USER’S MANUAL
Aqualife Products® (Australia) Pty Ltd
Steam Sterilisor Water System
Thank you very much for selecting AQUALIFE. In order to bring the best use of
your system, please read the users manual carefully before installation and follow
the regulations.
Attention
This is a scientific instrument. Please ensure that only Aqualife® approved replacement
components are used. Inferior prefiltration, polishing filters and membranes may result in reduced
water quality and reduced system peformance. Please note that components designed for
home water treatment reverse osmosis system are NOT suitable for use in this system.
AQUACLAVE Manual Flushing Membrane System
ATTENTION
This AquaClave® water treatment system has been specifically
engineered to supply feed water to any steam sterilising equipment.
The product water is not recommended for human consumption.
Drinking water solutions are also available from Aqualife Products
(Australia) Pty Ltd.
IMPORTANT
The system has been engineered to operate within a controlled
environment. Where high water pressure risks exist above 860 Kpa
(125 psi) a 600 Kpa pressure limiting valve must be installed to
avoid nulliying the warranty.
Australian Plumbing Industry regulations require the installation
of a dualcheck valve and this is a plumbers responsibility.

What is reverse osmosis?
Reverse osmosis was originally designed to make sea water drinkable for the
navy.
Reverse osmosis is the reversal of the natural flow of osmosis. In a water
purification system, the goal is not to dilute the salt solution, but to separate
the pure water from the dissolved salts and other contaminants. When the
natural osmotic flow is reversed, water from the salt solution is forced to pass
through the membrane in the opposite direction by application of pressure,
thus the term REVERSE OSMOSIS. Through this process, we are able to
produce pure water by screening out the salts and other contaminants.

Cartridge Filters Filter Description Service Life
Stage 1
Pretreatment
This cartridge commences the treatment
process by removing suspended solids
such as dirt and rust. The other important
function is to reduce the chlorine and
organic content of the feed water
6 Months
Stage 2
Pretreatment
The purpose of this high performance
carbon filter is to further remove free
chlorine and organic content of the water.
It completes the 2 stage pretreatment of
the feed water supply.
6 Months
Stage 3
RO TFC Membrane
This specifically engineered low volume
production capacity with high rejection
TFC membrane is manufactured in the
USA. The membrane removes
approximately 99.99% of all dissolved
minerals and salts present in the feed
water supply. Production and performance
will be influenced by the chemical analysis
of the water supply.

Stage 4
Post Carbon Filter
Organic Terminator
NSF approved. This post membrane
carbon filter is designed to remove
organic residue. It removes residual
impurities and odors from the tank and
provides a finer conditioning of pure
water.

This final process addresses all non-
organic residue leaving a quality of water

A. With everything connected, SLOWLY TURN ON THE WATER AND
CHECK FOR LEAKS.
B. Make sure the storage tank shut-off valve is “OFF”. Open the sink top
faucet.
C. Within a few minutes (up to 15) the water will start to run from the faucet
slowly.
D. Let the water run for at least 30 minutes. This flushes the carbon filters
on first time use. CLOSE FAUCET AND AGAIN CHECK FOR LEAKS.
E. After initial flushing, open the shut-off valve on the tank and close the
sink top faucet.
F. Tank will now be full of water (usually 5 to 6 hours). Open the sink top
faucet and drain all water until the storage tank is empty and there is
only a small flow from the sink top faucet.
***DO NOT USE FIRST TANK OF WATER.***
G. Close the sink top faucet. The system is now ready for use.
H. Change filters regularly every 6 months and have the membrane
checked annually.
Caution
1. Do not use hot water (over 45°C)
2. Do not allow the system to freeze
3. Switch off electricity and water source if away for more than
5 days, and drain the tank

How to apply the manual-flushing function
12
When you need to apply this function, simply turn manual flushing switch on.
Flushing for 30 seconds then turn switch back.
Suggestion for applying the manual flushing function
We suggest you apply the manual flushing function when:
A. This is the first time you start to use the AquaClave system.
B. When it is time to change filters.
Applying the manual flushing function regularly (once a week) is also
recommended.
*Caution!
Keep the system running when manual flushing function is on.
Have the manual flushing function on for 30 seconds.
Do remember to turn the manual flushing switch back after completing the
flushing.

FAQ
13
Q: What is the guarantee on the AquaClave® RO P5
system?
The AquaClave® RO P5 system (excluding filters) is guaranteed for 1
year for material and workmanship. All defective parts will be replaced
free within the first year under natural breakdown. The membrane has
one year pro-rated guarantee.
Q: What factors affect the quantity and the quality of the
water production?
There are four major variables to consider:
1. Pressure - The greater the water pressure, the better the water
quantity and quality produced. Water pressure of 60 PSI is ideal.
2. Temperature - 23°C is the ideal water temperature for R.O. 5°C
water will cause the production of R.O. water to fall to half of that
at 23°C. The maximum water temperature recommended is 27°C.
3. Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) - The higher the amount of dissolved
contaminants in the water, the lower the quantity of water produced.
A high level of TOTAL DISSOLVED SOLIDS can be overcome
with additional water pressure.
4. Membrane - Different membranes have different characteristics.
Some produce more water than others; some have better
contaminant rejection capabiltiies; some have greater resistance
to chemical abrasion. For a longer life system include a carefully
selected low production, high rejection membrane. The Thin Film
Composite (TFC) membrane combines the best of these
characteristics and is considered the finest membrane in the world.
Q: Can the AquaClave® system be connected to an extra
faucet?
No. This system is specifically engineered for use in the steam
sterilisation process.
