This document describes the Bluevua Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System, a countertop water purification system designed to provide easy access to clean water without the need for plumbing or installation.

Function Description

The Bluevua ROPOT Lite system utilizes reverse osmosis (RO) technology to filter tap water, removing various contaminants and providing purified drinking water. The system is designed for user-friendly operation with features like a control panel for water-making, volume selection, and filter status indication. It also includes a unique fruit-infusing capability and hydration reminders. The RO process involves multiple stages of filtration to ensure high-quality water.

Important Technical Specifications

Product Model: RO100ROPOT-Lite-Bluevua
Product Size (LWH): 248mm * 340mm * 357mm
Input Water Pressure: 0~30 PSI / 0~0.2 MPa
Input Water Temperature: 41~100°F / 5~38°C
Input Water Requirement: Tap Water
Pure Water Rate: 0.26L Per Minute / 100 Gallon Per Day (measured under 30PSI and 25°C; actual rate may fluctuate with water pressure and temperature)
Power Specifications: Input 100~240V AC, Output 24V DC; 2.0A
Filtration Stages: 6-in-1 filter assembly
1. 5 Micron Polypropylene Fabric: Removes larger particles like silt, sand, rust, and dirt.
2. Coconut Shell Activated Carbon (CTO): Absorbs chlorine and chloramine.
3. Food Grade RO Antiscalant: Eliminates mineral scale to prevent scaling and fouling of the RO membrane.
4. 1 Micron Polypropylene Fabric: Removes smaller particles to further protect and extend the lifetime of the RO membrane.
5. Reverse Osmosis Membrane: Removes lead, arsenic, bacteria, viruses, fluoride, pesticides, and other harmful contaminants.
6. Post Carbon Filter: Improves water taste for pure, great-tasting drinking water.
TDS Reduction: Typically 90-95% reduction of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). Output TDS is subject to raw water quality, weather, and temperature. For example, with raw water TDS of 300, filtered water TDS will be around 15-30.
pH of RO Water: Filtered water pH can drop from 7 to 6.2 due to CO2 absorption.

Usage Features

Easy Setup: The system requires minimal setup, involving washing the water tank and carafe, placing the machine on a stable surface, and plugging it in.
Flushing Process: Before first use, the system requires 4 flushing cycles to remove protective liquid and activated carbon particles from the new filter. Water is not drinkable during this process. The Flush button lights up during flushing, and other control panel functions are unlocked after 4 cycles.
Control Panel: Features a real-time filtered water quality indicator (TDS/ppm), filter life indicator, water volume indicator, water volume button (0.65L half or 1.2L full), manual flush button, and water-making button.
Water Filtering:
- Fill the raw water tank up to the MAX line with tap water.
- Select desired water volume (0.65L or 1.2L) using the Volume button.
- Touch the water-making button to start filtering.
- The system produces pure water into the carafe and diverts RO reject water to the back tank.
Waste Water Management: The RO reject water in the back tank should not be reused for filtering as it contains concentrated contaminants. It is recommended to discard this water after each cycle to extend service life and prevent damage to the machine and filters. This water can be used for watering plants or mopping.
Fruit-Infused Water: The system includes a high borosilicate glass infuser basket for making fruit-infused water. The cap can be rotated counter-clockwise to open and clockwise to close.
Hydration Reminders: An intuitive timeline (8 AM to 6 PM) helps users track their recommended water intake, encouraging them to refill and drink water hourly.
Error Codes:
- E1: Indicates continuous filtering for more than 8 minutes, suggesting a system stop.
- E2: Indicates the system does not detect the floating ball or the water level is below the cylinder in the tank, leading to a system stop.
Inactive Use: If the machine is inactive for more than 24 hours, pour out any remaining water and turn off the power supply. For long trips, store the filter in the refrigerator and the unit in a cool, dry place to prevent microbial growth. Discard the first round of filtered water upon return.

Maintenance Features

Filter Replacement Cycle: The MAX Six-In-One Filter should be replaced every 12 months. Actual lifetime may vary based on input water quality, season, and running time. The filter life indicator on the control panel will remind users when replacement is due.
Filter Replacement Steps:
1. Unplug the unit and lift the filter housing cover.
2. Twist the expired filter counter-clockwise and pull it out.
3. Push down and twist the new filter clockwise to insert it.
4. Place the filter housing cover back and plug in the power supply.
5. Enter filter reset mode by long-pressing the Flush button and water-making button simultaneously for 5 seconds.
6. Flush the new filter 4 times as per initial setup instructions to reset the replacement cycle.
Automatic Backflushing: The system automatically backflushes for 30 seconds in several scenarios:
1. When the power is turned on.
2. Before every filtration cycle.
3. After every filtration cycle.
4. If there has been no filtering for more than 24 hours.
Manual Backflushing: Users can manually trigger a 30-second backflushing cycle by touching the Flush button. Ensure sufficient water in the tank for flushing.
Descaling: Limescale buildup can disrupt water flow. Descaling is recommended when slow water flow is observed.
- DIY Solutions: 50/50 white vinegar and water, 50/50 lemon juice and water, or 2 tablespoons of citric acid per quart of water.
- Descaling Process:
  1. Mix the solution in the water tank and place it on the base.
  2. Select 1.2L volume and start a filtration cycle.
  3. Turn off the system midway and let it soak for an hour.
  4. Pour out the descaling solution. Repeat if buildup is heavy.
  5. Run three filtration cycles with tap water to rinse the system and remove any residual odor or taste. Repeat until water tastes clean.
Troubleshooting: The manual provides solutions for common issues such as the system not working, E1/E2 errors, slow pure water flow, TDS number out of range, booster pump noise, inaccurate water volume, and water leakage. Solutions often involve checking water levels, filter connection, or performing flushing/descaling.

Safety Precautions

Avoid installing under direct sunlight or outdoors.
Do not expose to temperatures below 0°C.
Do not store flammable items near the machine.
In case of machine breakdown, cut off water and power supply quickly.
Keep out of reach of children; do not let children operate the machine.
Do not disassemble the machine to prevent water leakage and damage.
Ensure water source temperature is between 5-38°C.
Use only accessories and filter cartridges from Bluevua for smooth operation.
