  • Page 5: Introduction

    The Seccua UrSpring is intended to be used exclusively for filtering well water or city water. Use of the UrSpring fo fo f r any other or additional purposes than filtering well water or city water is considered as in non-confo fo f rmity with the intended use. Any use other than that described in these instructions is regarded as unintended use.

    2.2 Using the menu To go to a menu item use the buttons on the controller. Select the menu item with button. 2.3 Viewing controller measurements 2.3.1 Flow This indicates the flow of water through the filter in l/min (gpm). 2.3.2 Pressure drop (p-drop) This shows the current pressure difference between the feed water and filtered water in bar (psi).
  • Page 11: Filter Life Left

    NOTICE The maximum pressure difference may not exceed 2.5 bar (36.26 psi). A filter should reduce the pressure as little as possible. Therefore a high pressure difference is an indication that the filter is fouled (or the current water consumption exceeds the UrSpring capacity) and should be flushed (see ​...

  • Page 15: Automatic Flush When Fouled

    NOTICE The UrSpring device can be set to perform an automatic cleaning of the filter, depending on its fouling. The UrSpring monitors the state of fouling of the filter using the pressure difference between feed water and filtered water, the flow during filtration and the temperature of the filtered water.
