  • Page 5: Before Installation

    • Water temperatures outside 0-37°C will damage the system and void the warranty. • DO NOT install the system in a location where freezing temperatures occur. Freezing may cause permanent damage and will also void the warranty. • DO NOT install where water hammer conditions may occur without installing an arrestor. • DO NOT subject the system to any vacuum, as this may cause the unit to ‘implode’ and leak. Please make provision for a vacuum breaker if there is a possibility of a vacuum occurring. • Allow sufficient space around the installation for easy servicing. Provide a non- switched 240V power source for the control valve Facts to Remember While Planning Your Installation: • All installation procedures MUST conform to local plumbing codes. • If lawn sprinkling, a swimming pool, or geothermal heating/cooling or water for other devices/activities are to be treated by the UF System, a larger model MUST be selected to accommodate the higher flow rate plus the backwashing requirements of the system.

    • All plumbing should be done in accordance with local plumbing codes. The pipe size for the drain line should be a minimum of 5/8”. • Avoid getting primer and solvent cement on filter system. • Install grounding strap on metal pipes if required. • Ensure the system is protected against high pressure and extreme temperatures. Installation 1. Unpack the equipment. Locate and identify the parts as shown on page 6: 2. Extra items required (not supplied): • Bypass Assembly • 2L bottle of TankSafe • 5/8” tubing for drain 3. Ensure water has been tested, input values into Table on Page 4 and the analysis has been inspected by Puretec. 4. Position the system on a level surface.

  • Page 9 FOLLOW LOCAL PLUMBING CODES – Installation should be carried out by a qualified plumber. 9. Connect the Drain Line. Locate the drain tube assembly. Remove the red clip from the drain port, refer to page 6 for identification of the drain port. Insert the drain tube assembly, and reinsert the red clip. Connect extra tube (tubing not supplied) onto the 5/8” drain line from the valve to the drain. The length of drain line should be as short as possible. Ensure the drain line is not kinked. The line must not travel more than 2.4 m up from the valve, otherwise increase the diameter of the drain line. Connect drain to sewer or stormwater according to local guidelines. DO NOT connect to a septic tank. Ensure drain line has an adequate air gap of 2 times the pipe diameter or 25 mm, whichever is larger. 10. Connect the TankSafe Suction Line. Locate the TankSafe suction assembly. Insert the assembly into the shut off valve and then connect the cap to a 2 L bottle of TankSafe (TankSafe not supplied). Ensure the TankSafe suction line is shut-off at the valve (see Page 6 for identification). 11. Ensure Flush Valve is closed. Connect flush valve to drain with 3/4” pipework (pipework not supplied). Installation is now complete. Copyright © Puretec Pty Ltd 2020 UF Series User Guide...

    (If no bypass is installed, refer to Page 12) 1. Ensure the flush valve and TankSafe suction line valve are closed (see Page 6 for identification). Place the bypass valve into bypass operation (Page 11). Turn the water on slowly and run the water to the nearest tap downstream (after the filter system). This will flush out the pipework, however will not enter the UF System. Check for any leaks in the plumbing. 2. Press and hold the UP and DOWN arrows simultaneously and release when the valve goes into backwash, ‘C1’ will be flashing on the display to indicate when the unit is in backwash. 3. Press the DOWN arrow to advance the valve to the TankSafe draw cycle (valve will display ‘C2’). Press the DOWN arrow a second time to advance the valve to the rinse cycle (valve will display ‘C4’). Slowly open the inlet of the bypass valve halfway into the diagnostic mode (Page 9), this will allow water to enter the UF vessel and purge the air to the drain. 4. Once the UF vessel is full, water will start flowing out the drain. Now open the inlet valve completely into the diagnostic mode (Page 11) and allow water to drain for 20 minutes. This will allow for a complete flush of the system, and any preservatives used in the manufacturing process. 5. The valve will return to the normal service position after 20 minutes. 6. Repeat steps 2-5 with the bypass in diagnostic mode (Page 11), this will dispel any excess air from the system. Proceed to the next step when all the air has been purged by pressing the DOWN arrow a third time to advance the valve to the refill cycle (valve will display ‘C5’) and then press the DOWN arrow a final time to end the backwash (valve will display ‘C0’) Note: it is not necessary to flush the system for 20 minutes as per step 3. 7. Once the valve is in the normal service position, open the outlet of the bypass into the normal operation (page 11). 8. Open the nearest tap downstream of the filter system (after the filter system). Flush the system until the water is clear. 9. Close the opened tap and check for leaks. 10. Your system is ready for use. 10 Installation & Operation Manual Copyright © Puretec Pty Ltd 2020...

Press the DOWN arrow to advance the valve to the TankSafe draw cycle (valve will display ‘C2’). Press the DOWN arrow a second time to advance the valve to the rinse cycle (valve will display ‘C4’). Slowly open the inlet valve to half flow, this will allow water to enter the UF vessel and purge the air to the drain. 4. Once the UF vessel is full, water will start flowing out the drain. Now open the inlet valve completely, and allow water to drain for 20 minutes. This will allow for a complete flush of the system, and any preservatives used in the manufacturing process. 5.
