 REHARDENING FILTER MANUAL

DESCRIPTION

The water produced by the fresh water generator could not be drunk directly. The Se-won
REHARDENING FILTER is designed for increasing the hardness and pH value of the fresh water produced
by the fresh water generator. The rehardening filter is provided with a hand hole(item no.7) for refilling , vent
valve, safety valve, pressure gauge, and necessary valve and pipe for correct operation.

INSTRUCTION

1. CHARGING WITH FILTER MASS

A) Remove the hand hole(iten no.12) and charge the filter with the amount of granulated dolomite size 2 ~
7 mm stated in the technical data sheet.
B) Fill up to about 5cm below the inlet pipe connection on the top of filter. This is for one charge quantity
as in the drawing’s technical data.

2. STARTING UP
A) Open the vent cock on the cover and fill up the rehardening filter with water from the upper
connection as the water flow has to fill from top to bottom.
B) Open drain(sample cock) valve such that the filter is still full of water in order to rinse the
filter mass, leaving the valve open for an hour or as long as it takes for the water to be clear.
C) Close the drain(sample cock) valve and open the outlet valve, where after the filter is ready for
service.

3. SERVICE
A) When recharging the filter mass make sure that the strainer in the bottom outlet is not damage.
B) Once a week the filter should be back flushed, or at any time when the pressure drop is excessive.
C) The pH adjusting substance (dolomite) is consumed proportionally to the alkalinity of the water and the
dolomite charge shall be replenished at least once a year in normal operation.
D) For back-washing the operational device(3-way valve) should be directed up-wards. The washing
should last for ten minutes or until the wash-out water is clear.

position of the operating devices must be at by pass.

6. STORAGE FOR LONG TERM

The following recommendations are included to avoid the most common errors that occur during
storage.
DO
INSPECT FOR DAMAGE DURING STORAGE, i.e. DENTS, BROKEN HARDWARE, etc.

STORE IN CLEAN DRY AREA WHERE IT WILL NOT BE EXPOSED TO HEAVY

TRAFFIC OR DAMAGING ENVIRONMENT.

USE ONLY DESIGNATED LIFTING LUGS.

REMOVE ANY FOREIGN MATERIAL.

REMOVE ALL SHIPPING DEVICES AFTER COMPLETE INSTALLATION AND BEFORE

ANY PRESSURE TEST OF THE FULL INSTALLED SYSTEM.

DON’T
DO NOT DROP OR STRIKE CARTON.

DO NOT REMOVE PROTECTING COVER UNTIL INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE.

DO NOT WELD.

DO NOT USE CHAINS OR ANY LIFTING DEVICE DIRECTLY ON THE REHARDENING

FILTER

DO NOT USE CLEANING AGENTS THAT CONTAIN CHLORIDES.

DO NOT USE STEEL WOOL OR WIRE BRUSHES ON BODY.

DO NOT EXCEED A PRESSURE TEST OF 1.5 TIMES THE RATED WORKING

PRESSURE OF THE REHARDENING FILTER.

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE

PROBLEM CAUSE CORRECTION

No pressure in the vessel. upper 3-way valve is closed. check upper 3-way valve.
hydrophore pump is closed. check hydrophore pump.
Line closed. look for stop in line.
leakage from cleaning holes. hole nuts is not tighten. tighten nuts.
granular of the filter material bottom screen tube is damaged. change screen tube.
passing out into the system.
pH-value of the water is not level of filter material is too high if value is below 7.5, add filter
correct. or too low. material
if value is higher than 10, reduce
filter material.
pressure drop is too high. upper filter surface is polluted. back flushing at least for 10
minutes.
*Check the pH value at least every 6 month, and whole dolomite in rehardening filter be replaced
every 5 years. The means of replacement is as per recharging.
