Product Highlights

1. FILTER DEVICE

The filter includes a hollow body (1) equipped with an inlet (2) and outlet (3) fittings. A granular filter nozzle (6) is located inside the housing between two perforated devices (4) and (5). The lower distributive device (4) is movable and spring-loaded by a calibrated spring (7). The lower part of the body (1) is closed with a cover (8) and is joined to the body by a clamp (9) through the seal (10). The filter is mounted vertically on a stand (11), which is screwed to the cover (8) with a screw (12). The lower fitting (3) is connected at one end to the water main (pipeline), the other end of the fitting is closed with a plug (13). The upper connection is powered by a tap that regulates the rate of freshwater withdrawal (Picture 2).

2. PRINCIPLE OF FILTER OPERATION

Installation of the filter in a stationary version. To assemble and install the filter under the kitchen sink, you must purchase in advance:

1. A tee
2. shut-off valve
3. fittings for installing the pipeline from the tee with the above valve to the filter, and from the filter to the tap for clean water
4. a tap for clean water, mounted on the sink.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

In the event of a long break in the operation of the filter , it is recommended to close the tap (point 2). It is forbidden to use the filter when repairing the water supply network. It is recommended to turn on the filter only after the water from the main tap acquires the transparency typical for the water in the region. Otherwise, the filter will delay the annual dose of impurities, which means that the filter cycle is significantly reduced, and the need for filter regeneration will arise much earlier.

The service life of the filter, equipped with a new filtering material (silver carbon-ceramic), is designed to purify 100 m³ of moderately contaminated water. This volume is enough for 4 years of use for a family of 3-5 people. At the same time, the daily withdrawal of clean water can reach up to 150 liters per day. To return the filtering properties, the sorbent is regenerated at home (regeneration at service centers is also possible).

FILTER REGENERATION IN HOME CONDITIONS

To regenerate the filter, that is, to restore its original ability to absorb polydisperse impurities and heavy metal ions in the treated water, it is necessary:

1) disconnect the filter from the water supply network. Before this, you need to close the tap in front of the filter and open the tap for freshwater consumption, open the plug (13) and collect the water flowing out of the filter into a container;

2) place the filter on the table. Pressing the filter to the table with your left hand, release the clamp (9) from the latch with your right hand and remove it. As a result of the pressure of the springs, the body (1) and the cover (8) are separated;

3) take out the lower drainage device (4) from the body (1) and shake out the granular nozzle into a pre-prepared food enamel dish (bucket, saucepan, etc.);

4) the upper drainage device (5) is removed for flushing;

5) add 7-8 liters of tap water and stir the filter material in the water;

6) after 15-20 sec. after the end of mixing, two layers are formed: the upper one is in the form of a reddish-brown suspension, and the lower one is in the form of a layer of settled granules;

7) carefully drain the top layer into the sewer (! In order to avoid the loss of the nozzle, it is recommended to drain the dirty water not immediately into the sewer, but into an intermediate vessel!);

8) add 7-8 liters of water to the nozzle partially freed from dirt, mix. Repeat steps 5-6 as many times as necessary for the water above the filter material to become transparent (about 7-10 times);

9) clear water after the last washing should be drained, and 200 g of citric acid should be added to the sorbent layer;

10) bring the mixture of sorbent and citric acid to a boil. Boil in a closed container at low heat for 45-60 minutes;

11) as the water containing the sorbent boils away, it is necessary to add hot water from the boiling kettle in small portions. This is necessary in order to avoid crystallization of citric acid compounds with iron ions and heavy metal ions in the sorbent phase;

12) after the end of the boiling process, it is necessary to add 5-7 liters of cold tap water and stir the sorbent with a stainless steel tablespoon;

13) after a 5-minute pause, drain the water into the sewer (following point 7);

14) filling the filter with a regenerated nozzle.

     The procedure for filling the regenerated nozzle:

1. 1. insert the upper drainage device (5) into the body (1) (up to the stop, so that the nozzle does not delaminate in the future), since the upper drainage device was removed for flushing;

2) screw the plug (13) onto the upper union (3);

3) the filter nozzle, soaked in water, is transferred in portions (using a tablespoon) into the filter housing. At the same time, with the upper fitting, closed with a plug (13), we knock on a kitchen cutting board to evenly distribute the nozzle over the filter housing;

4) the lower drainage device is installed (up to the stop in the nozzle);

5) a spring (7) is placed in the center of the lower drainage device;

6) over the spring, a cover (8) is installed, which is pressed until the cover (8) closes with the body (1). It is recommended to press the cover against the body (1), in which the spring (7) is inserted, with both hands;

7) this position is closed by a clamp (9). It is necessary for the assistant to put on the collar and tighten it;

8) the assembled filter is installed on a stand;

9) the plug (13) is removed from the upper fitting (3) and put on one of the ends of the inlet fitting (2);

10) the liquid pouring out of the unclosed fitting (2) is collected in a container and drained into the sewer;

11) after performing the above operations, the filter must be connected to the water supply network;

12) for the final removal of citric acid from the granules of the filtering material, it is necessary to pass 20 liters of water through the filter. After the performed operations, the filter is ready for operation within 3-4 years.

To obtain soft-tasting water, while maintaining the natural mineral composition of the water, you must:

1)   disconnect the regenerated filter from the network and through the funnel inserted into the upper fitting (3), spill 1 liter of water with baking soda dissolved in it in the amount of 1 tablespoon (with a slide);

2)   after that, the filter is connected to the water supply network, the first 3 liters of water are discharged into the sewer; Subsequently, the purified water acquires a mild taste, while retaining all the mineral salts necessary for a person.

SERVICE LIFE OF THE FILTER NOZZLE

It has been experimentally established that forty filtration cycles, which means that the regenerations did not lead to the destruction of the granules of the filter nozzle. At the same time, the dirt holding capacity of the nozzle remained unchanged. Taking into account the fact that regeneration must be carried out every 4 years, it is easy to calculate that the service life of the filter is approximately 120 - 160 years. With a threefold safety factor in terms of resources, we assume that the service life of the filter nozzle during 40-50 years is quite realistic. During regeneration, the loss of granular packing was noted in the amount of 0.4 - 0.5°/o. The total loss of silver carbon ceramics over 40-50 years can be 15-20°/o. Thanks to the original design of the filter, namely: the presence of a movable drainage device, which is constantly in a spring-loaded state, does not allow the granules of the filtering material to separate, since the length of the spring and its elasticity are designed for trouble-free operation of the filter even with a loss of 30 - 35°/o of the nozzle. Thus, the service life of the filter is practically unlimited and depends only on the mechanical durability of the housing, as well as the rubber seals.
