NOTE In case of high salt contents, the drinking water capac-
ity can vary quite heavily from the values mentioned.
During Double Pass operation, the filtrate of both the membrane filter
blocks I and II forms the raw water for the membrane filter block III.
The concentrate of both stages flows to the concentrate outlet; during
this process, the return feed (valve V05) must always be closed. Only
the filtrate of membrane filter block III (3/23) is fed to the drinking wa-
ter outlet.
The Double Pass operating mode is particularly suitable for highly
contaminated water.

UV-irradiator (Option) For germ reduction, the drinking water is conducted through the op-
tional UV-irradiator (3/36). In conjunction with the RO filtration, the
UV-irradiator forms an additional security stage of the conditioning
process. Proper functioning of the UV-irradiator is controlled by a sen-
sor which is mounted on the side of the irradiator. Display is indicated
at the UV-irradiator switch cabinet.
Drinking water/
Industrial water The water quality is tested by means of a conductance measure-
ment (3/26) at the drinking water outlet. For values > 2 000 µS/cm, the
magnetic valve (3/37) automatically closes the drinking water outlet;
the filtrate flows to the industrial water outlet.
In this case the system operator must decide whether the water pro-
duced can be used.
Chlorination/
Remineralisation By means of the metering pump (3/39), the water can be chlorinated
in accordance with the local regulations.
Chlorination of the depot delays regermination during storage of the
drinking water, and in some countries, is stipulated by law (observe
national guidelines!).
For mixing the chlorinating solution, one container (3/40) is integrated
in the pre-treatment module.
