General info
In normal setup the FULLHOUSE system is a water production plant with a daily capacity of 3000 liters. It could handle different inlet water: municipal one, water from private wells and lakes, even brackish water (like Baltic Sea water with salt content up to 7500 mg/liter). The output water pressure as well as maximum water flow could be adjusted in a wide range of limits to different demands. It is sufficient for providing pure water for a whole modern cottage. The purified water is ready to use as drinking water without any further treatment. There is no need in disinfection or boiling.
Taking into account the FULLHOUSE technical features it’s obvious it could be very effective in water production industries, in which the best combination of compact size and high capacity is requested.

II. Competitive advantages
The FULLHOUSE is a quite different system comparing to water treatment equipment normally used in cottages. In terms of setup and functionality it has the following features:
|
1. Setup
|
a. Modules. FULLHOUSE includes 4 modules: purification unit, a tank, distribution module, PH correction unit
b. Size. In normal setup the FULLHOUSE is the most compact system in the world with such functionality. It takes less than 0,5m2, 87 cm height.
c. Installation. FULLHOUSE needs just inlet water supply, distribution water channel to be connected to, drainage channel connection and electricity power supply 220V. The whole system looks like a monolith household appliance, not like a space station with a lot of dangerously looking elements.

2. Functionality
|
a. Contaminations reduction efficiency. Reduction efficiency is typical for high pressure reverse osmosis technology. Contaminations reduction doesn’t mean ion exchange as it happens, for example, during hardness reduction procedure. Reverse osmosis is a no chemical technology aimed at complete withdrawal of Dinsinfectants, Inorganic Chemicals, Organic Chemicals, Disinfection Byproducts, Microorganisms and Radionuclides* from water. Reverse osmosis water needs no further treatment (disinfection, boiling and so on) to be used as drinking water. www.andeg.com.ua includes detailed information as for this matter. |
b. Cottage drainage system. While using FULLHOUSE a load on a cottage drainage system looks very different comparing to those in case of an ion exchange system use. An ion exchange system needs a regular regeneration procedure accompanied by short time drainage of big amount of contaminated water which had been accumulated in the system during previous cycle. Reverse osmosis technology suggests continuous low flow drainage of contaminated water during active cycle. No contaminated water accumulation happens.
c. Chemicals free purification technology. This is normal for reverse osmosis technology to separate contaminated water into two channels: pure water channel and waste water channel. No chemical is used for this. The efficiency of this separation is defined by membrane parameters and working pressure of a purification unit which is equal 15 bars in our case. |
d. Consumables and cartridges. Some chemicals could be used in FULLHOUSE system after purification procedure. Sodium**, for example, could be used for PH correction using PH correction unit. Normally 1 kg o sodium needed for 20000 liters of pure water. PH correction unit could be used for adding mineral components to pure water in a controlled amount. Detailed description is available through www.andeg.com.ua |
e. Inlet water pretreatment. In most cases FULLHOUSE doesn’t need any chemical inlet water pretreatment because of variety of purification modules available. Some of these models handle very hard water. Exceptions could happen, but it seems to be a very rare thing for most regions of Ukraine. Details are available through www.andeg.com.ua |
3. Other possibilities.
|
a. We have mentioned presence of PH correction unit in the system. This unit allows making needed water treatment procedures after its purification. Details are available in technical documentation for the system. |
*Water contaminations are classified in accordance with EPA USA materials (Environment Protection Agency, USA, www.epa.gov |
**Sodium – is listed by EPA USA as a non regulated contamination |
III System configuration: estimations.
|
Daily water consumption figure is the first parameter needed for understanding of FULLHOUSE system configuration. If it is equal or less than 3000 liters we should conclude the normal system setup will be enough with, possibly, some extra tank volume.
If we go with this case all further calculations aimed at defining the total tank volume TTV). It is clear the TTV can’t exceed 3000 liters: one purification module can’t provide bigger amount of water on a daily base. If the maximum amount of available water is to be distributed ones a day in a very short time period, 3000 liters TTV is needed.
Let us consider 4 people family with typical monthly water consumption 12 – 18 ì3 (0,4 - 0,6 ì3 a day). Obviously, TTV in this case can’t exceed 0,6 ì3 and depends on a water consumption schedule for the family. Suppose, 60% of daily amount of water is needed in the evening when everybody is at home. It means just 360 liters tank maximum could be needed. Definitely before this moment the tank is full (purification module flow rate is 125 liters per hour, so 3 hours is enough to refill it).
Actually, it is a very rough estimation which doesn’t take into consideration short time intervals as well as FULLHOUSE electronic controller peculiarities.
The Distributor could provide detailed analysis as for needed configuration for a definite case. There is an example below to demonstrate the fact 300 liters TTV could be a universal solution for most families who lives in cottages (200 liters TTV is used as an example below – we can see the system is never empty and could supply big amount of water in short time periods).
