- Please read the instructions carefully before using the device for the first time. Keep the instructions in a safe place. -
Congratulations on purchasing this high-quality osmosis system from Dennerle. You have opted for a highly-efficient,
state-of-the-art piece of aquarium equipment. If used properly you will be able to produce highly pure and clean
water that is ideal for use in maintaining aquariums. It will enable you to set the water values to match those to
which the tropical fish and plants are accustomed from their natural habitat. Osmosis water allows you to successfully
keep the most demanding of fish such as discus or salt water fish. Dennerle wishes you lasting enjoyment from your
aquarium!
Important tips
· Protect all components, especially the membrane, from sunlight, heat and frost!
· Maximum permissible operating temperature: 25 °C, for short intervals up to 30 °C.
· Required operating pressure: at least 3 bar. Maximum permissible operating pressure: 6 bar.
· The system is designed to be used with tap water of a quality that corresponds to European standards for drinking
water. The system must not be operated with well water or spring water – the high iron content in such water will
result in the membrane becoming blocked within only a short space of time.
· Switch off the system while work is being carried out on the mains water supply and for several hours afterwards,
as otherwise it might suddenly become blocked by rust or other deposits that are released while work is in process.
· If the tap water is chlorinated, the system should only be used together with a fitted active carbon filter, since
chlorine may destroy the membrane.
· Do not bend the hoses. Osmosis water and residual water must always be able to drain off freely – do not close the
hoses using a faucet or solenoid valve.
· Once the membrane has been put into operation, do not allow it to dry out.
1 This is how the Dennerle Osmosis system works
The system works according to the principle of reverse osmosis: tap water is forced through a special membrane
with ultra-fine pores by the pressure of the water mains supply. These pores are so small that only small water
molecules can pass through. The larger molecules of harmful substances, hardness elements and salts, on the
other hand, are filtered out. Even bacteria and viruses are removed. The result is extremely soft and highly pure
water. The standard fine filter with a pore diameter of 5 μm removes even the smallest of floating particles from
the tap water, thus preventing the osmosis membrane from becoming blocked. The active carbon filter protects
the membrane safely against aggressive chlorine.
A specially configured flow restrictor provides for an optimum ratio of osmosis water to residual water
– ensuring a long service life for the membrane.
