Technical Specifications

Main characteristics of the power supply unit

Electrical Power Supply

Before connecting the Pressure boosting unit to the power supply, check that the power supply voltage
corresponds to the parameters specified in the Pressure boosting unit Manual. Use only a power supply with the output characteristics specified in this manual (24 V ± 5%, at least 1.5 A DC).

Before installing the Pressure boosting unit, make sure that it will be protected from freezing, water ingress, direct sunlight, contact with hot objects, including hot water pipes, radiators, and heating devices. Protect from shocks and falls.

The cord of the power supply connected to the Pressure boosting unit must not be stretched. Make sure that the power cord does not touch surfaces that can damage it.

Do not immerse the Pressure boosting unit, its power supply, the power cord, or the plug in water or other liquid. Do not wash them under running water or in the dishwasher.

To avoid electric shock, do not touch the  Pressure boosting unit connected to the power supply, the power supply unit, its power cord, or plug with wet hands. Do not allow contamination of the Pressure boosting unit housing. If necessary, wipe it with a dry cloth after disconnecting the Pressure boosting unit from the power supply.

Dissambeling the Unit

Do not use the Pressure boosting unit and the power supply if problems or damage to the wire are detected.
Do not attempt to repair the device yourself. If any malfunction is detected, first disconnect the power supply from the mains, then disconnect it from the Pressure boosting unit. Contact customer service.

Installation

Attention! It is not recommended to connect the Pressure boosting unit to the water purifier yourself. To
Connect the Pressure boosting unit. It is recommended to contact Aquaphor customer service or Aquaphor regional dealers.

The manufacturer is not responsible for the improper quality of the work on connecting the Pressure boosting unit to the water filter, as well as for the result of this work. Responsibility for the shortcomings of this work, as well as for causing harm to the health or property of the customer or other people as a result of these shortcomings, is borne by the party performing the installation. Select an appropriate location for the Pressure boosting unit.

Note that the connecting tubes should be loose and not bent. The free sections of the tubes should be fixed so that they cannot be damaged by other objects. The water filter must be placed at a distance or isolated from any heat sources (kitchen ovens, boilers, hot water supply pipes, dishwashers or washing machines, etc.) and placed in a place that prevents water from entering the housing of the Pressure boosting unit and the power supply unit.

Connecting the Tubes

Remove the stopping clip from under the plastic sleeve, insert the pre-wetted end of the tube into the sleeve of the fitting until it stops at a depth of about 15 mm, and insert the clip. Check the strength of the fastening of the tube: at a force of 8-10 kgf, the tube should not be pulled out.

Disconnecting the Tubes

To disconnect the tube, pull out the stopping clip from under the plastic sleeve and, pressing the end of the plastic sleeve, pull out the tube.

• Turn off the water supply to the water purifier (close the tap of the connection node).
• Relieve the pressure in the RO according to the manual for your RO.
• Remove the RO cover.
• Remove the plug from the fitting (11).
• Disconnect the tube included in the RO kit from the connections (2) and (6).
• Disconnect the tube (9) from the fitting (8).
• Connect the assembled Pressure reducer with a pipe (1), supplied with the Pressure boosting unit, to the nozzle (2).
• Then connect the white tube JG (in) (3A) to the free outlet of the reducer (1) after passing it through the process hole (4) in the console.
• Connect the white tube JG (out) (3B) to the fitting (6) after passing it through the process hole (4) in the console.
• Then connect the JG tube (9), which is part of the RO circuit and exits the storage tank, to the tee (7).
• Connect one end of the blue JG tube (3C), included in the Pressure boosting unit kit, to the free outlet of the tee (7) after passing it through the process hole (10) in the console.
• Put the RO cover back on.

FAQs

Q: What is the AQUAPHOR 100 GPD Pressure Boosting Unit?

This pump system ensures steady flow and the best possible filtration performance by raising the water pressure for reverse osmosis (RO) and other filtration systems.

Q: What does “100 GPD” mean?

Gallons Per Day is what GPD stands for. With the right flow and pressure, this unit can sustain a RO system that produces up to 100 gallons of filtered water daily.

Q: Does the unit protect my RO membrane?

Indeed, the pressure booster keeps the water pressure steady, which lessens the strain on the RO membrane and increases the effectiveness of water production.

Q: Is the unit safe for drinking water?

Indeed. Every substance that comes into contact with water has FDA approval and is safe for drinking.

Q: How do I contact AQUAPHOR support?

Visit the official AQUAPHOR website or contact the customer service number included in the instruction manual for technical support, replacement parts, and troubleshooting.

Q: What is the maximum operating pressure for the unit?

A maximum pressure of 60 PSI (4.1 bar) is intended for the booster pump. Operating over this could harm the linked RO system components or the unit itself.
