The AquaCare BasiTechTM reverse osmosis control realizes three functions:
- Level control
The AquaCare BasiTechTM control fill up pressure-less tanks automatically. The inlet valve is mounted between pre-filtration and R.O. module. It is very easy with the delivered push fit fittings. The automatic flushing valve takes over the function of the manual flushing valve of the R.O. unit. Two sensors - a minimum and a maximum level switch - are mounted in the pressure-less tank. The suitable holder is available at AquaCare. After installing the above components the R.O. unit is able to work automatically. - If the water level is falling below the minimum sensor the R.O. units begins to produce water. If the maximum level switch is reached it stops. The distance between minimum and maximum sensor should be as large as possible to ensure best water quality. Only aquaria with a size of minimum 1000 liters may filled up directly - for such occasions change the minimum sensor against a unit without moving parts. Fill up smaller aquaria only with the BasiTechTM level control.
- Automatically flushing
To conserve the sensitive R.O. membrane and to ensure best water quality the BasiTechTM R.O. control realizes a flushing function. During start and stop and every 30 minutes the flushing valve opens for 30 seconds to flush out unwanted substances.
- Standby flushing
If the R.O. unit is on standby for a longer time the water inside the unit begins to rot. To prevent this situation the BasiTechTM R.O. control flushes for 30 seconds if the R.O. unit is not producing water for longer than 24 hours.
You can select, if the controller should be installed by AquaCare on the mounting plate of the RO unit.
The clean water tank, which is filled by the reverse osmosis, can be additionally secured against overflowing by connecting the clean water outlet to a float valve (see accessories). The float valve must be mounted above the maximum switch of the reverse osmosis control. Should the control fail and produce by accident, the water will rise above the maximum level in the tank until the float of the float valve is raised. No further permeate will flow; the tank will not overflow. The reverse osmosis system suffers no damage - but wastewater is produced.
Attention! On RO unit fixed controller may change the wide of the RO unit. Custom-made products are excluded from conversion rights.
