The yield (capacity) is an approximate guide value that depends on other factors in addition to the water hardness. An upstream softening system with regeneration based on common salt can lead to a reduction in the capacity of the MELAdem 47, regardless of the set initial water hardness.
Close the water tap at night, when it is out of use for several weeks and during repair or maintenance work. PLEASE NOTE To prevent water damage, MELAG recommends the use of a leakage water detector e.g. the MELAG water stop. To ensure a standard-compliant connection of the water treatment unit with backflow preventer and a pipe...

4 Setup and installation Installing the water discharge Install the water discharge using the connection set (included in the scope of delivery) according to the following illustration. Install the water discharge preferably directly in front of the sink siphon. Use the enclosed copper seal or a Teflon tape (not included in the scope of delivery) to seal the parts. Position Description Art.
Connecting the device The connection of the MELAdem 47 depends on the device type of the steam sterilizer. The device can be connected directly to the steam sterilizer. PLEASE NOTE: Stand-alone devices collect the used feed water (wastewater) in the wastewater side of the storage tank.

To connect the MELAdem 47 to a Vacuklav 41 B+ Evolution, 43 B+ Evolution, 23 B+ or 31 B+, install the feed water inlet connection for a hose diameter of 6x1 mm (see technical manual of the steam sterilizer). MELAG recommends mounting the safety combination according to the following installation examples for compliant operation according to EN 1717.

6 Maintenance Removing and attaching the filter containers Removing the container Guide the container key (pos. a) from bottom to top over the filter container (pos. b). Turn the container key to the left to open the filter container. Remove the container key as soon as the filter container can be turned easily.
6 Maintenance Change the fine filter Replace the cartridge of the mechanical fine filter (pre-filter) once a year. If there is a high pressure loss, filling the pressure tank takes more time. This can be caused by a high turbidity content in the cold water. In this case, replace the cartridge of the fine filter as required: Close the cold water inflow and the pressure tank shut-off valve.
6 Maintenance Changing the activated carbon filter Change the cartridge of the activated carbon filter once a year or when changing the fine filter: Close the cold water inflow and the pressure tank shut-off valve. Take a little water from the removal valve to depressurise the unit.
6 Maintenance Replacing the mixed-bed resin cartridge When the mixed-bed resin is exhausted (poor permeate quality), change the mixed-bed resin cartridge: Close the cold water inflow and the pressure tank shut-off valve. Take a little water from the removal valve to depressurise the unit.

Glossary Glossary Conductivity is the ability of a conductive chemical substance or mixture of substances to conduct or transfer ener- gy or other substances or particles in space. Demineralised water Water without the minerals usually found in normal spring or tap water; is produced through ion ex- change of normal tap water.
