Warning
Treat sodium hypochlorite as an alkali and keep it
away from acids, otherwise chlorine gas will be
liberated!
A warning notice detailing this must be displayed
locally!
2.1.3 Sodium bisulfite solution
At delivery and for long-term storage the membrane is filled with a
1 % sodium bisulfite solution.
Keep ignition sources away from sodium bisulfite storage,
handling and transportation equipment. Keep containers closed
when not in use. Make sure, that all containers are labelled. Do
not expose sodium bisulfite solution to strong acids, as this will
liberate sulphur dioxide gas.
Skin contact: Flush skin with running water for a minimum of 20
minutes. Start flushing while removing contaminated clothing. If
irritation persists, repeat flushing. Obtain medical attention.
In case of minor skin contact, avoid spreading material on
unaffected skin. Discard heavily contaminated clothing and shoes
in a manner that limits further exposure. Otherwise, wash clothing
separately before reuse.
Eye contact: Immediately flush eyes with running water for a
minimum of 20 minutes. Hold eyelids open during flushing. If
irritation persists, repeat flushing. Obtain medical attention.
Inhalation: Move victim to fresh air. Obtain medical attention.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. If victim is alert and not
convulsing, rinse mouth and give some water to dilute material. If
spontaneous vomiting occurs, have victim lean forward with head
down to avoid breathing in of vomitus, rinse mouth and administer
more water. Obtain medical attention.
2.1.4 Granulated Activated Carbon (GAC)
Activated carbon is a strong oxidising agent, which can remove
oxygen from air under wet or humid conditions. The material
safety data sheets from the chemical supplier must be observed.
The material safety data sheets must be available wherever
activated carbon is handled.
2.2 Working near the AQpure
The sound pressure level of the AQpure system is up
to 90 dbA.
Caution
Wear personal ear protection when working near the
AQpure system.
2.3 Working with electricity
Warning
Death or serious injury
Danger of malfunction or damage to the product.
The AQpure system must be earthed with an earth
cable.
Equipotential bonding is installed between all
interfaces and metallic parts to prevent build-up of
static electricity.
All equipotential bonding and earthing must be
reinstalled properly after repair or maintenance.

3. Storage and handling
Warning
Wear the stipulated personal protective equipment
(protective clothing, gloves, safety boots)!
Observe the separate supplier documents for the
Caution
components. All supplier documents are part of the
documentation package delivered with the system.
3.1 Storage
•
Observe the permissible ambient conditions. See section:
11.1.2 Ambient
conditions.
•
The storage location must be protected from rain, humidity,
condensation, direct sunlight and dust.
•
For longer storage the system must be prepared according to
section:
10. Taking the system out of
special requirements for the UF membrane specified below
and in the supplier documents delivered with the system.
3.1.1 UF membrane
Storage in a cool, dry, normally ventilated area protected from
direct sunlight with an ambient temperature of 20-35 °C is
recommended.
The fibres inside the membrane can be damaged, if
Caution
the membrane is left empty for more than 2 hours.
Observe the instructions on storage after decommissioning in
section:
10. Taking the system out of
Uninstalled membrane in original packaging
The membrane should be stored horizontally with the ports facing
up. To prevent collapse of the packaged membrane, stacking
should be limited to four layers. Sealed membranes can be stored
up to 1 year at the recommended conditions in the original
packaging. Four litres of preservative solution are added, see
2.1.3 Sodium bisulfite
solution. The UF membrane shelf life is
one year from the date of manufacture, without taking additional
measures for preservation as long as the instructions on storage
conditions are observed.
3.2 Scope of delivery
The system is shipped in several packages:
•
Standard UF system with built-in standard components and
optional modules
•
UF membrane
Depending on the built-in modules the following optional
packages are within the scope of delivery:
•
Activated carbon filter
•
Accessories as ordered
Thoroughly inspect the packaging for damage from
Caution
transport. If any damage is identified, contact
Grundfos.
3.3 Transport
For details on dimensions and weights of packages at first
delivery, see section:
11.1.4 Transport dimensions and
•
Observe the permissible ambient conditions. See section:
11.1.2 Ambient
conditions.
•
The system must be drained completely. Observe the special
requirements for the UF membrane specified in the supplier
documents delivered with the system.
•
The membrane should be transported horizontally.
•
Use appropriate lifting and transporting devices.
•
Make sure, that the freight does not sustain any point load
during the transport.
•
Avoid strong impact loads.
•
Check and observe the centre of gravity before lifting. The
centre of gravity varies depending on the built-in modules.
•
If using forklifts, use forks that are long enough to cover the
entire depth of the freight.
