The effectiveness of reverse osmosis filters for purifying drinking water is beyond doubt, but choosing a model that is reliable and pays off in the long term is not as easy as it seems.

The problem is solved by purchasing Atoll filters, assembled using components from the USA. The quality of these systems is considered standard; for the last 20 years, the brand has occupied a leading position in the Russian and global markets.

Filter replacement frequency

Over time, cartridges become dirty and become unusable. The Aquaphor company produces three types of filters: in jugs (the simplest), using reverse osmosis and flow-through models. Each of them has its own service life.

Changing the cartridge

The replacement period for various types of filters is determined as follows:

The use of flow-through models is designed to purify 7000 liters of water.
Simple filters exhaust their service life after processing 4000 liters.
Filters for hard water are capable of efficiently cleaning 6000 liters.
Reverse osmosis devices are usually replaced once every two years.

Once the resource has expired, a replacement must be made. Typically, their service life is from 6 to 10 months.

In what cases are such cleaners required?

Reverse osmosis systems are used for water purification in domestic conditions and are installed in apartments, heated private houses, small offices and cafes.

The need to purchase them arises:

With a high concentration of heavy metals and calcium and magnesium salts;
If there is a noticeable smell of chlorine in tap water;
If it is impossible to remove insoluble mechanical impurities by other means;
When pathogenic bacteria are detected in water.

Water purification with membranes cannot be called budgetary; installation of reverse osmosis filters must be economically justified.

Criterias of choice

Purchase a device taking into account:

source water quality;
required performance;
financial opportunities.

If the water in the water supply is not too dirty, then there is no point in systems with five stages of purification. In this case, simpler filters are suitable.

But residents of regions with developed industry need to get rid of heavy metals, chlorine compounds and other harmful components. Therefore, they will need expensive and powerful devices.

When choosing, you should consider that there are options with an enhanced water softening effect. They have the indices S and U.

It's also important to pay attention to performance. It is selected depending on the number of users. If there are 3-4 people in a family, then a filter for 3-6 liters is enough.

But large offices and public institutions require high-performance filtration units that can purify up to a thousand liters of water.

Features of the cleaners of this TM

The Atoll trademark was registered in the USA in the mid-80s. XX century company Pentair, and became widely known after the release of household water treatment systems using reverse osmosis technology.

The distinctive features of Atoll household water treatment systems include high performance (including thanks to the compact but capacious tank for clean water in the basic kit) and good quality of plastic , surfaces and joints.

Water purified with their help gets rid of chlorine, unwanted organic and chemical impurities and other foreign substances, after which its structure is restored using a post-filter.

Starting the system

It is important to start reverse osmosis correctly. The inlet valve should be opened. It is necessary to inspect the system for leaks. All joints and threaded connections are carefully inspected. If drops of water are visible, you need to tighten the bolts and other connections more. But you can’t be too zealous, as you can break the thread.

The faucet handle for clean water must be opened. After some time, the filtered liquid will begin to drip. Then you need to wait 40 minutes. After this, the tap is closed. You should wait approximately 1.5 more hours. During this time, the storage tank will fill. The duration of this process depends on the characteristics of the membrane filter.

When the tank is completely filled, you need to completely drain the liquid from it. When the water flow weakens, you can close the tap. It is highly not recommended to drink water that the system would have filtered the first and second time. The procedure is repeated again.

Only after the third filling of the tank with water can it be drunk and used for cooking.

During the first week, you should periodically check the system for leaks. When it first starts, reverse osmosis can filter water that appears milky. It contains many air bubbles. They are forced out of the system during operation. Over time, the water will acquire its normal color and become transparent. The presence of air does not reduce the quality of the purified liquid.

Step-by-step installation instructions

Atoll household reverse osmosis filters are installed exclusively in heated rooms, after rough cleaning systems with autonomous water supply or in the immediate vicinity of the drinking water intake point in the kitchen or office.

Work on their installation is carried out in the following sequence (after turning off the flow and discharging residues from the supply pipeline):

Flexible connecting tubes are cut at right angles and connected using a connector. After checking the reliability of the connection (tubes rarely pull in different directions), the ring is fixed with a bracket.
A hole is prepared for the drinking tap, after which it is connected to flexible tubes and fixed in a vertical position.
The filter is connected to the cold water line (a combined supply unit, included in the basic package, is installed).
The ball valve of the storage tank is attached to its top after wrapping the threaded sections with FUM tape.
A drainage clamp is installed on the vertical section of the pipe.
All fastening bolts are tightened, the cleaning cartridges and membrane are sequentially inserted into the filter and washed (at this stage, work is carried out with clean gloves). After checking the tightness, the storage tank is filled twice and emptied completely. If there are no leaks on the drinking tap and the system is operating normally within 2 weeks, the installation nut is finally tightened.

How much does the service cost and where can I order it?

Some trade organizations offer free installation of a filter purchased from them.

If Aquaphor was purchased on the market or on the Internet, then most likely you will need to independently look for a company that provides installation services for this type of product.

To perform such work, it is best to contact large organizations that will carry out the work with a guarantee.

The price of the filter installation service will be about 1,700 rubles. For example, to perform work in Moscow, you can contact here. On this site you can order the service online. The advantage of this method is that you can choose the most appropriate time to call a specialist.

Requirements for replacement cartridges

To replace contaminated cartridges, use consumables of the same brand with NSF and Quality certificates. The exact service life depends on the parameters of the water being purified and the frequency of filter activation; the manufacturer recommends changing cartridges at the following frequency:

Pre-filters – once every 3-6 months. (with a minimum set cost of 1100 rubles);
Reverse osmosis membranes - once every 24 to 36 months. (about 1750 rubles);
Carbon post filter – once every 6-12 months. (500 rubles).

Replacing cartridges should be entrusted to specialists; if this is not possible, work is carried out in the following sequence:

The general water supply tap and the system and storage tank taps are closed.
The drinking water tap opens and all remaining water in the filter is released.
The flasks are unscrewed with a special wrench to remove old cartridges, the emptied containers are washed and dried.
New filters are installed in clean and dry flasks, all elements are screwed on.
After installing the system in its old place, the drinking tap is opened for 5 minutes to flush the filter. The leaking liquid must not be used.

When installing a new membrane and post-filter, the same preparatory steps are carried out (the taps are turned off and the water is released). When replacing the membrane, one tube is disconnected, and two post-filters are disconnected. In such cases, more time is allocated for flushing the system (10-15 minutes).

Water purification stages

Water preparation is carried out in a pre-treatment unit. These are three different types of filters:

Coarse cleaning – retains particles of sand, rust and other mechanical suspensions.
Carbon - removes chlorine compounds, phenol and other dissolved substances.
Fine cleaning – captures particles up to one micron in size.

The prepared water seeps through the membrane into the storage tank. The concentrated brine, containing all the impurities, goes through the pipes into the sewer system.

Before use, another final stage of cleaning is provided: a carbon post-filter or mineralizer.

Possible malfunctions in the filter operation and ways to eliminate them

If all installation requirements are met and cartridges are replaced in a timely manner, problems rarely occur; most of them are associated with kinking of tubes and leaks.

Among the most common problems are:

Leaks that occur due to loss of tightness of pipe connections, lack of sealant, loose fittings and incorrect position of the drain clamp.
Reduced system performance due to kinked or bent tubing, or low inlet pressure. The problem can be solved by straightening the tubes or installing a high-pressure pump.
Tank filling is low . With normal inlet pressure, functioning or updated cartridges and membrane, this problem is explained by contamination or breakage of the drain clamp (after cleaning or replacing it, the tank is fully filled).
Noise at the drainage unit when opening the tap (goes away after reinstalling the clamp).

If the rough cleaning method is correctly selected and the parameters of the water in the pipeline comply with the data specified in the instructions, the reliability of the system primarily depends on the quality of installation.

Operation and Maintenance

When using the Aquaphor filter, you must adhere to the device maintenance rules recommended by the manufacturer.

First of all, you should strictly follow the schedule for replacing filter modules. The water pre-purification filter and the main purification element should be changed at least once every 2 months, the membrane and conditioning filters - once every 2 years.

In order to maximize the service life of the Aquaphor filter, quite high demands are also placed on water quality, for example:

Temperature: 5 - 38˚С.
Mineralization: less than 1500 mg/l.
Pressure: 3.5 – 6.5 atmospheres.

Reference! If the water has significant mineralization, you will need to install a coarse filter at the inlet of your home water supply system, and if the pressure is insufficient, you will need to purchase a pressure booster unit.

Alternative options

The main competitors in the market are the brands Aquaphor, Barrier, Geyser and Novaya Voda.

The top three models with similar parameters include:

Geyser Prestige-P (analogous to A-575 in terms of performance, from 11,700 rubles). This model includes a pump, but no mineralizer. Geyser Prestige-P wins in price, but is inferior in the minimum permissible pressure threshold (for the A-575 with a pump it is 1 atm, for this filter it is 2).
Aquaphor DWM-101S Morion with a capacity of 7.8 l/h, from 9,700 rubles. It benefits in price and compactness, but is sold without a storage tank; replaceable modules require more frequent replacement.
Barrier PROFI Osmo 100 Boost with increased productivity (up to 288 l/day), from 13,500 rubles. Supplied complete with pump and tap, but without storage tank. At first glance, the model has no disadvantages, but at a water pressure of over 4 atm. it should not be used. The service life of filter modules is limited to 5000 liters; they often need to be replaced.

Possible difficulties

Often after starting the system there is cloudy water. If this happens for a short time, there is no need to worry.

The system has drained the muddy water, now it will be exceptionally clean.

Moreover, at this time it may have a bitter taste . It is provided by a substance for removing hardness salts, which is contained in the cartridge.

After a short time, this taste should disappear. Just drain the water. A common problem is when water does not flow. This may be due to:

Irregularities in the operation of the storage tank;
Self-locking of the line due to contamination of the replaceable filter elements.

In the first case, the cause may be a broken membrane. Unfortunately, it cannot be replaced. You will have to purchase a new cartridge.

Perhaps the reason is pressure. It should be maintained at a level of 0.4 to 0.5 Atm. If it is below the specified parameter, the water is simply not pushed out to the tap. If higher, its volume in the tank is significantly reduced.

If the replacement filter elements are dirty, first check the lower pre-cleaning cartridges. They suffer most often. To replace them, close the inlet valve. Relieve the pressure by opening the water tap. Then use an adjustable wrench to unscrew the first pre-cleaning flask. Based on the condition and color of the cartridge, you will immediately understand how clogged it is .

Important! When tightening the cartridge after replacement, pay attention to the O-ring. It must be in a special recess.

At the slightest misalignment, this will lead to a violation of the tightness and leaks in the future.

Reviews

Over 80% of users using Yandex.Market resources evaluate these products positively; the A-550 STD filter is recognized as the most popular and proven model.

The clear advantages of the systems include:

compactness;
noticeable softening of water;
absence of extraneous noise;
availability of clear instructions;
reliability of components.

Comments on other popular review sites are mostly positive (the emphasis is on compactness, operating efficiency and quality of components), but the cost of the systems is considered by most to be overpriced .

Opinions on forums and other resources are mixed; the work of Atoll filters with Chinese and Russian components is assessed negatively. Systems with original Pentec cartridges and Filmtec membranes do not cause any complaints; their only drawback is the price.

Choosing a place for installation to connect to the water supply

The installation location must comply with the following rules:

There should be enough space under the sink so that the body of the product can be installed without squeezing or squeezing.
The modules are placed in such a way that it is easy, if necessary, to replace the replacement cartridge of the device.
Shut-off elements that shut off the water supply to the filter must be located within direct reach.

Fulfilling these simple requirements will allow the product to operate without affecting functionality , and servicing the filter unit will not cause any difficulties.
