2. Installation
2.1 Pre-installation requirements
Amiad’s AMF 36K filter is used for various water filtration applications and therefore can be installed in different types of
installation sites; therefore prior to the actual installation of the filter it is important to make sure that the installation site
meets the following criteria and requirements:
2.1.1 Floor area and surface

The installation site area should be large enough to allow:
o
Access for performing regular maintenance procedures safely
o
Removal of filter components in case that disassembly of the filter is required
o
Installation of additional filter units if expansion of the filtration system is required
o
Installation of platforms and safety barriers to enable easy access to the filter without climbing on pipes
and other equipment

The installation site should be properly drained by providing sufficient floor gradient and preventing standing
water accumulation

The installation site should be properly lighted for good visibility and safe maintenance
2.1.2 Power supply

Rated operation voltage - 3 Phase, 220 - 480 V, 50 / 60 Hz. Please consult your Certified General Arrangement
Installation drawings for details

Power consumption – 3 KW

Power connection to the pump:

In cases where the pump power supply is not pre connected by the factory, connect the pump to the control
panel by means of a cable of 4 x 2.5mm² for a distance of up to 10m. Consult Amiad for cable specifications for
distances longer than 10m. (In any case the user is responsible that this installation meets or exceeds the local
or the national electrical codes; this is a "high" voltage connection).
2.1.3 Water supply for filter flushing
For proper removal of the filter cake without causing damage to the filter media, it is mandatory for the filter flushing
process to use clean filtered water only. Therefore, the filter’s flushing pump should be connected to a filtered water
source capable of supporting a flow-rate of 6 M³/h
(27 GPM).
In a single filter installation the flushing water source may be one of the following options:

In cases where the filter is installed upstream of any type of water storage facility such as reservoir, water tank
or water tower, a supply line can be installed between the clean water storage and the filter for feeding the
filter’s flushing pump with filtered water.

In cases where the filter is connected directly to the end-users’ pipeline, a designated flushing water tank
should be installed in the filter vicinity. This tank is connected to the downstream outlet of the filter and is
filled-up during the regular operation of the filter in order to serve as the flushing pump’s water source during
the flushing process. The minimal water storage in such tank should be – 1 M³
(265 gallon)
