Overview of the PURA Quick Change UF System’s Components
Manifold assembly
The manifold assembly serves as the functional hub of the PURA
system by directing the flow through each of the system’s main
components.
Sediment Prefilters
The sediment prefilters screen out particulate material, such as dirt,
sand, or rust, which may clog the ultrafiltration membrane.
Ultrafiltration Membrane
The Ultrafiltration Membrane (3) mechanically removes microscopic
impurities. It consists of a semipermeable membrane wound around a
perforated tube. Product water diffuses through the membrane while
impurities become trapped in the membrane.
The UF membrane featured in the PURA system offers exceptional
contaminant adsorption, application versatility, and long life.
The sediment prefilters must be maintained properly to prevent
clogging and premature failure of the UF membrane.
Note: This preservative must be flushed from membrane before use.
If ingested it may cause irritation of the gastrointestinal tract, colic,
diarrhea, or other similar symptoms. The manufacturer recommends
discarding all the product water for at least one hour of operation
before drinking or use in food preparations. WaterGroup highly
recommends discarding the product water for a full 24 hours to
flush the preservative and to properly hydrate the membrane for
maximum performance.
activated Carbon Polishing Filter
The activated carbon polishing filter (4) adsorbs any residual tastes and odors just before the water is delivered through
the faucet.
Dispenser Faucet
The PURA faucet (5) allows the product water to be drawn from the system with a simple rotation of the handle.
Note: Cleanliness is essential in the Preparation procedure. Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly before handling
filters. The use of surgical gloves is strongly recommended.
