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.
Before opening the inlet water supply switch on the power, which will
activate the piston motor and the timer motor.
Next, start a manual backwash by pressing the regen button for 3 sec or until
the motor starts to turn.
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.
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.
The filter is now commissioned.
8 ROUTINE MONITORING
The following recommendations are made to help the user of the filter
confirm that it is performing as required, and to give early warning of
possible problems. The operation of the filter is completely automatic,
and should not require adjustment.
Weekly
Check the treated water quality with a test kit.
Monthly
Check raw water quality, and record. Compare with original quality and
adjust frequency of backwash if required.
Six Monthly
Perform a chlorinated backwash to remove any organic build up on the
media. Check filter media depth against original level.
Annually
Inspect and clean/replace as necessary the piston and the internal
seals. A competent engineer familiar with Clack valves should perform
