Aim Of This Manual; Safety Instructions - Netafim SANDSTORM User Manual

INTRODUCTION

Aim of this manual

The aim of this manual is to provide the user with general instructions for operation, maintenance and
troubleshooting of any configuration of the SandStorm™ metal single- or double-chamber media filtration
system.
All system components are shipped to the site packed in pallets and boxes with installation drawings, user
manual, and a packing list.
NOTE
This manual describes the operation, maintenance and troubleshooting processes of a generic
SandStorm™ filtration system and must be used in unison with the drawings supplied with the system.

Safety instructions

Before handling any part of the system, carefully read the instructions and act accordingly.
NOTE
The maximum working pressure of the filtration system is 8 bar (116 PSI). Make sure the pressure
at the inlet of the filtration system is not higher. (For filtration systems made to order, see the
maximum working pressure in the Product Order).
Check and make sure the pumps and valves do not exceed the tolerances of the system and match the
requirements of the system pressure and flow-rate specifications (see the documentation supplied with
the system).
WARNING
Do not perform maintenance operations or open filter ports before the pressure in the system is
fully released. For draining purposes, open any valve downstream from the filtration system until
the pressure is fully released. Check the pressure gauge to be sure it is at 0 before proceeding.
TIP
If a valve downstream from the filtration system is not available
for pressure release, you can install a manual valve on the lower
2" socket of the outlet manifold end-cap.
Electrical connections and wiring must be done by an authorized electrician only.
Be sure that prior to any maintenance procedures, all electrical connections to the system are unplugged
(AC controller, pumps, etc.).
Do not apply excessive force or pressure on the filtration system components.
Work only with proper and standard tools.
Use only original parts supplied/approved by Netafim™.
