B Basic Information 1 Laws, Regulations, Standards 2 Protection of Drinking Water When handling drinking water, certain rules are unavoidable for the sake of health protection. These operating instructions take the applicable regulations into account and give you all the directions required for the safe operation of your water treatment system. Among other things the rules prescribe that only authorised specialist companies are allowed to modify water supply equipment substantially. checks, inspections and maintenance works of installed devices must be carried out regularly. Drinking water is still the most important food which cannot be replaced by anything else. Also in trade and industry, water or drink-ing water is vital. For the protection of drinking water those parties who are involved directly, such as water supply companies, system mounting compa-nies (plumbers) and users are forced to observe legal and technical regulations. Dirt getting into the drinking water supply due to construction works or damage is not only unpleasant, but may also have dangerous consequences, since deposits are a potential place especially for germs, such as viruses and bacteria, to settle and breed. Dirt, small solid particles, as e.g. small rust particles or grains of sand, may cause corrosion and malfunction of the piping and fittings. For these reasons the German standard DIN EN 806 prescribes the in-tegration of filters in domestic water installations made of metal and copper pipes. It is recommended also in the case of plastic pipes. Grünbeck filters offer a persistently safe protection against dirt parti-cles in drinking water. 3 Filtration The filtration principle is based on nature. When rainwater passes through the individual layers of earth into the ground water, coarse impurities are held back in the soil. While the filtration speed in nature is very slow and the retained impurities cannot be removed, technical filters can either be back-washed or dirty filter elements can be replaced. 7

C Product Description 1 Type Designation Plate The type designation plate is located at the casing of the backwash filter. Inquiries or orders can be answered more quickly if you state the data indicated on the type designation plate. Please complete the form below in order to have the necessary data always at hand. GENO -Backwash Filter MX Serial Number: Order Number: / 2 Design GENO backwash filter, type MX, for inline installation into the piping. The brass materials used are low on dezincification. 3 Appropriate Application Note: GENO backwash filters MX are designed for the filtration of drinking and industrial water. They protect the water pipes and the connected water-carrying system components from malfunction and corrosion caused by undissolved impurities (particles) such as rust particles, sand, etc. They are equipped with a 100 µm filter element as standard. After consultation with Grünbeck, it is also possible to use the backwash filters with special filter elements (50 µm, 200 µm or 500 µm) for filtration of well, process and cooling water. They are not suitable for chemically treated circulation water. If used for water containing coarse dirt particles, a coarse dirt trap must always be installed upstream of the backwash filter. The filters are neither suitable for oils, fats, solvents, soaps and other greasy media nor for filtering water-soluble substances. For filter elements 50 µm, 100 µm, 200 µm, 500 µm, refer to spare parts. The GENO backwash filters MX are exclusively suited for pressurised applications. 8

4 Principle of Operation and Functional Description of the Filter Unit Note: Unfiltered raw water reaches the filter via the connection (item 1), flows through the filter element (item 3) from the inside to the outside and is filtrated thereby. Impurities adhere to the filter element (item 2, while larger and heavier dirt particles fall down onto the sieve bottom and have to be removed during maintenance. By turning the adjusting knob (item 4) to the right, the upper suction nozzle with brush (item 5) is turned; thereby the lower suction nozzle (item 6) is lifted and the drain outlet (item 7) is opened. During the rotary movement, the brush of the suction nozzle brushes over the filter surface radially, the filter element is cleaned. The impurities that are removed from the brush and sucked off by the suction nozzle (item 5) and those having already settled in the filter funnel (item 2) during the filtration process are also washed out. If the upper suction nozzle (item 5) was moved by turning the adjusting knob (item 4) slowly until the stop, the adjusting knob (item 4) has to be turned in the opposite direction until the discharge outlet (item 7) is closed. The backwash process is completed. The backwash proceeds by a reversal of the flow direction, i.e. filtrated water passes through the filter element from the outside to the inside via the suction nozzle (item 5). Only those areas are cleaned where the suction nozzle is actually moving over. During the backwash process, the supply of filtrated water is maintained. 9

D Installation 1 General Installation Instructions The installation site must provide enough space. The required connections have to be made before starting the installation. Dimensions and connections are listed in table C-1. The installation site must be frost-proof. Protection of the system from chemicals, colorants, solvents and vapours must be ensured. 1.1 Sanitary Installation Instructions For installation of the GENO backwash filter MX, certain rules must be observed by all means. Additional recommendations facilitate the operation of the system. The installation instructions described here are shown in Fig. D-2. Mandatory rules Die Installation des GENO -Rückspülfilters MX ist ein wesentlicher Eingriff in die Trinkwasserinstallation und darf deshalb nur von einem zugelassenen Installationsbetrieb durchgeführt werden. Caution! GENO backwash filters MX are suitable for applications under pressure exclusively. When mounted on the suction side, backwashing is not possible. Note: In the factory, the GENO backwash filters MX are pre-assembled with a flow direction from left to right. If the flow direc-tion is to be from right to left, the mounted differential pressure sen-sor should be remounted (please observe the flow direction arrow on the differential pressure sensor casing). It should be possible to read the pressure gauges from the front. Local installation rules, general guidelines, the technical data and due application (see chapter C 3-5) of the GENO backwash filter MX must be observed. To drain the flushing water, a drain connection of minimum DN 50 is required. If used with water containing coarse dirt particles, a coarse particle filter must precede the GENO backwash filter MX. 15

2 Preparatory Work 1. Unpack all components of the system. 2. Check for completeness and perfect condition. 3 Connect System 3.1 Sanitary Connection, Connection of Water Supply Caution! According to DIN EN 806, the feeding pipe must be rinsed before start-up. The system may be damaged by impurities and corrosion particles. 1. Connect water supply according to the installation example (Fig. D-2 ) and observe the instructions and recommendations of chapter D-1 as well as the flow direction. Note: The flushing water connection is enclosed separately in the packing. Fixing screw The flushing water connection is slid over the collar of the filter cylinder and fastened by means of the fixing screw. Pointed screw Fig. D-1: Flushing water conn. 2. Connect drain. Note: A HT pipe DN 50 can be fastened using the two lateral pointed-top screws. 3. Install GENO backwash filters MX only horizontally and stressfree. 4. Ensure free discharge and back pressure-free drainage of the flushing water. Fig. D-2: Installation example of GENO backwash filter MX Drain funnel suitable for direct connection to HT pipe DN 50 mm. Drain connection acc. to DIN 1988. 16

E Starting up Starting up the Device The work described here may only be carried out by trained tech-nical personnel. We recommend having Grünbeck s technical service/authorised service company or an authorised specialist start up the system. Note: The GENO backwash filters MX are supplied generally with open drain. First close the drain by turning the adjusting knob anticlockwise. Note: 1. Open shutoff valves upstream and downstream of the device. 2. Vent pipe at the nearest connection point downstream of the device. 3. Check visually. Make sure that no water leaks at any point of the device. 4. Carry out backwash process (see chapter F): By turning the adjusting knob slowly to the right (to the stop) a backwash process is started. Close the backwash filter again by turning the button to the left. 5. The backwash filter is now ready for operation. During the backwash process, the supply of filtrated water is maintained. 17

F Operation 1 Carry out Backwash Process Note: According to DIN EN 806-5 inspection and maintenance for backwash filters must be carried out every six months. Grünbeck recommends a backwash process of the backwash filter every second month. Depending on the existing operating conditions, it may be required to carry out a backwash process at an earlier date. In order to carry out this backwash, the adjusting knob must be turned slowly clockwise against the stop. Afterwards the backwash filter is to be closed again by turning the button slowly anticlock-wise. Even during the backwash process, filtrated water is always available. Depending on the degree of contamination of the GENO backwash filter, several backwash processes might become necessary. Note: In case of heavy impurities, the standard drain outlet of 6.5 mm can be enlarged to max. 7.5 mm. This measure increases the cleaning efficiency per backwash process and at the same time the quantity of backwash water per backwash process. adusting knob Fig. F-1: Carry out backwash process 18

G Troubleshooting Note: Even for those systems which have been designed and manufactured most carefully and are operated correctly, malfunctions cannot be excluded completely. Table G-1 lists possible disturbances during operation of the GENO backwash filter, type MX, their causes and troubleshooting measures. Grünbeck s technical service/authorised service company must be notified, if any of the disturbances cannot be eliminated by the instructions given in table G-1! State type of system, serial number and displayed error message, if possible. Table G-1: Troubleshooting Disturbance Cause Troubleshooting The differential pressure in the backwash filter is too great. Despite several backwash processes, the differential pressure in the backwash filter does not decrease. Water leakage at the lower suction nozzle, Backwash filter cannot be closed via the adjust-ing knob. Actuating the adjusting knob is not possible or stiff. Leakage between drive pin and casing Only little water is released during backwash Filter element contaminated! Filter element heavily contaminated, blocked! Particle is stuck between suction nozzle and funnel. Mechanical blockade in the backwash filter. Sealing at the lower suction nozzle defective or worn out. Mechanical blockade in the backwash filter. Thread in the suction nozzle worn out. O-ring seal of upper suction nozzle worn out. The sieve bottom is dirty or clogged Carry out backwash process (see chapter F-1). Open the filter, check filter ele-ment. If necessary, clean the ele-ment manually by means of a brush, if required exchange filter element. Observe hygienic aspects! Open the filter and inspect it for foreign particles and/or damage on the inner parts (see chapter H-3). Check the sealing at the drain nozzle; if necessary replace the suction nozzle unit. Open the filter and inspect it for foreign particles and/or damage on the inner parts (see chapter H-3). Check the thread of the suction nozzle regarding wear, if necessary replace it (see chapter H-3). Dismantle upper suction nozzle, replace O-rings (see chapter H-3). Open the filter and clean the sieve bottom Caution! When opening the filter and especially when re-assembling it, the installation hints must be observed in any case, otherwise there might be the risk of damage at the backwash filter (see chapter H). 19

H Inspection / Maintenance 1 Basic Information 2 Inspection (Functional Check) To ensure a perfect long-term operation of the GENO backwash filter, some routine maintenance works are necessary. Especially in the field of drinking water supply, the required measures are defined by standards and guidelines. The local rules must be observed by all means. According to DIN EN 806, part 5, the filter must be backwashed at least every 6 months. In case of a decline in the water flow due to an increased pressure loss, a backwash process is required earlier. Grünbeck recommends a backwash process every second month. for systems with DVGW certification code, maintenance every 6 months is sufficient. Maintenance works may only be carried out by Grünbeck s technical service/authorised service company or an approved specialist company. Note: By signing a maintenance contract, you make sure that all necessary works are carried out in due time. Routine inspections can be carried out by the user. It is recommended to check the device initially at short intervals, afterwards as required. Inspection is mandatory every 6 months. Inspection works: Check visually, make sure that no water leaks at any point of the filter. Carry out backwash process (see also chapter F-1). Check the differential pressure of the device via the pressure gauges by opening the nearest extraction point. In case the differential pressure of the device cannot be reduced by one or several backwash processes, there is a disturbance. For further proceedings, see table G-1 Troubleshooting. 20

3 Maintenance In accordance with DIN EN 806, part 5, maintenance works on drinking water treatment plants may only be carried out by Grünbeck s technical service/authorised service company or an approved specialist company. 3.1 Overview: Maintenance Works 1. Check tightness of the filter. To check the tightness of the device, apply the highest possible operating pressure to the filter. Observe max. admissible operating pressure! In particular, check tightness: at water meter screw unions or flange at pressure gauges and dummy plugs between filter casing and funnel at drain outlet between driving pin and casing, remove adjusting knob, if necessary. 2. Carry out backwash process (see chapter F-1). 3. Check differential pressure of the device by extracting water. To check the differential pressure, open several adjacent extraction points. The differential pressure can be read from the two pressure gauges and thus impurities in the filter can be detected. We recommend to carry out a backwash at a differential pressure of > 0.4 bar. Note: To check points 4 and 5, it is required to open the GENO back-wash filter (see also chapter H-3). We recommend to proceed in the following order: 4. Visually check state of filter element (impurities, possible damage) and clean it, if necessary. 5. Check thread of upper and lower suction nozzle for wear. 21

3.2 Filter installation Caution! Follow the steps and instructions mentioned below by all means to Open filter and Dismount suction nozzle. Otherwise there is a risk of damaging the backwash filter. How to open the filter Close the shutoff valves upstream and downstream of the filter. Actuate the adjusting knob by turning it approx. three times in order to empty the filter. Unscrew funnel by turning it to the left. Unscrew lower suction nozzle (refer to fig. H-3) from upper suction nozzle, remove the sieve bottom and check the coating of the thread as well as the O-ring on the pipe nozzle for wear and tear. If the thread is in proper order, clean the thread and lubricate it with food-compatible Grease, e. g. UNI-Silicon L641; Order no. 128 619. Remove filter element and check for persistent impurities and possible damage. Also check the condition of the O-rings of the filter element. Depending on the type of filter, different filter element combinations are assembled (see Fig. H-1). If a filter element is damaged, you can replace either the single element or the complete element set. The element sets can be detached via snap locks.

Note: In case of thread wear, the complete suction nozzle unit must be replaced. How to close the filter Mount filter element: Depending on the type of filter, insert the single filter element or the pre-assembled filter set with the mounted O-rings over the suction nozzle into the casing. Make sure that the large diameter is always positioned upwards in the filter casing and the smaller diameter downwards, in the direction of the filter funnel. Insert the sieve bottom between the lower and the upper suction nozzle. Screw lower suction nozzle onto upper suction nozzle by turning it to the right. Only open the drain nozzle until the O-ring on the upper suction nozzle is just not visible anymore. Note: The filter element must always be mounted in the casing with the large diameter, 98 mm, upwards first. large 98 mm small 89 mm Fig. H-2: Filter element 23

Caution! Mount filter funnel: Here it is of particular importance that the spanner flat of the lower suction nozzle is fitted carefully into the two-flat bolt of the filter funnel. This is the only way to mount the filter funnel correctly. As shown in Fig. H-3, both spanner flats must be positioned parallel to each other. Fig. H-3:How to mount filter funnel Start up backwash filter: The backwash filter can be started up again according to the instruc-tions in chapter E, Starting up. 24

3.3 Dismount Suction Nozzles The suction nozzle must be dismounted, if the thread is worn or if the two O-rings must be replaced due to wear. After opening the filter and dismounting the filter element (refer to chapter H, 3.2), remove the adjusting knob (item 1) and the retaining plate (item 2). Now push the suction nozzle (item 3) upwards and remove the two half-disks (item 4). Burr formation possible Fig. H-4: Drawing with item numbers for dismounting suction nozzle Caution! At the suction nozzle, namely at the mounting location of the half-disks, burrs may have formed due to wear. Before dismounting the suction nozzle, the burrs must be removed using a file. The suction noz-zle may be pulled downwards only then. We recommend deburring the pipe nozzle at the mounting location of the half-disks with a file before mounting the new O-rings. 25
