COMMISSIONING
7.3.1 The objective of commissioning is to fill the filter with water, check for leaks
and prepare it for service. The simplest way to commission the unit is to
initiate a backwash. This will eliminate the air from the system and flush the
media prior to use.
7.3.2 Before opening the inlet water supply switch on the power, which will activate
the piston motor and the timer motor.
7.2.3 Next, start a manual backwash by pressing the regen button for 3 sec or until
the motor starts to turn.
7.2.4
When the motor has stopped switch off the power and
slowly open the
inlet water supply. At first, air will be expelled from the drain line, followed by
water once the vessel is full. Allow water to run to drain on the backwash
cycle for 10-15 minutes in order to rinse the filter media and remove any
fines.
7.2.5
Turn the power back on and allow the complete a manual regen in full by
pressing the regen button for 3 sec and allowing the valve to complete the
cycle.
7.2.9
The filter is now commissioned.
