1. HANDLING
1.1. PACKAGING
The lters are delivered on wooden pallets suited to the size of the lter, and in a
vercal posion as standard. They are wrapped in a protecve lm.
1.2. STORAGE
If a lter is not going to be installed immediately, it must be kept in its original
packaging and stored under cover, protected from the sun and inclement weather.
1.3. HOW TO MOVE THEM
•Use a forkli truck or crane to load, unload and move the lters.
•Use the liing eyebolts of the lters to li and transport them to the desired
locaon. Use a cable or sling appropriate to the weight of the lter. The lter must
always be empty of sand and water when being moved or handled.
•Never roll the lter to move it.
•When moving the lter, never hold it by the inlet or outlet connecons, the
top hole or sight glasses.
•Never aach a hook to the inside of the lter to li or pull it.
•The lters are made to resist internal pressure, but they are very vulnerable to
side-on impact. Avoid knocking the lters.
•When placing the lter in its nal locaon, ensure that the surface of the ground
is perfectly at and clean. It is therefore necessary to leave enough space around
the lter to allow for inspecon and maintenance operaons to be carried out.
2. INSTALLATION
2.1. ENGINE ROOM
The engine room must have a large enough surface area to allow for installaon
according to the size of the lters, and to facilitate installaon and handling of the
valve manifolds, as well as proper maintenance.
There must be a drainage system to prevent ooding in the case of accidental
water leakage from the pipes, lters and pumps, as well as good venlaon.

INSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
2.2. INSTALLATION OF VALVE MANIFOLDS
Install the valve manifold before loading the lter with the lter aid. The valve
manifold brackets will support the weight of the valves, the pipes and the water
inside them, and will reduce the force that the lter connecons will need to
withstand. It is necessary to install these brackets on a suciently resistant surface
and adjust their height correctly.
2.3. HYDRAULIC TEST
Test the lters with water by running the system before lling them with lter aid.
This hydraulic test will detect any problems with water ghtness that may have
arisen with the lter or the set up.
2.4. FILLING THE FILTER
•Remove the upper cap of the lter and the side cover (if applicable).
•Check the condion of the internal parts before starng to load the lter aid into
the lter. The diuser and collector must be in perfect condion, and the nozzles
must be in their correct place and fully ghtened.
•Before loading the lter aid into the lter, ll it approximately halfway with water.
If it is a model with a side hole, ll it up to the level of the side hole. This will
prevent damage to the nozzles or collector arms while the lter is being loaded
with the lter aid.
•Use a lter aid that is recommended according to the technical informaon
supplied in the lter specicaons.
•The rst layer of gravel should cover the collector and reach to about 10cm
above it and be spread evenly across the whole surface. Care should be taken
when carrying out this procedure so as not to damage the collector.
•Load the following layers of sand following the same procedure,
unl the maximum recommended height is reached.
•Once the height of the side hole has been reached, replace the cap to
connue lling the lter.
•Carefully clean the neck of the lter, the cap and the cap seal, removing any
remaining traces of lter aid. Finally replace the seal and then replace and ghten
the cap.
•Once the lter is full and correctly closed, it must be cleaned.

3. OPERATION
Before opening or closing the valve manifolds, it is essenal to always turn o the
pump and ensure that there is no water owing inside the pipes.
3.1. FILTRATION
The valve manifolds must be placed in the following posion:
Periodically check the pressure differential between the inlet and outlet
connections. When this reaches 0.8 - 1.0 bar, the filter will need to be cleaned.
3.2. CLEANING
In order to properly clean the lter, a ow of 40-50 m3/h/m2 is recommended
for lters equipped with collector arms, and up to 60 m3/h/m2 for lters with a
nozzle plate.
The maximum ow for cleaning is limited by the speed of the maximum ow
allowed through the pipes of the valve manifold, depending on the diameter.
Filters equipped with a nozzle plate can be cleaned with air as well as water. The

air is used to loosen and u up the sand bed, to achieve more ecient cleaning.
This saves on the amount of water used during cleaning.
3.3. RINSE
The valve manifolds must be placed in the following posion:
Carry out this operation after cleaning, to eliminate any remaining traces of dirt
that may have been able to get into the collectors during cleaning. Operation time:
3 minutes.
3.4. CLOSED
The valve manifolds must be placed in the following position:
During all maintenance operations, all of the valves must be closed.

3.5. REMOVING THE SAND FROM THE FILTER
•Empty the lter by opening the drain situated on the boom of the lters.
•Remove the upper cap to remove the sand.
•One person should help to remove the sand from the lter from the inside.
A side hole (oponal) is very useful for helping to remove the sand, and for
maintenance tasks.

11
INSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS
Pressure lters must only be operated by qualied personnel. Operators must
have received training in the tasks involved in operang the lter, and be informed
of the dangers and harm that it can entail.
•Use a pressure gauge panel to control the lter pressure.
•The operang pressure of the lter must never exceed the maximum pressures
recommended in the technical data.
•Pressurised containers cannot withstand negave internal pressures, therefore
the appropriate measures must be taken when installing them to avoid this
situaon.
•It is recommended to use equipment with a maximum allowable pressure 20%
higher than the maximum pressure that the equipment will need to operate
under.
•Never connect the lter directly to the water supply, as the pressure from the
mains always exceeds the maximum pressure tolerated by the lter.
•Always bleed the air from the inside of the lter before starng the cycle.
•The pressure dierenal between the inlet and outlet connecons must never
exceed 1.0 bar. A higher dierence in pressure than that could damage the
collector or the nozzle plate.
•The cleaning process should never exceed the maximum operang pressure of
the lter.
•When using air for cleaning, the internal pressure must not exceed 1.0 bar. Use
a blower, and never a compressor, to inject air into the lter.
•The operang temperature range must be kept to at all mes. The minimum
operang temperature for all of the lters is 1°C. The maximum operang
temperature is 40°C.
•In lters that have been treated for contact with ozone (O3), the maximum
concentraon of O3 must never exceed 2ppm. The standard lters are not
suitable for contact with ozone.
•The lters must be installed in a way that allows maintenance, repair and
tesng tasks to be carried out easily and correctly. Install the lter with the
idencaon label visible, and keep this idencaon.
