6. Betjeningsvejledning
The Vortopt U1 system provides filtered water on demand without requiring power.
6.1 Real-time Pressure Monitoring
The integrated real-time water pressure gauge allows for continuous monitoring of your system's performance. A drop in pressure can indicate a need for filter replacement or other maintenance.

6.2 5-Stage Super Filtration
The U1 system utilizes a 5-stage filtration process to remove contaminants while retaining beneficial minerals:

- PP Filter: Reduces sediments, rust, and solids.
- GAC Filter: Adsorbs color, odor, and chlorine.
- CTO Filter: Further reduces color, odor, and chlorine.
- UF Filter: Reduces bacteria larger than 0.01μm, colloids, and turbidity.
- POST Carbon Filter: Further purifies color, odor, chlorine, and fluoride, enhancing taste.
Vigtig bemærkning:
This system does not lower Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) levels. TDS measures total dissolved solids, including beneficial minerals like sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. Reverse osmosis is the only method that removes these dissolved ions. For reduced TDS, consider a Vortopt RO system.
