2.1 Intended use and not intended use
The Condair RO-H Reverse Osmosis System is intended to be used exclusively for pure water production
within the operating conditions as specied in the Installation, Operation and Service Manual, chapter 5.3
and must not be installed/used in explosion hazard areas. Any other use without the written consent of
Condair is considered as not conforming with the intended purpose and may lead to the Condair RO-H
Reverse Osmosis System becoming dangerous and will void any warranty.
Operation of the equipment in the intended manner requires that all the information contained in this
manual are observed (in particular the safety and hygiene instructions).
Not intended use
The pure water (RO water) is not drinking water and must not be connected to any drinking water outlet.
2.2 Hygiene
Please observe the local health and safety executive’s technical guidance on the control of Legionellosis
in water systems.
The user is responsible for ensuring that the water system complies with local regulations, bylaws and
guidelines (such as the HSE ACoP L8, VDI 6022, ISO 22000, HACCP or equivalent). If inadequately
maintained, the RO System, can support the growth of microorganisms, including the bacterium that
causes Legionnaires’ disease.
The RO-H is produced according to best hygiene standards, which means that we have considered
all aspects of this equipment to reduce the risk of Legionnaires’ disease and other similar conditions.
However, the user is responsible for ensuring that the installation, operation and maintenance work on
the equipment is performed in a manner, ensuring that the system stays clean!
2.2.1 Guidelines to ensure your system stays clean and prevent the growth of Le-
gionella
• Carry out a risk assessment of the water system using a competent person and implement an ap-
propriate monitoring and control program.
• Initiate procedures for checking the system, cleaning tanks, changing lters, disinfection etc.
• The RO-H must be connected to a clean, potable mains water supply.
• Enter into a service contract that suits you or your company.
• Stop the system if polluted drinking water is found in your area.
• Avoid water temperatures above 77 °F that favor the growth of Legionella. If the water temperature
surpasses 86 °F, the RO-H cannot be used in connection with a Condair MN.
• Do not stop the system unless it is faulty or leaking (avoid water stagnation).
• Disinfect the Condair RO-H System at least once a year and after every maintenance or repair. Al-
ways carry out a complete system disinfection inclusive humidier if it has been turned o for more
than 48 hours.
• Have water samples taken and tested for harmful bacteria at least once a year.
• Conduct follow-up measurements until the system is clean if bacteria have been detected in the
system.
5For your safety
The Condair service team can help. Condair has expert technicians who can provide:
• Bacteriological troubleshooting on site
• Cleaning and disinfecting
• Preventive maintenance
• Repair and fault nding
• Training and guidance
2.3 Ensure safe operation
If it is suspected that safe operation has been compromised, the RO-H should immediately be shut down
and secured against accidental power-up.
Shut down the RO-H if:
• Components are damaged, worn or very soiled.
• The RO-H does not work correctly.
• Joints, pipes or hoses are leaking.
No modications must be made on the RO-H without the manufacturer's consent. All persons working
with the RO-H must report any alterations made to the RO-H to the owner immediately. Use only original
accessories and spare parts available from your Condair representative.
2.4 Qualication of personnel
All installation work must be performed only by persons who are familiar with the Condair RO-H Sys-
tem and suciently qualied for such work. All work on electric installations must only be performed by
adequately qualied electricians.
Further details of qualication of personnel, safety considerantions and warranty can be found in the
complete Installation, Operation and Service Manual.
2.5 Important note regarding warranty
RO-H parts are covered by a two-year warranty from the invoice date with the exception of the replace-
ment parts listed in the routine maintenance section. Failure to observe the manufacturer's installation
and maintenance recommendations and instructions will invalidate the warranty. Condair Ltd. cannot
be made liable for damage or injury attributable to failure to observe the manufacturer's installation and
maintenance recommendations and instructions.
6Product overview
3 Product overview
3.1 Condair RO-H description
Reverse osmosis system (from now on called RO) with reservoir tank for removal (>95 %) of salts and
minerals in tap water.
The systems are designed by Condair Ltd. with focus on reliable and hygienically correct solutions. The
system uses a membrane separation process in which water molecules can pass through the membrane,
while the majority of salts and minerals are retained and thereafter ushed out to drain.
From the inlet, the water passes through a two steps of ltering before reaching the RO membrane. First
step is an activated carbon lter to remove any residual free Chlorine in the inlet water. Second lter
step is a sediment lter to remove particles above a size of 5 µm.
3.2 Inlet water quality requirements
The quality of the water being used in the Condair RO-H System should be checked prior to system
commissioning. The RO-H system must be connected to a clean, potable drinking water quality mains.
If the inlet water does not meet the quality specied in the preconditions table in chapter 3.3, it may be
necessary to install additional water treatment.
3.3 Installation considerations
Do not install the RO-H in a room that often surpasses an air temperature of 77 °F. Also keep installation
away from heat producing applications, such as boiler, central heating etc.
Observe the following restrictions concerning length of piping:
- Junction from tap water line to RO inlet: max. 6.5 ft
- RO to tank: max. 6.5 ft
- Tank to product inlet: max. 9.8 ft
- RO to drain siphon: max. 16.3 ft

*1) If the pressure exceeds 50 psi, it is mandatory to install a pressure reducer upstream of the RO-H
in the supply line, which is set to 50 psi max. pressure. A suitable pressure reducer is available
from Condair (2600230).
*2) If any of these values are higher, a water softener should be installed in front of the RO-H.
** When used with Condair MN max. 68 °F
*3) The RO-H may only be connected to a cold water line.

4.1 Important notes on installation
WARNING!
Do not retighten/unscrew hoses while the system is pressurized!
CAUTION!
Do not use oil, grease, glue, silicon, O-ring lubrication, etc. when assembling pipes or hose connections.
All of the above products can act as food for bacteria and are thus pose health risks. Only approved
lubricant: Liquid dish soap.
Wash your hands before or wear clean gloves while assembling parts in direct contact with water.
Keep dust covers on pipes and hoses until just before assembly.
CAUTION!
Do not fasten the pump station or hoses/pipes to vibrating installations.

Service, to be carried out Service interval [months]
Control weekly monitoring checklist 12
Check the condition of the pump (pressure & noise) pressure should be
min. 60 psi above inlet water pressure – if pressure is unstable – replace
lters and test again.
12
Functional testing of pressure switch. Close inlet water and check that
system stops – Close pressure tank valve and check that RO system
