Page 4: Operating Instructions
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS SkyHydrant ultrafiltration units are ideal for supplying drinking water in remote locations from both surface and ground water supplies. SkyHydrants can be setup and operated by non-technical persons and require no power or replacement filters. SKYHYDRANT SETTING UP Select a secure undercover location for the SkyHydrant sheltered from sun and rain and install in an upright position. - Page 5 COMMENCE USING THE SKYHYDRANT INTERNAL FILTER MODULE Before start up, read section “Water Pipes and The SkyHydrant does not need to be opened or Containers - Keep Free Of Contamination”. accessed internally for cleaning or maintenance. 1. Fill the Unit with Water Regular cleaning is however essential to prevent the Open T1 “Dirty Water In”...
- Page 6 SKYHYDRANT SOLUTION CLEANING PROCEDURE (Undertake weekly/monthly) Solution cleaning removes accumulated organic matter and other contaminates from the SkyHydrant not removed by the regular manual cleaning. To do this, follow the process below: Chlorine is used to remove deposits of organic matter form inside the filtration unit. Follow steps C1 to C8 below and see step C4 for the amount of chlorine to use: Undertake Steps M1 to M6 of the MANUAL CLEAN PROCEDURE (listed on previous page) REPEAT Step M4 of the MANUAL CLEAN PROCEDURE (this will leave the unit empty of water).

Page 7: How The Skyhydrant Works
HOW THE SKYHYDRANT WORKS The SkyHydrant requires no power to operate; instead it relies on the flow of water from gravity pressure. Raw water flows through the unit with a water head pressure of between 2 metres and maximum 4 metres (20kPa to 40kPa or 3psi to 6psi). - Page 8 MULTIPLE SKYHYDRANT UNITS Multiple SkyHydrant can be connected together (2 or more) to increase water production when required. Multiple connection kits are available or alternatively obtain local plumbing fittings to manifold multiple SkyHydrants together. Water production will vary significantly depending on the quality of the raw water available.

Page 9: How To Maintain Water Quality
HOW TO MAINTAIN WATER QUALITY FEED WATER SUITABILITY FOR ULTRAFILTRATION Not all water is suitable for filtering through the SkyHydrant ultrafiltration unit (UF) and testing for unsuitable contaminates should be undertaken before use. • YES – Diseases Removed The SkyHydrant will significantly remove biological contaminates and pathogens including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, cysts, parasites etc. - Page 10 PREVENTING POST CONTAMINATION OF DRINKING WATER Water produced from the SkyHydrant is free of biological contaminates and safe to drink. Over time however, water quality can deteriorate - in hot climates water can remain safe for a few days while in colder climates it may stay safe for weeks.

Page 11: Ultrafiltration Removal Criteria
ULTRAFILTATION REMOVAL CRITERIA A patented low-pressure ultrafiltration technology meeting and exceeding World Health Organisation requirements for safe drinking water. Proprietary and patented low-pressure ultrafiltration membrane technology is highly effective in removing all non-dissolved species in feed waters. Ultrafiltration is classified by the World Health Organisation (WHO) as effective removal of disease causing pathogens and exceeds requirements for key criteria to produce safe drinking water. - Page 12 Minerals (hardness) is not removed by ultrafiltration, this includes: • Total Hardness, hard water is mainly calcium and magnesium and is not considered a health risk but can be unpleasant to taste and cause a build up of scale in pipes (WHO safe drinking standard-Max 500 mg/L) •...

Page 14: Data Sheet
DATA SHEET SkyHydrant Water Filtration Units require no power or replacement filters and can be operated by non- technical persons. SkyHydrants are lightweight and portable making them ideal for supplying drinking water in most remote locations from both surface and ground water supplies. They can operate as single standalone units or be manifolded together to increase water flow to create large-scale water production plants. - Page 15 THE SOLUTION The SkyHydrant is a patented low cost, low maintenance ultra water filtration solution. It affords practical, small-scale potable water treatment using proven ultrafiltration (UF) membrane technology. The hollow fibre membrane filtration module is mounted inside a potable rated moulded plastic pressure housing which is compact, robust, easy to transport and simple to install.
