1 OVERALL SECURITY INSTRUCTIONS

TURN THE PRESSURE OFF BEFORE INTERFERING WITH THE EQUIPMENT.

INTERFERENCE WITH THE EQUIPMENT SHOULD ONLY BE MADE BY AUTHORIZED
PERSONNEL.

THIS EQUIPMENT IS NOT MADE FOR OUTSIDE USAGE. THE FILTER FULFILS THE
SECURITY RULES OF EUROPEAN STANDARD EN 292 AND DIRECTIVE 89/392

The equipment should only be handled and maintained by authorized service personnel or
for the purpose qualified and trained personnel. Each interference or change in the
equipment must be approved by the manufacturer or the supplier. Problems that can arise
from neglecting to follow these recommendations could lead to that the product guarantees
for the equipment are withdrawn.

2 OVERALL CHARACTERISTICS

ENWA’s water cleaning filters are filters where the water runs through a container filled with
filter material which is adjusted for the incoming water quality. The water which is to be
cleaned passes through the water filter in which the impurities sticks to the filter material.
After some usage the filter is cleaned by an automatic flushing process and the impurities are
removed into the drain.

3 INTENDED AREA OF USAGE

ENWA’s water cleaning filters are constructed and manufactured to purify water in normal,
industrial and household applications. The water filters must not be used in premises where
there is obvious risk for fires, for example in connection with storage of explosive liquids,
gases and other substances. In applications where the water, after passing the cleaning filter,
is to be stored in a tank, proper equipment should be installed after the tank, to ensure the
quality of the water. For more information consult with the supplier. The water filter is only to
be used in applications to which it’s originally intended for and in accordance with the
instructions in this manual. All other usage of the equipment is incorrect and will make the
supplier and the manufacturer to revoke all their responsibilities and guaranties for the
equipment as well as complaints, injuries and other damages.

4 TRANSPORT AND EQUIPMENT HANDLING

The equipment must be lifted and transported in accordance with the following instructions:

 Transport if possible the equipment in its original packaging.

 Protect the surface of the filter tank when transporting the equipment.

5 UNPACKING
DEPOSIT ALL PACKAGING MATERIAL IN AN ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABLE WAY OR STORE IT
FOR FUTURE TRANSPORTATION OF THE EQUIPMENT.
After unwrapping, control that the equipment is complete and without any visible damages. If
you’re unsure don’t use it until you have contacted your supplier or the manufacturer for a
consultation. All packaging material (e.g. plastic film and bags, nails, screws, wood, metal
bands et cetera) should be handled as dangerous goods, especially for children, and be
deposited in accordance with the current environmental laws.

6 PLACING OF THE WATER FILTER

6.1 ARRANGEMENT OF THE EQUIPMENT

Take the following paragraphs into consideration when placing the filter.

 The surface must be totally flat and strong enough to carry the total weight of the
equipment.
 Make sure there’s enough space around the equipment to fulfil proper usage,
maintenance and inspections.

6.2 VENTILATION

The placing of the water filter could prolong its lifespan. The room should be large enough,
dry and well ventilated. The surrounding room temperature must be 5 - 45°C.

7 INSTALLATION
7.1 CONNECTION TO THE WATER SYSTEM

The filter is connected after the RO-unit according to figure 1.

Mount a bypass valve to isolate the filter at maintenance and service work.

figure 1 recommended installation

8 FUNCTION
8.1 FILTRATION POSITION
Water from incoming pipe passes through water
filter from below, is treated by filter material in the
filter tank and passed out through the water filter by
an outlet valve.

figure 2. filtration position

8.2 FLUSH POSITION

The filter should be flushed on regular basis with a
higher flow than the RO-unit has the capacity of.
This keeps porosity and prevents the material of
solidifying. For required flow rate see chapter 12.

9 FILLING INSTRUCTION

The following instruction is to be used when the filter material has been delivered separately
or when the filter is refilled.

a) Drain the filter

b) Empty the filter tank

1. Make sure that the filter is without pressure (paragraph 14)

2. Open the filling lid and fill with water (according to the table) to protect the bottom
nozzles.
3. Fill the filter with material according to figure 4.
4. Slowly fill the tank completely with water.
5. Put the lid back.

10 START UP

Use the following instructions at first start:

1. Keep all valves for incoming and outgoing lead closed.

2. Open valve D slightly.
3. Open valve C slightly and fill the filter tank slowly with water. Open valve A fully.
4. Open valve D into fully open position.
5. Rinse the filter continuously, until the waste water is clear (approximately 15 min).
6. Open valve B.
7. Close valve D, and the filter is in filtration position.

IMPORTANT
FILL THE FILTER TANK SLOWLY, TO AVOID FILTER MEDIA TO ACCOMPANY WATER OUT THROUGH
VALVE.

11 FLUSH

Use the following instructions when performing a flush:

1. Close valve A.
2. Open valve D.
3. Close valve B.
4. Open valve C, flush the filter with clean water and let out coming water
go to waste approximately 10-15 min.

13 ROUTINE SERVICE MEASURES

IMPORTANT
STOP THE RO-UNIT BEFORE EACH SERVICE OPERATION

Each month

Depending on how much water the RO the produce the frequency of the flushing can vary.
But it should be flushed about once/month (Use instructions 11).

2-4 times/year

Check the level of filter material (15,CHECKING AND REFILLING OF MAGNO-DOL)

14 DECOMPRESSION

Follow the instructions:

1. Close the inlet and the outlet valve.

2. Release pressure by opening the drain valve in the bottom of the tank
(and then close it).

15 CHECKING AND REFILLING OF MAGNO-DOL

Magno-Dol is the material used for increasing pH-value. The consumption of material
depends on the quantity of carbon dioxide in the water.

 Release tank pressure according to paragraph 1414.

 Open the filling lid and use a measurement rod to see how much material there is
left.

figure 6. Measurement of material

compare with the sticker on the tank for correct level.

figure 7. Comparing with sticker

 If necessary, fill up with Magno-Dol.

 Mount the filling lid and open the valve on the inlet and the outlet.
Make sure the drain valve is closed.
