2.1 Intended use and not intended use
The Condair RO-H Reverse Osmosis System is intended to be used exclusively for pure water production
within the operating conditions as specified in the Installation, Operation and Service Manual, chapter 5.3
and must not be installed/used in explosion hazard areas. Any other use without the written consent of
Condair is considered as not conforming with the intended purpose and may lead to the Condair RO-H
Reverse Osmosis System becoming dangerous and will void any warranty.
Operation of the equipment in the intended manner requires that all the information contained in this
manual are observed (in particular the safety and hygiene instructions).
Not intended use
The pure water (RO water) is not drinking water and must not be connected to any drinking water outlet.
2.2 Hygiene
Please observe the local health and safety executive's technical guidance on the control of Legionellosis
in water systems.
The user is responsible for ensuring that the water system complies with local regulations, bylaws and
guidelines (such as the HSE ACoP L8, VDI 6022, ISO 22000, HACCP or equivalent). If inadequately
maintained, the RO System, can support the growth of microorganisms, including the bacterium that
causes Legionnaires' disease.
The RO-H is produced according to best hygiene standards, which means that we have considered
all aspects of this equipment to reduce the risk of Legionnaires' disease and other similar conditions.
However, the user is responsible for ensuring that the installation, operation and maintenance work on
the equipment is performed in a manner, ensuring that the system stays clean!
2.2.1 Guidelines to ensure your system stays clean and prevent the growth of Le-
gionella
• Carry out a risk assessment of the water system using a competent person and implement an ap-
propriate monitoring and control program.
• Initiate procedures for checking the system, cleaning tanks, changing filters, disinfection etc.
• The RO-H must be connected to a clean, potable mains water supply.
• Enter into a service contract that suits you or your company.
• Stop the system if polluted drinking water is found in your area.
• Avoid water temperatures above 77 °F that favor the growth of Legionella. If the water temperature
surpasses 86 °F, the RO-H cannot be used in connection with a Condair MN.
• Do not stop the system unless it is faulty or leaking (avoid water stagnation).
• Disinfect the Condair RO-H System at least once a year and after every maintenance or repair. Al-
ways carry out a complete system disinfection inclusive humidifier if it has been turned off for more
than 48 hours.
• Have water samples taken and tested for harmful bacteria at least once a year.
• Conduct follow-up measurements until the system is clean if bacteria have been detected in the
system.
