filtration process

Water filtration in the UFC Series is accomplished 

using two modes: Flush Interval Mode, shown as 

Fi 

on 

the LED Display and Flush Duration Mode (

Fd 

on LED 

display). During the Flush Interval, water enters the 

inlet and flows through the filter element before exiting 

the Permeate outlet as usable product water. 

After a certain period of time, depending upon water 

quality, the filter has to be cleaned. This is accom-

plished through the Flush Duration Mode. During 

 

this mode, the drain valve opens and flushes the 

membrane to remove debris collected inside the  

membrane walls. 

nOte: both the flush Interval mode and the flush 

Duration  mode can be automated by programming 

the timer. During the flush Interval mode, the valve 

is not powered in order to keep water filtering during 

a power outage.
