Start-up/Commissioning Start-up/Commissioning The initial start-up/commissioning of the product must be carried out by technical service personnel only. 6.1 Checking the product 1. Open the shut-off valves. 2. Open the closest water withdrawal point downstream of the filter to the maximum. 3.
Start-up/Commissioning The filter does not automatically backwash during initial start-up/ commissioning. A backwash interval of 60 days is factory-set. 5. Start a manual backwash (refer to chapter 7.2.2). The interval counter is then set to zero. The next backwash takes place at the set interval.
Start-up/Commissioning 6.3 Setting the pressure reducer (pureliQ:AD) The factory setting for the pressure reducer is 4 bar. You can change this value as follows: 1. Set the required outlet pressure on the pressure reducer handwheel (turn counterclockwise = pressure increase, turn clockwise = pressure reduction).
Start-up/Commissioning 6.4 Handing over the product to the owner/ operating company ► Explain to the owner/operating company how the product works. ► Use the manual to brief the owner/operating company and answer any questions. ► Inform the owner/operating company about the need for in- spections and maintenance.
Operation Operation The filter is operated automatically and does not require any manual operation. The motor unit of the filter takes over the backwash independently and time-controlled. The filter should always be connected to the power supply. If the power supply is interrupted, the filter automatically completes any backwash that might be in progress.
Operation 7.2 Operating the backwash unit The automatic filter automatically starts backwash processes at the set intervals. The backwash intervals are factory-set to 60 days. You can change the backwash intervals. 7.2.1 Setting the backwash intervals ► Press the push-button repeatedly until the desired backwash interval is set.
Page 32
Operation » The backwash process takes about 50 seconds. ► In case some particles still remain on the filter element, start a manual backwash again. 7.2.2 Starting a manual backwash ► Press the push-button for 3 seconds. » During the backwash process, approx. 14 l of backwash water are discharged to the drain.
