2.2.4 Pipeline connections
After the filter is positioned and secured to its designated location consult your Certified Installation Arrangement
Drawings and connect the filter to the pipeline network. In general the filter should be connected to the following points:

Upstream pipe – the entry point of unfiltered water to the filter

Downstream pipe – the exit point of clean water from the filter and the connection point to the end-user’s
system

Drainage system – a manifold exit point for flushed filter cake and “filter to waste” water

Flushing pump supply – the entry point of clean filtered water to the flushing pump
It is necessary to prevent static backpressure or reverse flow through the filter and therefore it is recommended to install
a non-return valve at the outlet of the filter.
It is necessary to protect the filter from excessive line water pressure, therefore the user is required to install a quick
pressure release valve to ensure that the filter is not exposed to higher than 10 bar water pressure.
Note - Make sure that all pipe connections are bolted and secured properly according to the standards and the good
water works practices.
2.2.5 Power Supply– Electricity and Pneumatics (if applicable)
The filter’s Power and if applicable its Compress Air connections are described in a set of certified drawings prepared for
your filtration site by Amiad’s Application Engineering Department according to the required specifications.
Please study these drawings and then ask your qualified electrician to connect the appropriate protection devices and
the electrical cables to the control unit of the filter.
When applicable connect the compressed air supply to the appropriate terminals in the filter solenoids’ cabinet
according to your certified drawings.
Important notes:

Do not switch on the power and the compressed air supply at this stage!

Switching on these systems prior to the commissioning procedure of the filter may cause damage!

Please take extra care when connecting the power and the compressed air to the filter, always exercise the
relevant safety instructions
