Commissioning/start-up
How to proceed:
1. Close the slide valve for the DN 75 dirt outlet at the bottom of the container.
2. Check that the entire filter system (pipes and hoses) is complete.
3. Fill the container with water:
−
Pump fed system: Switch on the filter pump.
−
Gravity fed system: Open the slide valves (supply and return) of the filter series to allow the water
to flow.
4. Check all pipes, hoses and their connections for leaks.
−
Expansion seals may leak initially until they have fully expanded on contact with water.
5. When all filter containers are filled with water, switch on the other electrical units (e.g. filter pumps). If
using filter starters (e.g. OASE BioKick), do not operate any UVC clarifiers for at least 24 hours so as
not to disturb the colonisation of the filter media by micro-organisms.
