BLUEWATER PRO
WORLD-LEADING PURIFICATION
Compact and robust, Bluewater Pro is your very own water factory that supplies near endless amounts of freshwater round the clock. A powerhouse point-of-use water purifier that helps both professional kitchens and homes create their own near-endless supply of pure water for cooking, washing, and drinking.
Delivering an amazing 6,912 liters of water per day, Bluewater Pro removes most all known waterborne contaminants. Harnessing patented second-generation reverse osmosis technology SuperiorOsmosis™, Bluewater Pro turns municipal water into pristine water for drinking, cooking, and washing. You can connect Bluewater Pro to the fridge to get pure ice cubes and to the dishwasher to ensure sparkling glassware and dishes.
EASY TO INSTALL, EASY TO MAINTAIN
Any plumber or person with basic ‘do-it-yourself’ skills can easily install Bluewater Pro. Pre-fitted water connectors and an electric cable on the back of the unit make it easy to connect the water purifier correctly to the water inlet and outlet system and the power source.
PERFORMANCE (INCL. SPECIFICATIONS)
This system has been tested according to NSF/ANSI 58, 372, and CSA B483.1 for the reduction of the substances listed below. The concentration of the indicated substances in water entering the system was reduced to a concentration less than or equal to the permissible limit for water leaving the system, as specified in NSF/ANSI 58. The substances are Arsenic (V), Chromium (III), Lead, and TDS. This reverse osmosis system contains replaceable treatment components, critical for the effective reduction of total dissolved solids. It is the user’s responsibility to, and the manufacturer strongly recommends that the user, periodically have the product water tested to verify the system is performing properly.
If Pro 400 HF filters and membrane elements are not used, health-related contaminant reduction claims are invalid.
ARSENIC FACTS SECTION Arsenic (abbreviated As) is found naturally in some well water. Arsenic in water has no color, taste, or odor. It must be measured by a laboratory test. Public water utilities must have their water tested for arsenic. You can get the results from your water utility. If you have your own well, you can have the water tested. The local health department or the state environmental health agency can provide a list of certified labs. The cost is typical $15 to $30. Information about arsenic in water can be found on the Internet at the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency website: www.epa.gov/safewater/arsenic.html.
There are two forms of arsenic: pentavalent arsenic (also called As(V), As(+5), and arsenate) and trivalent arsenic (also called As(III), As(+3), and arsenite). In well water, arsenic may be pentavalent, trivalent, or a combination of both. Special sampling procedures are needed for a lab to determine what type and how much of each type of arsenic is in the water. Check with the labs in your area to see if they can provide this type of service.
Reverse osmosis (RO) water treatment systems do not remove trivalent arsenic from water very well. RO systems are very effective at removing pentavalent arsenic. A free chlorine residual will rapidly convert trivalent arsenic to pentavalent arsenic. Other water treatment chemicals such as ozone and potassium permanganate will also change trivalent arsenic to pentavalent arsenic. A combined chlorine residual (also called chloramine) may not convert all the trivalent arsenic. If you get your water from a public water utility, contact the utility to find out if free chlorine or combined chlorine is used in the water system.
The Pro 400 system is designed to remove pentavalent arsenic. It will not convert trivalent arsenic to pentavalent arsenic. The system was tested in a lab. Under testing conditions, the system reduced 0.30 mg/L (ppm) pentavalent arsenic to 0.010 mg/L (ppm) (the USEPA standard for drinking water) or less. The performance of the system may be different at your installation. Has the treated water been tested for arsenic to check whether the system is working properly?
The RO component of the Pro 400 system must be replaced for 3-5 years to ensure that the system will continue to remove pentavalent arsenic. The component identification and locations where you can purchase the component are listed in the installation/operation manual.
