The backwash period is adjustable depending on the nature of the contamination being removed. Filter Configuration The DVF is a patented filter system for water, which can remove particulate down to 1 micron nominal in size. Each unit has a total of four valve connections – namely: Process Inlet Valve V1 - This is the filter’s inlet connection for the dirty process water supply.
The valve can be supplied at extra cost, if required. Note: V2 and V3 can be reversed to match the plant requirements. If this is required, please consult Amiad Water Systems as sometimes the PLC program needs to be amended.
This stage is designed to enable room on the upper part of the vessel for the air about to be introduced. Close the inlet valve, outlet valve, BW inlet valve. Open the drain outlet valve, allowing the top amount of water in the DVF to drain up to the drain pipe level. The draining time depends on the installation.

+2°C without heat tracing. If there is any risk of this, you should consult with Amiad Water Systems. Connect inlet/outlet process pipe-work, backwash and drain to the unit as necessary and check all filter •...
Pipework Connections The waste /dirty backwash water V4 connection, should not create any back-pressure on the filter. The • drain pipe-work should be kept to a minimum of 2 meters and have a minimum of bends. It should not rise above the filter outlet. The drain line should be of a minimum 2” diameter or larger and not exceed 10 meters in length.
Dual Vortex Generator attached. This will expose the nozzles for inspection. Make sure all nozzles are in place. If any nozzles are missing, please contact Amiad Water Systems before proceeding further. DO NOT FILL THE VESSEL IF NOZZLES ARE MISSING.
Open the inlet valve (V1) and let water flow into the filter. Apply water pressure gradually up to the operation DVF filter pressure. Attention - maximum pressure allowed is 7 bar (5 bar for DVF 300)! Check the valves' connections and manifolds for leaks and repair any leak found.
5. Yearly Maintenance Inspect vessel and repair any damage immediately. Inspect the media: If the filtering media is no longer working effectively (short service time, too much coagulation, rubbed down), replace the PEP ACTIVE media according to instructions in section Media Filling Process. •...
Parts Maintenance 1. Filter Vessel Weekly Maintenance • None Monthly Maintenance • Visual inspection of outer vessel surface for early signs of corrosion. • Visual inspection of gasket sealing areas for signs of water leakage.
