System failures can occur for various reasons.

There are several main types of malfunctions.

Leaks. The reason may be that the pipes are cut unevenly, there is no tightness, pressure drops are observed or the thread is not fully tightened.
Water flows into the drain. This is possible if the shut-off valve is faulty, replacement parts are clogged, pre-filters are damaged or pressure is low.
There is not enough water in the storage tank. This situation can be observed at the beginning of the operation of the device. It takes at least 1.5 hours for the tank to fill. Also, the reason may be clogging of the membrane, other filters or high pressure in the tank.
Low productivity. This is due to kinked pipes, low inlet pressure, clogging of the membrane and other cartridges, too cold water.

Another common problem is the unpleasant taste and smell of water. This is due to clogged filters or improper connection of the pipes. The noise is due to high inlet pressure or blockage in the drain. If the pump does not turn off, it is necessary to adjust the high pressure regulator or find out why there is not enough water in the tank.

The American company Atoll has been presenting its products on the domestic market for over two decades. During this time, Atoll water filters have earned an excellent reputation and began to be actively used in everyday life. Products are presented in several groups that differ in function. The Atoll filter can be industrial and household, main and flow. Let's take a closer look at the characteristics of household water purification devices.

Firstly, only proven components are used.

Secondly, new types of parts are pre-tested. The tests are carried out in multi-stage, which guarantees the identification of all possible defects.

Thirdly, the devices are checked for leaks and the build quality is not selective. All filters that come off the conveyor are checked.

Atoll devices provide high quality water purification. This is due to the following factors.

For the manufacture of Atoll water filters, components from leading world manufacturers are used. All details are tested by many years of practice and guarantee the use of the best technologies for water purification from pollution. This package provides excellent results.

When testing products, only reliable facts and characteristics are used. When checking, no demonstration solutions are used. The devices are focused on the purification of tap water and do an excellent job with this task.

Construction and connection

Atoll filters are distinguished by a well thought-out design and ease of use. The device is quickly connected and disassembled, because it uses quick disconnect couplings. All assembly and disassembly processes do not require special tools, which ensures convenient and fast service.

The connection can be easily done by yourself. For this, multi-colored tubes are used. The passport contains detailed instructions for installing the device.

The Atoll filter purifies water using a cartridge system. This means that replaceable cartridges are used as filter elements. Their use makes the devices universal, since it becomes possible to adapt the devices to any quality and parameters of the liquid to be purified. You should take into account the main indicators and replace the cartridges in accordance with them.

For ease of use, the cartridges are equipped with a compatibility chart. This makes it possible not to search for similar filter elements, but to select others according to their characteristics. An instruction with a detailed description of how to replace cartridges is also attached.

Atoll filters are installed for water purification, like other flow-type devices, under the sink. In some models, reverse osmosis is used for filtration, which involves an additional placement of a tank to collect filtered water. The installation process is not complicated due to the presence of multi-colored tubes. This allows you not to get confused in the scheme of their connection.

If the installation process seems too complicated, then you can use the services of a specialist. Installation, repair and maintenance are carried out by Atoll service centers.

The numerous advantages of Atoll water filters make them an excellent option for domestic water supplies. Do not forget about the impeccable design of the device. All body parts have smooth lines and the drinking faucet looks elegant.
