Commissioning the Filter

3.1 Introduction

With the system fully plumbed (see below) and the valve programmed commissioning can
start.

3.2 Backwash

When  the  system  is  fully  functional  the  backwash  will  happen  at  the  pre-set  time (see
programming the valve section). However, running a manual backwash during commissioning
is  the  best  way  of  removing  air  from  the  system,  bedding  in  the  media  and  flushing the
system.

Make sure the water inlet and outlet are closed. Press and hold the regeneration button for 5
seconds. The motor will turn and the piston will move to the backwash position. Slowly half
open  the  water  inlet  to  the  system,  and  then  slowly  open  the  outlet  to  allow  the  air  to  be
purged from the system. Once this has been done you can fully open the inlet and outlet and
allow the system to continue through the backwash cycle, this will allow you to check for leaks
and also  purge  any  remaining  air from  the  system. After  a  backwash  the  system  will  move
through a short rinse cycle and then stop in the service position.

For new systems or after a media change it maybe necessary to run two backwashes to fully
wash the media (check the water at the end of the backwash is running clear).

For TURBIDEX please see below.

Initial backwash instructions for Turbidex filtration media.
Due  to  the  naturally  occurring  dust  and  fine  particles  found  in  zeolites  it  is  important  to
thoroughly  clean  the  new  bed  to  prevent  plugging  of  the  distributor  slots.  Zeolite  fines  are
crystalline in structure and may get wedged in the slots, becoming very difficult to remove.

Important:

Throughout this procedure, do not place the unit  into rinse or service until you are

sure the bed has been cleaned of fines.
Always  start  the  unit  in  backwash  and  slowly  open  the  by-pass  valve  until  the  unit  is  full  of
water  (as  evidenced  by  a  gradual  flow  to  drain).  Shut  off  the  by-pass  and  allow  the  unit  to
