Installation and Operation
Manual
Oxy-Vital COMPACT
Caution:
The faucet may not be
used to carry the dispenser.
Especially critical with the heavy granite execution - the front plate could
break!
1. Purpose
The
Oxy-Vital
®
dispensers are
usually connected to the domestic water supply. Inside the device the water is
filtered first and then enriched with medical grade oxygen gas from a presuure
tank.
The
Oxy-Vital
®
dispensers turn common water into a high-quality drink

Working
principle |
| |
|

|
| |
Prior to the oxygenation
process a high-tech 10"
filter cartridge
& capillary
membranes.
The
sintered carbon outer shell with a pore size of 0,5 mm
removes sediments, turbidity, oxidized iron, larger microorganisms and
almost all chlorine, bad tastes and odors, herbizides, pestizides, fungizides,
insektizides, drug residuals (espec. steroid hormons) as well as lead.
The inner cartridge of capillary membranes
has pores of only 0,15 mm (absolute!).
Due to the fact that the size of the smallest bacteria is 0,3 mm,
they
obviously cannot pass the filter cartridge.
The
filtered water flows then through a pressure regulator (8) to the oxygenating
chamber (7).
A check valve (5) prevents the oxygen gas from getting into the water supply
line.
Inside the
diffusor (7) the filtered water and the oxygen gas mix together. The pressure inside the
diffusor is approx. 3 bar.
Wenn no water is tapped then the system stays in balance and if all the
components and connections are tight, no oxygen gas can escape. A check valve (6)
prevents water from getting into the oxygen pressure tank.
4. Installation
Remove the cover
after unscrewing the 4 fixing bolts.
Make a tight connection
between the water supply and dispenser inlet (9). This is usually a PTFE or PE
tube (10) of 6/4 mm diameter.
In case the oxygen
pressure tank (2) is not yet mounted, do this now. Insert the tank into the
bracket on the bottom of the dispenser and connect the outlet of the tank to the
pressure reducer (3).
Fasten the swivel nut well, but just by hand.
Do not open the valve of the oxygen tank yet!
5. Start-up
Put
some container or bottle under the faucet. Open the faucet putting the handle in
the front position
.
Open the water supply and let several liters of water pass through the device,
till no more air bubbles appear.
Shut the faucet. The system must stay tight
unter the water pressure.
Open the valve on the oxygen pressure tank. If the tank is full, the
gauge (4) would indicate approx. 200 bar !
In a normal case no hissing sound indicating escaping gas can be heard.
Should this although occur, shut the oxygen tank valve and wait till the oxygen
lining remain pressureless. Then loosen the swivel nut by hand. Remove
the tank from the dispenser and check the surface of the face of the outlet
connection. No scratches, other demages or dirt are allowed. The surface must be
free of fat (hands!). Then examine the black rubber O-ring in the pressure
reducer (3) for obvious defects or dirt. Be aware that even very small particles
may cause leakage of a gas at high pressure. If after inserting the pressure
tank into position again the oxygen should escape, shut the tank valve and
inform your service agent.
If everything is
tight, open the faucet and draw 3 to 5 liters of oxygenated water, then shut the
faucet again
The device is now ready for tapping
oxygenated water.
6. Exchange of the oxygen pressure tank
When the pressure gauge (4) indicates
„zero" bar, it is time to exchange the oxygen pressure tank.
Remove the cover and close the tank
valve. Close the water supply.
Open the faucet (11) and let the water drip out till the system becomes pressureless and
the swivel nut of the pressure reducer (3) can be released by hand.
This may last several minutes but also half an hour. Don't aply violence.
Remove the oxygen tank from the device. Treat the tank, particularly the outlet
connection with care.
Protect the connecting thread and the face from defects.
The spare tank should be mounted as explained under items 4 & 5.
Don't forget to check the tank connection and the O-ring on the pressure reducer
(3) before.
Safety hints:
OXYGEN and FAT
do not combine! Danger of EXPLOSION !!!
No fat
or oil may stay at the connection of the pressure reducer (3) and the oxygen
pressure tank (2)
Manipulations at
the pressure reducer (3) and the oxygen pressure tank (2), except
operation of the tank valve, are absolutely prohibited.
Don't release the swivel nut of the pressure reducer under
pressure ! This is even under relatively low pressure only possible using
excessive violence and accompanied with high risks. Let the pressure release
first (compare item 6).
Escaping oxygen increases the danger of FIRE.
Pressure tanks and particularly those containing oxygen
are always potentially dangerous and must be treated with special care (transport,
storing & applications). Special attention has to be paid to the tank valves
to avoid demages.
7.
Exchange of filter cartridge
The filter cartridge (1) combining activated carbon & capillary membranes
has high capacity, but should be replaced latest after 12 months ( the
manufacturer recommends 6 months!)..
Take care that no unfiltered or poluted water touches the inner part of the new
cartridge as well as the inner part of the filter housing's head. Wash your
hands well after removing the used cartridge and cleaning the lower part of the
filter housing.
|
· Remove
the cover
·
Close the water supply
·
Prepare a cloth to pick up some water that may drip out from the filter
housing
·
Loosen
the lower part (sump)
of the filter housing from the fixed top
using the special wrench (17), unscrewing
anticlockwise (seen from bellow). In case it is difficult to loosen the sump,
remove the water supply connection in the rear (using a wrench 12 mm), let the
remaining pressure release. Fix the connection again. The cartridge may pinch
in the top and thus it is necessary to move it a little to get it out more
easily. Sometimes the plastic collar remains in the top and must be removed by
means of pliers.

·
Remove the dirty cartridge and water from the sump.
·
Clean the sump inside well
·
Check
the O-ring in the sump . If it is too
dry, rub it a little with vaseline or silicon-fat. The ring must be
distributed regularly in the groove.
·
Insert the new cartridge into the sump with its OUTLET up.
Take care that the black rubber gasket at the bottom of the cartridge
doesn't fall out. Screw the sump to the top again using the wrench (17).
Fasten it well but with some feeling!
·
Open
the water supply. The system, particularly the filter housing, must
stay tight under the water pressure.
·
Wash
your hands carefully after exchaning the filter cartreidge, as you have
contact with bacteria.
·
Open
the faucet
(11) and draw 3 to 5 liters water.
Caution:
It may last several minutes till the normal flow of 2 liters / minute is
achieved. The fine pores in the capillary membranes must get wet
first.
· Fix the
cover again. |

8. When the device is not used for a longer period
For security reasons close the water
supply and the oxygen tank valve.
Do not drain the device completely, particularly the diffusor must remain wet.
9.
Warranty
The warranty period lasts 12 months. It
begins at the moment of delivery, which is indicated on the invoice or delivery
note.
The warranty concerns defects that occur with respect to material or
manufacturing faults. The warranty will be denied, if the defects refer to
inappropriate operation, ignoring the instruction manual or to intervention of a
third party.
