Page 32
Installation 4. Check the tight fit of the filter in the connection module. a Pull gently on the filter. 5. When mounting horizontally, ensure that the connection mod- ule with the filter is securely supported against the wall sur- face. a If necessary, adjust the handwheel of the wall support until it presses against the wall surface.
Installation 5.5 Attaching the backwash connection If it is not possible to install a waste water pipe, the backwash water can be collected in a bucket/container. 5.5.1.1 Backwash water discharge with drain connection The supplied hose adapter is not required for this variant. The free outlet is already integrated in the filter for this variant.
Page 34
Installation 5.5.1.2 Backwash water discharge with hose connection 1. Mount the hose adapter on the filter. The hose is not included in the scope of supply. The hose length must not exceed 4 metres. Longer hoses can lead to pressure loss and impair backwash. Stagnated water can remain in the hose due to in- NOTE sufficient slope.
Page 35
Installation 2. Connect an on-site hose to the hose adapter and to the in- stalled drain connection. 35 | 68...
Page 36
Installation Alternative discharge of the backwash water 1. Connect an on-site hose to the hose adapter. 2. Lay the hose to the discharge point (e.g. bucket, drain or floor outlet). ► Make sure that there is a free outlet for the backwash water at the discharge point.
Page 37
