AQUEENAPRO TECHNOLOGY AQUEENAPRO FEATURES AqueenaPro is a low-noise 5-stage fi ltration system which uses the most advanced international RO (reverse osmosis) technology currently available. The heart of the AqueenaPro water fi ltration system is a RO membrane with 0.0001-micron small pores designed to remove even dissolved impurities (heavy metals), pesticide residues as well as harmful micro organisms (bacteria and viruses). AqueenaPro signifi cantly reduces bacteria and infectious viruses.

• Built-in water tank, theoretical volume 2.5 Gallon (9.5 l).

• Computer control box, which automatically adjusts AqueenaPro’s working status.

• Filter change alarm, which indicates when the fi lter needs to be replaced.

• RO membrane integrated with the membrane housing to prevent tampering.

• Leakage sensor, to detect device leakage; it secures the user`s property and avoids damages caused by leaks.

• High pressure pump, which creates a stable environment for the RO membrane.

• Flushing solenoid valve, to fl ush the RO membrane automatically and control waste water fl ow.

• Inlet solenoid valve, which by defi nition opens or shuts inlet water pressure in a range between 0.03 and 0.6MPa (4.35 – 87 psi).

• Checking fl ow valve, to prevent water backfl ow.

Filter Replacement Time The AqueenaPro water purifying system is equipped with a special system to monitor fi lter life time. The system automatically monitors fi lter conditions and the current status is shown on the Filter Status Display. Green light – the fi lter works at its optimum level. Orange light - the fi lter will soon need replacing. Please contact Zepter Service for maintenance support. A red light along with an audible alarm (4 buzzes) means that the fi lter must be changed imme- diately. Further use of the fi lter is not recommended. Attention! Max. recommended fi lter replacement cycle represents time equivalent of AqueenaPro engaged in the process of fi ltration. Theoretical model used in the calculation of max. recommended fi lter replacement cycle is based on 10L per day of purifi ed water consumption. For demand exceeding the model assumptions, replacement cycle may vary. The fi lter replacement cycle is not the fi lter quality warranty period, but the expected cycle (lifetime) when the fi lter shows its original performance. The lifetime of the fi lter is affected by the daily water consumption and inlet water condition, therefore, the fi lter replacement cycle may be shorter for the areas where the water contains high level of suspended solids (particles, sediments, etc.)EN

Filter type Max. recommended fi lter replacement cycle (months) WT-100-72 5-micron PP fi lter

WT-100-75 Coconut fi lter

Membrane Max. recommended fi lter replacement cycle (months) WT-100-15 RO membrane

RO Membrane Replacement Time The manufacturer recommends changing the RO membrane WT-100-15 with the Coconut fi lter WT- 100-75; therefore refer to Coconut fi lter replacement period as shown on the Filter Status Display (No. 5) Tips! If you are unsure about the right time for changing your fi lter,

• Is the TDS level signifi cantly higher than at the beginning of the purifi cation process? (Please refer to your record in the Warranty Card).

• Does it take longer to completely fi ll the water tank compared to the beginning of the purifi cation process?

• Is the amount of waste water greater than at the beginning of the purifi cation process? If you have answered YES to at least one of these 3 questions, please change your fi lter(s).EN
