If the equipment is used when the drain is blocked, this could
cause backflow of reject water into the equipment and conta
-
mination to enter.
The reject water drainage pipe should never be bloc-
ked!
When the reject water drainage pipe is blocked, this could
lead to high concentrations of TDS, clogging of the mem-
brane or malfunctioning of the MIAWA equipment.
Discard the lamp at the specific collection points for was
-
te containing mercury, and not with the normal domestic
waste. For more information, contact your local waste dis-
posal service.
The inlet temperature cannot exceed 38°C or be
lower than 5°C!
In the inlet temperature exceeds 38°C or is lower than 5°C,
this could damage the reverse osmosis membrane and
cause malfunctioning of the equipment.
Do not use this equipment outdoors!
If the equipment is used outdoors, there may be accelera-
ted ageing of equipment pipes and parts, which could cau-
se leakage or machine malfunction.
Do not use the equipment under direct sunlight!
If the equipment is placed in direct sunlight for a period, it could
become a breeding ground for microorganisms which would
reduce water quality as they can contaminate different parts
inside the machine.

6. Main functions
The MIAWA water filtering process consists of:
5.
The fifth stage is ultraviolet hygienisation
:
This renders the water hygienic using ultravio-
let light. It does not add any chemicals, odour or
taste to the treated water.
4.
The fourth stage is a re-mineralisation post-filter
:
This furnishes the right amount of minerals to
the outlet water, yielding a non-corrosive water
with ideal organoleptic properties. It adjusts the
pH of the permeate and regulates the levels of
calcium and magnesium.
2.
The second stage is an encapsulated GAC filter:
It can effectively absorb chlorine, disinfectant sub-
products, odours, colours and other substances.
3.
The third stage is the 150 GPD RO membrane:
This can effectively eliminate bacteria, viruses,
heavy metals, pesticide wastes and other harm-
ful substances in the water.
1.
The first stage is an encapsulated 5-micron se
-
diment filter:
It can effectively filter out rust, sand, other larger
particles and solid impurities in the water.

10. Use of the equipment
Preparation prior to use
- Install the equipment as set out in the previous point.
- Connect the equipment; plug the transformer intake to the mains socket of the installation.
- Open the water valve and ensure that the equipment starts to produce osmotised water.
From this moment, MIAWA will supply with water of guaranteed quality.
Conditions of use
•
This equipment requires an appropriate supply of water. Should the installation set up not meet certain
minimum standards this could cause malfunctioning.
• Miawa is fitted with an automatic washing system (flushing), programmed to work for 1.5 minutes every 6
hours. (The user can modify this parameter using the app)*
• The UV light comes on for 1 minute every 6 hours. (The user can modify this parameter using the app)*
*Only user number 3 (distributor)
Use of the equipment
The tap on the equipment itself activates the internal mechanisms when opened to provide the user with the
water filtered up to that moment.
The internal functioning of the equipment is:
a
. Through the inlet electrovalve, the mains water enters the equipment. This is activated when the tank level
gauge is at minimum or when we actuate the tap.
b
. The water enters the filter assembly: sediment; booster pump (if this is installed), activated carbon and
osmosis membrane.
c
. The waste water from the membrane is sent to the drain.
d
. The permeate water from the membrane passes through a re-mineralisation post-filter for subsequent sto
-
rage in the tank.
e
. The user, by means of the tap, opens the outlet valve, activating the permeate pump to extract the accumulated
water. As it leaves, the conductivity is measured to give a reading of the water quality.
For reasons of hygiene, the osmosis membrane contains chemical preservatives. This means that
the first water produced cannot be used, and therefore it
is very important to empty the first two
tankfuls
, by operating the tap until the pump stops (for each emptying operation).

11. Maintenance
The MIAWA reverse osmosis equipment requires little maintenance:
Components such as the sediment pre-filter, activated carbon filter, reverse osmosis membrane and the re-mi
-
neralisation post-filter are subject to wear and have a limited duration. Their lifespans depend on local circum
-
stances, as the water of each region has its own composition. As guidance, we now show the duration of the
cited components:
• Sediment pre-filter: 12 months (depending on inlet water)
• Activated carbon filter: 12 months (depending on inlet water)
• Reverse osmosis membrane: 3-5 years (depending on inlet water)
• Re-mineralisation post-filter: 2 years
• UV lamp: 7000 hours
The duration of the elements shown is determined by certain parameters under laboratory conditions. Excessi-
ve variation in these parameters could shorten the lifespan of these components, as could the use of non-ori-
ginal spare parts and consumables.
To guarantee hygiene, the equipment needs to be sanitised on a regular basis, which involves cleaning the
elements that make up the filtering system.
Attention:
even when the valve is closed, the filter container vessels still contain a significant
amount of water. Have a container to hand when emptying to avoid water spillage.
Note:
if you replace the pre-filter or the post-filter, it is not imperative to replace the rest. If you replace
the reverse osmosis membrane, then the sediment pre-filter, the activated carbon filter, and the re-mate
-
rialisation post-filter should also be replaced.
