1. Presentation
Welcome to your reverse osmosis system of the STELLA series.
Thank you and congratulations. You have made a great choice in cho-
osing the reverse osmosis of the STELLA series.
The STELLA series systems are some of the best domestic appliances
for the improvement of the characteristics of water that you can find
on the market.
The quality of water in our environment is getting worse every day.
The reality of this is what has driven us to design and manufacture this
domestic osmosis system in order to provide you with a water of the
highest quality.
Your STELLA series system provides you with different benefits and
advantages:
It is very important to read
and keep this manual.
If you have any questions • It is a physical system that does not use or add chemical products
regarding the use or main- to the water.

2. Introduction
The STELLA series reverse osmosis systems provide you with a better
quality of life.
Since the diameter of the membrane pores is less than 0.0001 mi-
crons, only water molecules and a certain amount of minerals (sodium,
potassium, calcium, magnesium, etc.) are able to get through.

The domestic systems of the STELLA series, ARE NOT POTABLE WATER
SYSTEMS. If water to be treated comes from a public water supply (and
as such complies with the legislation in force), the domestic systems of
the STELLA series, significantly improve the quality of water.
Should the water to be treated not come from a public water supply, that
is, from an unknown source, a physical-chemical and bacterial analysis
of the water shall be necessary, with the aim of ensuring its proper puri-
fication applying the proper techniques and systems appropriate to each
case, PRIOR TO THE INSTALLATION of the system. Contact your distribu-
tor in order to obtain advice about the most appropriate treatment for you.
contact your distributor so that they can recommend the most appro-
priate pre-treatment for you, and as such ensure the proper operation
of the system, so as to avoid damage to components and guarantee
the quality of supplied water.
• Under no circumstances
must the system be installed
on the outside.
• The system should not be
installed next to a heat source
or where it receives a direct flow
of hot air (dryer, refrigerator, etc.)
• On your return connect the power supply, open the inlet valve and
empty the tank twice before consuming water (D only PUMP model,

Then, the pump pushes water towards the membrane, in the PUMP
model. The water pressure against the membrane makes the reverse
osmosis process possible. In the SO , model, the pressure exerted
on the membrane comes from the own network. On one side, os-
motised water produced by membranes is stored in the tank. When
the faucet of the system is turned on, the stored water inside the tank
goes through a carbon post-filter, whose aim is to remove all odours
and tastes that water may have retained. On the other side, water
with an excess of salts and other non desired substances is diverted
to the drain.
