Technical data for the RO device
The water purification process removes the hardness from raw water. Hard-
ness constituents are the portion of calcium and magnesium ions in the water.
The raw water is the untreated drinking water that is connected to the water
inlet.
Abbreviation for reverse osmosis.
This is "pure water" that has been largely desalinated by reverse osmosis.
The characteristic value is the electric conductivity in µS/cm.
This is waste water containing the salts and minerals that have been removed
from the raw water.
The "filter" of the device which is capable of desalinating the raw water by
high pressure and flow.
Total Dissolved Solids: Total content of dissolved salt, measured in mg/l.
Silt Density Index: The "Silt Density Index" is a measure for the level of inlet
water impurity.
The smaller the value of the electrical conductivity measured (in μS/cm) by the
RO device, the lower the salt concentration in the permeate product.
Abbreviation for "Installation and Operating Manual"
The ratio between the amount of pure water (permeate) produced and the
waste water produced. WCF stands for Water Conversion Factor.
The bypass settings on the filter head have no function for this filter cart-
ridge. The bypass setting of the bestdemin Plus must always be set to the 0
position for the device to function properly.
