5. Instrucciones de funcionamiento

The Aquaphor RO-70S system operates automatically once installed. It uses a multi-stage filtration process to provide clean drinking water.

5.1. Filtration Process

• Prefiltración: The CarbFiber Block technology in the pre-filters removes organic impurities, heavy metals, and chlorine, filtering particles down to 5 microns. This stage protects the RO membrane.
• Membrana de ósmosis inversa: The RO-50S membrane acts as a barrier against toxic substances, heavy metals, pesticides, bacteria, and viruses, ensuring high-purity water.
• Post-filtration: A final filter polishes the water, improving taste and odor.
