Features for Aristo Water Purifier 

1. RO+UV+UF / RO+UV / RO+UF technology
   • The Blue Star Aristo Water Purifier is available in RO+UV+UF / RO+UV / RO+UF variant to provide you with safe and healthy purified water. 
   • Reverse Osmosis (RO) is a water purification technique that uses a semi-permeable membrane to remove ions, molecules, suspended particles, microbes and dissolved impurities from drinking water. Tap water containing dissolved mineral salts and contaminants is passed through the RO membrane under pressure to filter out contaminants and reduce the hardness of the water. 
   • Ultra Violet (UV) light safeguards against the microbiological impurities present in the water. UV purification deactivates the protozoa, bacteria and viruses by damaging the genetic code, ensuring they cannot reproduce further. 
   • Ultra Filtration (UF) is  a  separation process that uses a  semi-permeable membrane. UF membrane filters out physical impurities as well as harmful microbes like bacteria and cysts from drinking water. 
2. Multi-stage purification
   The Blue Star Aristo Water Purifier has multi-stage purification, ensuring pure drinking water. 
   1. Stage 1: External Pre-Filter

Blue Star Aristo Water Purifier Filter Installation

Pre-installation requisites

1. 230V single phase AC connection not more than 1.5 metres away from the point of installation of purifier. The wire length supplied with the system is 1.5 metres.
2. Input water supply not more than 2 metres away.
3. Drain for rejected water not more than 2 metres away.
4. Countertop or wall hanging space as per dimensions of the purifier.
5. Input water pressure in the range of 4 to 30 psi.

DOs and DON’Ts

1. Do not install the unit at the following places:
   • Near fire or heater 
   • Near flammable material 
   • In front of any cooling/heating device A place exposed to rain and snow A place exposed to direct sunlight 
   • Wet place 
   • Near chemicals (volatile material, organic solvent, etc.) 
   • A place below 0°C or a place with the possibility of dropping below 0°C A place above 40°C or a place with the possibility of rising above 40°C 
2. Use input water in the following parameter range only:
   • Water pressure: 4 – 30 psi 
   • Water temperature: 5 – 40°C 
   • pH: 6.5 – 8.5 
     When using water out of above range, discuss with Blue Star since performance may be impacted. 
3. When transporting the unit, do not tilt it over 45°.
4. During installation, adjust the level of the unit using a level gauge. Install the unit at a place where the surface is flat.
5. When connecting the tube, ensure that it is not bent or pressed down by heavy objects.
6. Adjust the tubes so that drain water does not splash around the area.
7. If the input water pressure is lower than 4 psi, an external booster pump needs to be installed. If the input water pressure is higher than 30 psi, an external pressure reducing valve needs to be installed. Blue Star’s or its authorised dealer’s service personnel will install these at additional costs.

Installation procedure

Blue Star’s or its authorised dealer’s service personnel will attend to the installation of the unit. However, here is the installation procedure for the record: 

1. Choose the installation site keeping in mind the pointers in the earlier section.
2. It is necessary to flush all filters by removing the tubing on the back of each filter and clean the filter with the source water for about ten minutes.
3. To install the RO membrane, remove the membrane-housing cap anticlockwise. Install the membrane by carefully pushing the spigot end into the socket at the far end of the housing until completely in and close the membrane-housing cap.
4. Connect the source water valve and the water inlet with a tube.
5. Connect another tube to the drain hole of the unit and then run the other end of the drain tube into the drainage. Ensure that the drain tube is lower than the level of the installed unit.
6. Mount your unit on the wall or place it on the floor.
7. Connect the power cord of the voltage rating that matches with that on the rating plate.
8. Confirm that water runs into the unit properly and that there are no leakages at any connection.
9. Fill-up the tank and drain the pure water completely, twice. This flushes the membrane and filters the tank for the first-time use.

Blue Star Operation

Indicators

• Purification On: Glows blue when the purification process is ON.
• Tank Full: Glows blue when the storage tank is completely  filled with purified water. 
• Low Pressure Alert: Glows red when the input water supply pressure is lower than specified. 

Water Dispensing Method

• Dispensing purified water
  Push the child lock button and then push the water dispensing lever with cup or drinkware to dispense water.
• Continuous dispensing
  Push the child lock button and then lift up the water dispensing lever and fix it. The water will be dispensed continuously.

Caution Note: Do not pull out the water dispensing lever severely to avoid damage or breakage. 

DOs and DON’Ts

1. Keep the water filtration system away from direct sunlight. The sun’s heat may deform non-metallic parts and damage the electronics. It may lead to discolouration or fading of plastic parts. 
2. In case the unit is not used for over 4 days, shut off the source water valve and pull out the power plug and drain the stored water completely. 
3. Periodical filter replacement is a prerequisite for getting pure water. Depending on usage and poor input water quality the performance of filters deteriorates. Therefore, do not forget to get the filters replaced by Blue Star’s or its authorised dealer’s service personnel. 
4. Do not repair, disassemble or modify any part of filtration system on your own. Fire and/or electric shock may occur as a result. For repair, call Blue Star’s or its authorised dealer’s service personnel. 
5. When shifting to another house, get the unit inspected and packed by Blue Star’s or its authorised dealer’s service personnel. This will not only keep the unit safe while shifting but is also necessary for continuation of warranty. The packing charges will be as per prevailing rates.
