Water flow setting.
BASIC WATER FLOW ADJUSTMENT
Basic adjustment of the water flow through the EMERALD HOME 60 device is carried out by
regulating:
u
Cold water shut-off valve on the common tap (use above the sink) - see Fig. 19;
u
Shut-off valve on the pure water tap (use under the sink) - see Fig. 19;
Important! For high-quality water purification and electric treatment, set the water flow through
the device in the range of 1 liter/min (60 liters/hour). Do not set the water flow too low (less than 50-
60 liters/hour), as in this case the water flow sensor located in the device will not work and the device
will not turn on.
During operation of the device, the water flow rate may gradually decrease. To restore normal
flow rate, it is necessary to flush the system (see the INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE section).
If you are unable to set a sufficient level of water flow - see the TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Section, Tab. 1.
System Operation Indication.
The multifunctional LED
The first indicator of the proper functioning of the
EMERALD device is the multifunctional LED integrated into
the installation casing. The multifunctional indicator allows
you to evaluate:
u
Device resource, after which it is necessary to flush the
system;
u
Device flushing process, allowing the user to verify that
all stages of the FLUSHING mode are correctly completed;
u
Correct connection of hydraulic and electrical joints.
Electronic ammeter / voltmeter
This measuring device allows the user to see how efficiently
the process of electrical water treatment in the device takes
place. The voltmeter shows the voltage in volts (hereinafter
"V") that is applied to the electrochemical modules. The
ammeter shows the current strength in amperes (hereinafter
"A"), which passes in the electrochemical modules during
water treatment.
Voltmeter readings in OPERATION mode are always
around 24V.
The ammeter readings in the OPERATION mode take on
different values due to:
1) Different total mineralization (TDS) of the source water. The higher the TDS of the source water,
the higher the passing current will be during its electrical treatment (and vice versa).
2) Different degrees of contamination of the electrochemical module and the device as a whole.
The greater the degree of contamination, the weaker the passing current will be and, accordingly,
the efficiency of water purification and activation.
Based on the readings of the current strength (A), the user can estimate:
- The efficiency of the device. The higher the current strength in the OPERATION mode, the more
effective the processes of water purification and activation are (including the process of reducing the
ORP of water).
- The device’s contamination degree; The device must be flushed from accumulated contamina-
tions if the current strength in the OPERATION mode has significantly decreased relative to the ini-
tial values;
