Installation

Unpack and verify all components. Install in a clean, dry, accessible location with proper drainage.

  1. Mounting: Secure unit to wall using provided brackets at recommended height (1-1.5m from floor).
  2. Water Connection: Connect inlet to main water supply using 1/2" food-grade tubing. Install shut-off valve upstream.
  3. Drain Connection: Attach drain line to wastewater outlet with air gap to prevent backflow.
  4. Product Water Outlet: Connect to distribution system using 3/8" tubing.
  5. Electrical Connection: Connect to dedicated 220-240V circuit with proper grounding.

WARNING! System contains high-pressure components. Ensure all connections are secure before pressurizing. Use two people for lifting during installation.

First-Time Setup

Power on system; follow initialization sequence on display.

  1. System Priming: Open inlet valve slowly to fill system. Allow air to purge through drain line.
  2. Initial Calibration: Navigate to SETUP menu to calibrate sensors using provided calibration solutions.
  3. Parameter Configuration: Set desired water quality thresholds (TDS, pH), backwash frequency, and alarm limits.
  4. Network Setup: Configure remote monitoring if required (IP address, communication protocol).
  5. Test Run: Run system for 30 minutes, check for leaks and verify all parameters are within normal range.

CAUTION! Do not consume water during first 24 hours of operation as system stabilizes. Ensure proper ventilation around electrical components.

Specifications

Controls and Settings

Access control interface via touchscreen or remote connection. Front Panel: POWER, MENU, BACK, ENTER, ALARM RESET.

Touchscreen Interface: Home screen shows real-time parameters. Main menu includes: OPERATION, MAINTENANCE, SETTINGS, ALARMS, DATA LOG.

Operation Settings: Manual/Auto mode, Backwash schedule, Production rate. Maintenance: Filter replacement counters, Sensor calibration, System diagnostics. Settings: Language (default ENGLISH), Units (metric/imperial), Communication parameters, User access levels (Operator, Technician, Administrator). Alarms: Configure thresholds for each parameter, Notification methods (local, remote, SMS).

Connecting Peripheral Devices

Remote Monitoring: Ethernet or RS-485 port. External Alarms: Dry contact outputs for building management systems. Water Quality Sampling: Dedicated sampling port with valve.

  1. Ensure system is powered off before making connections.
  2. Use shielded cables for communication lines in electrically noisy environments.
  3. Configure communication parameters in SETTINGS menu to match peripheral device requirements.
  4. Test communication after connection using diagnostic tools in menu.

Tip: Label all connections for future maintenance. Keep communication cables away from power lines.

Operating Procedures

Normal Operation: System runs automatically once configured.

  1. Startup: Press POWER button. System performs self-check before entering operational mode.
  2. Monitoring: Check display for real-time parameters. Green indicators show normal operation.
  3. Manual Override: Use MANUAL mode for testing or specific operations.
  4. Backwash Cycle: Automatic every 72 hours or when pressure differential triggers. Manual initiation available.
  5. Data Access: View historical data through DATA LOG menu. Export via USB or network.
  6. Alarm Response: Acknowledge alarms via ALARM RESET after addressing root cause.
  7. Shutdown: Press and hold POWER for 3 seconds for normal shutdown. Use emergency stop in case of leaks.

WARNING! Do not bypass safety interlocks. Always investigate alarms promptly. Keep area around unit clear for access.

Safety Features

Leak Detection: Automatic shutdown on moisture sensor activation. Pressure Relief: Built-in valve prevents over-pressurization. Electrical Protection: Ground fault circuit interrupter, surge protection, thermal overload. Water Quality Protection: Automatic diversion to drain if quality thresholds exceeded. Access Control: Password protection for critical settings (default: 0000 for operator, 9999 for administrator).

Maintenance & Cleaning

Power off and isolate water supply before maintenance. Monthly: Check for leaks, clean external surfaces, verify sensor readings. Quarterly: Calibrate sensors using standard solutions. Annually: Replace pre-filters (stages 1-2). Bi-annually: Replace RO membrane (stage 3), UV lamp (stage 5). As needed: Clean mineralizer media (stage 4) based on water usage.

CAUTION! Use only Vekooto-approved replacement parts. Do not use chemical cleaners on sensors. Wear appropriate PPE during maintenance.

Troubleshooting

SymptomPossible CauseCorrective Action
No power to unitCircuit breaker, power cordCheck circuit breaker; verify power cord connection; test outlet.
Low water productionClogged filters, low pressureCheck filter status; verify inlet pressure >40 PSI; initiate manual backwash.
Poor water quality alarmMembrane failure, sensor driftTest TDS of product water; calibrate sensors; check membrane age.
Leak detection alarmActual leak, false positiveInspect all connections; dry moisture sensor; reset after repair.
Communication failureCable, settings, networkCheck cable connections; verify IP/Modbus settings; test with laptop.
Unusual noiseAir in system, pump issuePurge air through drain; check pump mounting; inspect for cavitation.

Factory Reset: Settings > System > Factory Reset (requires administrator password).
