• The filter sub-modules located inside the SkyHydrant is to remain in a wet environment to avoid the
membrane drying which would result in total and permanent loss of performance. If long-term storage is
necessary after operation, the unit is to be rinsed with a solution of sodium hypochlorite (100ppm) and stored
at a temperature not above 40˚C, out of direct sunlight.
• When SkyHydrants are being used for the first time it is recommended that a chlorinated backwash be carried
out before the filtrate is used.
• The filter sub-module is resistant to oxidising agents such as chlorine, chloramines, bromine, bromamine,
and potassium permanganate. Maximum exposure of sub-modules to bromine, bromamine, potassium
permanganate, and other oxidants should be checked prior to starting operation.
• The SkyHydrant comprises a single MEMCOR
®
membrane sub-module located inside in a low-pressure
housing. The unit is suitable for operation under low positive or negative head pressure. Raw water flows
along the length of the hollow fibres before being forced through the walls of the fibre to produce a filtrate
virtually free of suspended solids. The unit removes virtually all solids and bacteria and significantly
reduces virus levels. Filtrate flow rate is controlled manually.
