Startup Information
Once the Homespring™ Authorized Technician has
completed the System installation, the System must be
flushed before use. The flushing will remove any food-
grade preservative used in the factory and any cleaning
agent used in the commissioning of the System. Open a
near by cold water tap downstream of the System in full
and allow it to run for 60 minutes. Ensure that the drain of
the sink is unobstructed and is able to accommodate the
flow. Do not leave the running tap unattended.
There may be some chlorine smell in the water in the first
few days after the System has been installed. If desired,
run a cold water tap for a few minutes on each of the first
few days before use.
Sanitizing Information
If the System is used to filter water from sources other
than a municipal drinking water supply (e.g. surface water
and ground water), the drinking water distribution system
of the dwelling must be disinfected prior to use. The
cleaning procedure performed during the commissioning
of the System does not disinfect the water distribution
system of the dwelling.
Normal Operation
The System does not require any special attention under
normal operation conditions. The System uses existing
water pressure in the water supply line to filter water and
will continue to operate even during a power failure.
System
Electricity is only required to activate the self-cleaning
Cap
sequences.
Setting the Controller
Inlet port
The System uses two methods to clean its membrane:
System
a) flushing and b) draining. During a flushing sequence, the
Casing
Drain Solenoid Valve of the System opens, allowing
contaminants inside the System to be flushed out under the
water supply line pressure. For Systems equipped with a
Surface Water Option Kit, the System may also perform a
Drain port
draining sequence. During a draining sequence, water is
completely emptied out from the System. Both the flushing
and draining sequences are done automatically.
NOTE: Electrical power to the Controller must be on to
activate the flushing and draining sequences. The batteries
Outlet port
are for keeping the time in case of power failure and will
not activate the flushing and draining sequences.
Air
Bladder
NOTE: Once the Controller is set, the Controller will
Valve
remember the Start Time, Program Number, and Flush/
Drain Interval settings even if the electrical power to the
Controller is interrupted.
NOTE: When the System is undergoing a flushing or a
draining sequence, very little or no water will be available
for use in the dwelling. If possible, select a time for the
flushing and draining when no water generation is required.
Normal operation will resume once the flushing and
draining sequences are finished.
