Municipal tap, or a lake?

The single question that splits the catalogue in two, and the one most likely to produce a warranty argument if it is answered wrong at the point of sale.

A still lake at first light, shallow water over pale stones in the foreground and mist on the far bank.

Every system in the range except one is specified for municipal tap water. Not well water, not a rainwater tank, not a river — municipal supply, chlorinated and pressurised, within the feed limits the manuals set.

The KB-A95R is the exception and the reason the exception exists. It is rated to draw from a river, a lake or a tank as well as from the mains, and it carries the pump that makes that possible.

Why this matters at the point of sale

The off-grid picture sells well — a cabin, a boat, a site with no mains. It is also the picture most likely to put a tap-only system on water it was never specified for. If the customer's supply is anything other than a pressurised municipal line, the A95R is the model, or the answer is a pre-treatment stage ahead of the system rather than a different system.

The catalogue also lists hollow-fibre UF units for whole-house and well-water pre-treatment. They answer a different customer entirely — ask KomiBright directly.
