AQVA AHTI M reverse osmosis system for point of entry purification

AQVA AHTI M Reverse Osmosis System for Drinking Water Purification

The AQVA AHTI M reverse osmosis system is the most effective solution for purifying well or lake water into potable drinking water, producing up to 150 liters of clean water per hour.

Benefits:

• Produces crystal-clear, high-quality drinking water

• Scalable water production, with the option to double output by adding a second reverse osmosis membrane

• Removes up to 99% of impurities

• Easy to use and maintain, ideal for seasonal cottage use

• Meets the water consumption needs of an average Finnish household

• Stores purified water in a 185-liter tank, serving as a buffer during peak usage

• Filters challenging contaminants, including fluoride, uranium, blue-green algae, chloride, and arsenic

• Multi-stage pre- and post-filtration for optimal water quality

• Filters typically require replacement only once a year

Purification Methods:

• XL-sized activated carbon filter: Removes solids, organic compounds, chlorine, industrial chemicals, and gaseous impurities like hydrogen sulfide and radon.

• XL-sized polyphosphate filter: Protects the system and extends membrane lifespan by converting impurities like limescale into a form that prevents buildup.

• Large reverse osmosis membrane: The core of the system, it filters impurities with high efficiency, allowing only pure water to pass through while flushing contaminants to the drain.

• Post-filter: Ensures hygienic water quality with a combination of fibrous activated carbon and 0.1 µm ultrafiltration, enhancing removal of gaseous impurities.

• Remineralization filter: Adds calcium to the water, raising pH for a fresher, more natural taste.

Removes from Water:

• Solid particles

• Turbidity and color

• Limescale

• Metals (e.g., iron, manganese)

• Heavy metals (e.g., lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic*)

• Salts (e.g., chloride**, sodium**, sulfates, nitrates, nitrites)

• Organic compounds (e.g., pesticides, pharmaceutical residues, hormones)

• Microbiological contaminants (e.g., bacteria, viruses, molds)

• Chlorine and chlorinated compounds

• Uranium

• Gaseous impurities (e.g., radon***, hydrogen sulfide) *Arsenic is typically removed with over 85% efficiency, though performance may vary in some cases.
  

  **Salts (sodium and chloride) are removed at approximately 85% in freshwater systems.
  

  ***If radon is present, the activated carbon filter may act as a radiation source; see the installation manual for details.

Technical Specifications:

• Pre-filter feed water connection: 1" female thread

• Purified water tank outlet: 3/4" female three-way valve

• Distribution pump inlet/outlet: 1" male thread

• Remineralization filter to distribution: 1" female thread

• Space requirements: Approximately 200 x 150 cm; largest component (water tank) measures H91 x W61 x D40 cm

• Components can be placed flexibly, not requiring a single location

• Install in a space where potential leaks or drips will not cause damage

• Flush water production: Typically 2–3 liters per 1 liter of purified water, adjustable via the flush water meter

• Water production: Up to 150 liters per hour (varies with water quality and pressure)

• See the "Downloads" tab for detailed installation and operation manuals

System Requirements:

• Consistent feed pressure: 2–10 bar (below 3 bar may slow water production; higher pressure increases output)

• Recommended feed water temperature: 4–30°C (lower temperatures slow production but improve purification; warmer water has the opposite effect)

• Recommended feed water TDS: Below 1500 mg/L (higher TDS reduces production speed)

• Refer to the installation and operation manuals in the "Downloads" tab for additional details

Winter Storage:

The system must not freeze with water inside. For use in unheated locations, follow the winter storage procedures outlined in the installation and operation manual. When restarting in spring, perform an extended flush as per the manual, after which the water is ready for normal use.
