7.3 COMMISSIONING
7.3.1 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.
7.3.2 Before opening the inlet water supply switch on the power, which will activate
the piston motor and the timer motor.
7.2.3 Next, start a manual backwash by pressing the UP and DOWN button
together for 3 sec or until the motor starts to turn.
7.2.4 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 until the drain line runs clear in order to rinse the filter media and
remove any fines.
7.2.5 Turn the power back on and allow the complete a manual regen in full by
pressing the down button and allowing the valve to complete the cycle.
7.2.9 The filter is now commissioned.
