But the consequences of a mistake can be very serious. Our company offers you quality service equipment in Moscow at affordable prices.
How the Atoll filter works
The Atoll reverse osmosis connection diagram looks something like this. First, tap water passes through carbon and mechanical blocks (pre-filters). After this pre-treatment, it enters the semi-permeable membrane, where the main purification takes place. As a result of movement through the flow restrictor and the drain clamp, the dirty liquid flows into the sewer, while the cleaned one accumulates in the tank. When the faucet is opened, it heads towards the exit point, passing finishing in a carbon post-filter.
According to the instructions provided with the Atoll reverse osmosis filter, each of the mentioned elements must be changed periodically. A new membrane is usually installed after two or two and a half years of operation. Atoll pre-cleaner cartridges are replaced every six months. A standard carbon post-filter should last for a year.
Replacement
Regardless of which element of the Atoll water filters is changed, the first step is to shut off the supply tap and the valve of the storage tank. Then, you need to open the drinking tap so that all the liquid remaining in the system comes out.
Installing new prefilters
Replacing Atoll filters begins with unscrewing the corresponding housing. The further procedure is carried out according to the following scheme:
- The old prefilter is dismantled.
- Rinse and wipe dry interior surfaces.
- New elements are installed in the reverse order of the dismantling process.
- Disconnect the tube leading to next element system (some capacity is substituted under it).
- Started for a couple of minutes tap water.
- Both taps are closed, the tube is reattached.
- The tank valve opens, the water supply turns on.
Installation of a new membrane
When it comes to the membrane, the replacement of Atoll filter cartridges occurs in the following sequence:
- The tube connecting the element to the prefilter is unscrewed, and the housing cover is removed.
- The old membrane is removed, a new one is installed.
- The lid is screwed back, the tube is docked again.
- The drinking tap closes, the tank valve opens and the water supply opens.
Installing a new postfilter
According to the instructions of Atoll water filters, the replacement of cartridges of this type is carried out as follows:
- Two tubes are disconnected, the post-filter is carefully removed.
- The new block is installed.
- The tubes are docked back, tap water is turned on.
- After about 15 minutes, the drinking tap closes and the tank valve opens.
When the replacement of the Atoll filters is completed, it is necessary to thoroughly flush the entire system. To do this, you need to fill a full tank and drain all this water. Before connecting the tubes, it is recommended to lubricate their ends with Vaseline or silicone.
Common faults
When you have Atoll filters installed, replacing cartridges may not be your only repair option. Let's look at some common faults.
If there are leaks in the system, it may be due to leaky tubing connections, loose fittings, incorrect position of the drain clamp, or lack of o-rings. Replacing the cartridges in the Atoll reverse osmosis filter is not required here. It is enough to fix the above problems, and in the latter case it makes sense to quarrel with the supplier of the goods or the installer.
If the Atoll water purification system does not work well, replacing the filter 0 or membrane will not always provide the desired result either. Often the problem is due to low inlet pressure or kinked tubes. If there is a constant lack of pressure, you will have to buy a special pump. As for the tubes, they will just need to be straightened.
According to the recommendations of Atoll water filter manufacturers, replacement of cartridges may be required even in case of weak filling of the tank. However, this malfunction is also often associated with a clogged drain restrictor or check valve on the membrane. In such situations, it is enough to update only one of these elements.
Remember that when self repair Atoll filter replacement of cartridges according to the instructions is not always required. There is no need to rush to purchase rather expensive components without being convinced of the need for this. Careful study of technical recommendations will eliminate the problem without extra costs Or at least not let it get worse.
Purity drinking water – important point. Atoll reverse osmosis filters are systems that provide the highest water purification thanks to a multi-stage technology that uses the principle of membrane treatment. This is an advanced method, so these products are in great demand, including in our country.
Device and features
The basic principle of reverse osmosis is the pressure difference that occurs on both sides of the membrane (main filter made of polyamide or cellulose acetate). This is a special cellular material with numerous pores, hollow fiber or rolled. As a result of passing through it, the liquid is cleared by 99.9% of various unwanted 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 process of water treatment itself is as follows:
- first, the water passes through three pre-filters, in which it is mechanically cleaned of the largest particles;
- then it enters the carbon filter, where it gets rid of many organic matter and chlorine compounds;
- followed by a repeat mechanical cleaning from the smallest fractions by screening;
- finally the liquid reaches the membrane filter and is treated at the molecular level under pressure;
- at the same time, the water is separated: the clean one is sent to the storage tank, the rest - to the drainage;
- the last stage of processing includes post-treatment with activated carbon.
Thanks to this multi-level technique, the liquid is purified from dangerous bacteria and viruses, heavy metal salts, and dissolved salts. Such water can be called drinking water. It has no odors, has a pleasant taste, it can be used even by small children.
Advantages and disadvantages
This product is certified guarantee period(the membrane is intended for operation within 3-5 years).
- obtaining extremely purified water, enriched with oxygen and having high taste qualities;
- simple installation and repair (there is no need to use improvised tools for this, and the connection using tubes of different colors makes this process intuitive);
- nice design models, suitable for any interior;
- high quality components manufactured famous manufacturer Pentek;
- the ability to purchase the necessary replacement parts.
The disadvantages of devices concern not only Atoll filters, but also similar devices using reverse osmosis:
- rather slow generation of pure water at an average performance;
- the possibility of using only prepared water (you will also have to acquire a simple mechanical filtering device);
- high water consumption (during purification, up to 70-75% of the liquid is discarded);
- since the water at the outlet 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 useful composition water.
Despite these shortcomings and considerable cost, Atoll products highly acclaimed by experts and very popular.
Model overview
Filtering equipment can be selected based on performance, depending on the need for a certain amount of water, as well as based on the conditions of different pressure present in the plumbing system.
- Atoll a-550 "Patriot"- a small compact model mounted under the sink. A feature of the device is fixation with the help of 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 – 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 water pressure and increases productivity up to 195 liters per day.
- A-450 STD- the most popular modification with a capacity of 10 liters of liquid per hour. Among the advantages stand out excellent assembly, durable plastic cartridges, mounting filters on a metal plate and high quality osmotic membrane made in the USA.
- Atoll A-560E. This system has high productivity (up to 260 liters of water per day). It can be used for large families, and 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 pump high blood pressure, ceramic drinking faucet, built-in membrane. The device can be purchased from assembled, and a set of elements.
At low pressure in water pipes you should choose modifications with the “P” index, since they are equipped with a special pump.
System connection diagram
Installation of the device, if you follow the instructions, can be carried out on your own.
The set of the filtering device has everything you need for this:
- the device itself with a block of replaceable consumables;
- shut-off device for liquid supply;
- special key made of plastic;
- tee;
- plastic pipes;
- mixer (for clean water);
- fasteners.
Before work, it is important to check whether the pipes are long enough to connect the system.
The installation process itself includes the following steps:
- cut the tube at an angle of 90 degrees, preventing leakage;
- then the tube is immersed into the connector by a few millimeters, so that it is tightly crimped with its ring;
- so that separation does not occur, 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 it is closed, the mixer is opened, so the pressure is released;
- if water continues to drip, carry out a general overlap in the room or in the entire building;
- the fluid supply unit is assembled, the tee is connected to the tap (do this carefully, otherwise the thread may be damaged);
- at this stage, it is important to verify the maximum density of the nut gasket;
- the supply unit is mounted in the supply line, after which the mixer is connected to the filter device.
As a rule, the first flask is already installed during assembly, so the rest should be mounted. To do this, the container is untwisted using a plastic key (you can twist it by hand). It remains to open the liquid supply and the mixer for purified water. If no leak is found, the valve closes.
Work is recommended to be carried out in rubber gloves to prevent infection from entering the equipment. A few days after installation, they monitor for leaks. Initially, the water will have milky shade 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:
- to begin with, it is worth disconnecting the device located under the sink, having previously made the overlap;
- then, using a plastic key, the lower container is unscrewed, it should be emptied and rinsed;
- the seal must be lubricated with silicone paste included in the equipment kit;
- a new consumable is mounted in a container, which is installed back;
- so the whole device is connected in series.
After turning on the supply, it is important to carefully check the system for leakage.
Elements should be replaced at a certain frequency:
- coal cleaner - once every six months;
- mechanical sump - once every 60-90 days;
- polypropylene - once every 6 months;
- membrane filter - once every 24 months;
- carbon ionizing layer - once every 12 months.
If you regularly optimize the system, the device can be used for many years.
Hardware malfunctions
System crashes can occur for a variety of reasons.
There are several main types of faults.
- Leaks. The reason may be that the pipes are cut unevenly, there is no tightness, pressure drops are observed, or the threads are not fully tightened.
- Water flows into the drain. This is possible in case of malfunctions. shut-off valve, clogged replacement parts, damaged pre-filters or low pressure.
- Insufficient amount of 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 up. Also, the cause may be clogging of the membrane, other filters or high pressure in the tank.
- Low performance. This is due to kinked tubes, low inlet pressure, clogged membrane and other cartridges, too cold water.
Another common problem is the bad taste and smell of water. This can be due to clogged filters or incorrect tube connections. The noise is due to high inlet pressure or clogged drains. If the pump does not turn off, it is necessary to adjust the regulator high pressure or find out why there is not enough water in the tank.
Atoll is known in many countries as a manufacturer and supplier of water filters. The filter device includes only certified cartridges and membranes, and is not used for the cleaning process chemical elements, due to which Atoll systems are characterized by high performance and an appropriate degree of water purification.
In order for all indicators to meet the standards declared by the manufacturer, it is required to make timely replacement of Atoll cartridges.
When and what cartridges need to be changed?
If we take reverse osmosis as an example, then the system includes three types of cartridges: membrane, pre-filters and post-filters:
- The service life of prefilters is up to 6 months, depending on the intensity of use and the quality of the incoming water, but in any case, Atoll cartridges should be replaced at least once every six months;
- The service life of the membrane is up to 2 years, the period of operation directly depends on the timely replacement of prefilters;
- Reverse osmosis filters need to be changed at least once a year.
Only by observing such maintenance of the system can a high degree of cleaning and performance be obtained.
