Page 14: Function, Purification Process
Function, purification process The pump sucks in water through the floating filter. It is then pumped through the four pre-filters (two particle and two carbon filters) where it is cleansed of particles and organic substances. After the pre-filters the water is led into the osmosis unit, which has three circuits, separated by a membrane. -
Page 15: Pump Unit
Pump unit The pump unit consists of a triple diaphragm pump and a directly connected three- phase electric motor. The pump unit sits on a rubber-mounted frame. The pump is self- priming and does not need to be filled with water before starting. On the pump’s pressure side is a pressure damper. - Page 16 The pump has two lubricator nipples for grease lubrication of the pump journal bearings. One lubricator nipple is to be accessed from the front of the box via a plug in the box. Figure 12. Hole for lubricator nipple The other lubricator nipple is positioned just in front of the cover over the pump shaft. Figure 13.

Page 20: Purification System
Purification system Floating filter The floating filter sits at one end of the suction hose and has the task of filtering out impurities down to 100 m before the water reaches the pump. The floating filter consists mainly of a steel wire strainer, two plastic grilles and a float. The float must be filled with water to adjust the flow depth. - Page 21 Particle filter 5 Particle filter 5 m consists of a filter container of steel containing a three-insert filter. The particle filter purifies the water of particles down to 5 m. Dirty filter inserts must always be replaced with new. The filter container can be cleaned by rinsing with clean water.
- Page 22 Osmosis unit The water purifier has 12 series-connected reverse osmosis membranes. Each one is mounted in a tube of stainless steel. The osmosis unit is located in box 2. Figure 21. Osmosis unit Reverse osmosis works by pressurising contaminated water and forcing it against synthetic semipermeable membranes.
- Page 23 destroys any ozone. The UV light kills the microorganisms by destroying their DNA/RNA structures. Figure 22. UV purifier Flow meter On the line from the UV purifier’s outlet is a flow meter. The meter shows the amount of clean water, which passes through the system. The meter has a counting mechanism that shows passing water flow in cubic metres and an indicator that on each revolution shows 1 dl.
- Page 24 Pressure control valve On the osmosis unit’s outlet pipe for contaminated water is a pressure control valve. Its task is to create a counterpressure in the system so that the water is forced against the osmosis membranes and purification can take place. Figure 24.
