MuchMoreWater PART 1 Before using Bluebox 450 1. Connect the three coupling houses to the inlets and outlets located on the top, longside of the BlueBox (see ill.). The hoses are marked with colours and the raw water hose is of different size to avoid connecting it to the drinking water outlet by accident.
MuchMoreWater PART 2 Starting the Bluebox 450 – Electrical version. Connect the unit to a 230 V power supply (see ill.). Before starting the pump make sure that the pressure valve is in open position (see ill.). The Bluebox must not be started with pressure on, the 3 pre-filters might blast.

MuchMoreWater Turn the pressure valve on the main block clockwise until the pressure get to app. 8 bars. (see ill.). Open the grey electricity box to check that the UV-indicators display shows green light (see ill.). Unclean water will come out of the red hose while drinking water can be tapped from the blue hose.
MuchMoreWater PART 3 After using the BlueBox 450 – Electrical version Carefully turn the blue pressure regulating handle on the main block counter-clockwise until the pressure reads 0 bars (see ill.). Let the Bluebox work 1 minute without pressure. Press on the red button (see ill.).
MuchMoreWater PART 4 Maintenance of Bluebox 450 Daily Cleaning of the float-filter: Screw off the red balloon and plastic top. Remove the nylon and metal filters. Rinse them in clean water with a brush. Affix the filter and check that the crude filter is placed on top (see ill.).
MuchMoreWater The filters should be changed when plant pressure is becoming too high or when they are judged to being too dirty. Max. 6 months operating time.. Filers on the front of the electric box; these filters have to be cleaned from dust e.g.
MuchMoreWater Membrane Cleaning To make sure that the prescribed cleaning fluids are working correctly, the system must be run with and without pressure, which means that the blue handle at the main block (see ill.) are in open position and then turned to closed position.

MuchMoreWater 9. After more than 14 days of standstill and before storing, the Bluebox 450 must undergo a complete cleaning process as described above. Cleaning Procedure with RoClean products The RO plant is organically or biologically fouled and requires cleaning. Avista Technologies recommend cleaning with low pH then high pH cleaners RoClean P303 and RoClean P111.

MuchMoreWater Once the solution is mixed and the pH has been verified to be 2.5>pH<3.5 introduce the cleaning solution to the (feed/brine side of the) plant at a low flow and displace the flushing water to drain before diverting the flow to the CIP tank. Keep the cleaning fluid in contact with the membranes for a total of 2 hours stopping and starting the recirculation pump every 15 minutes to allow deep soaking and scouring action on the foulant layer.

MuchMoreWater Return the plant to operating mode and start up the unit. Allow the unit to settle down for an hour and take a set of readings. The feed pressure and differential pressure should have improved significantly but the product quality might have drifted off slightly. The quality will be expected to improve over the next 24 hours as the membranes tighten up again after high pH cleaning.
