IMPORTANT NOTICE
Buon Vino filters have been designed to use original Buon Vino filter pads.
Attempts to use filter pads that are not marked Buon Vino Manufacturing
may result in problems with filtration and could affect the performance
of the filter.
Warranty may be void if original filter pads are not used.

Filtering Pad Insertion
Coarse Side
Coarse side always faces towards motor on
all three types of pads.
For optimum filtration we recommend the use of #1, #2 and #3
filter pads that are packaged and marked Buon Vino. Use of
other pads may give you inferior results.

Filter Set-up
It is very important to follow these instructions
Important: Wine must be racked or decanted at least once before filtering.
1. Insert the clear hose with the short white plastic end piece, or drainage tube
(No. 1 in diagram) to the fitting marked A in diagram.
2. Insert the clear hose with the red antisediment tip or intake hose (No. 2 in
diagram) to the fitting on pump marked B in diagram.
3. Detach the 2 white clamps located on the frame next to the motor. This is done
by sliding each side in opposite directions at the point where the clamp joins.
Place one on each of the fittings to ensure against air intake or leakage. A set
of pliers may be used to tighten the clamp around the fitting if you cannot
tighten with your fingers. (Note: Once you hear a snap the clamp has
tightened sufficiently.)
4. Loosen the filter body screw, located on the rear (No. 3 in the diagram) and
remove the steel concave cover plate and the first three plastic filtering plates.
The last plate will not come out.
5. Read filter pad description before continuing to be sure which of the three
Buon Vino pads you should use. Also note gauge directions.
6. Remove the pads from the package and place them in a clean container with
enough fresh water to cover the pads and allow them to soak for
approximately 1 minute. Make sure the pads are not bunched together while
soaking, allow the water to saturate on both sides of the 3 pads.
7. Insert one of the pads, making sure that the coarse side is facing towards the
motor (see diagram). Ensure the holes on the pads are aligned with the holes
on the plastic plates.
8. Insert one of the two central plastic plates, making sure that the half moon on the
top part of the plate lines up with the half moon on the nonremovable plastic plate.
Insert the next pad and the second plastic plate in the same manner, followed by
the last pad and the plastic plate with the support pins. Place the steel concave
plate in position last. All 4 half moons should now be in a straight line, the three
pads should all have the coarse side facing the motor and all the holes should be
aligned, with the pads being as square to the plastic filtering plates as possible.
9. Tighten the filter body screw well, in order to ensure an airtight closing.
10. Insert the intake tube (No. 2) into the wine to be filtered and place the drainage
tube (No.1) into a clean container which will house the filtered wine. You are
now ready to filter.
11. We have also included a small drip tray located under the filtering area. Ensure
that this tray sits properly in position. If an excess amount of wine is trapped in
the filter pads when dismantling, the tray will not collect all the wine. It has
been designed to collect any small amount of leakage that normally occurs in
a plate and frame filtering system.
IMPORTANT: the first liquid to come out of the drainage tube will be the
water being pushed out of the pads. Allow this water to flow out and
discard, before placing the drainage tube in the clean housing container.
It is normal for the bottom of the pads to saturate and drip, and spillage will occur
due to entrapment of wine between the plates when you change the pads. It is
advisable to have some kind of container under the filter body during these times.
12. YOU MUST KEEP THE FILTER PUMP CLEAN. Remove the filter pads, along
with the 2 central plastic plates, end plastic plate and steel concave plate.
Discard filter pads and wash plastic plates with clean water. Dry the steel
concave plate. Flush out the pump with 5 gallons (20 litres) of clean water. This
is simply done by placing the intake tube in the water. Start the pump and allow
the water to flow through the pump and out.
13. From time to time lubricate threads on filter body screw.
14. Wipe frame and steel concave plate well before storing filter.
Filter Pads
A. The #1 pads are coarse pads, mainly used for heavy wines. These pads will
not show significant change in the wine. They are used to collect and/or
break down large particles.
BThe #2 pads are finer, used for the brightening and polishing of the wine.
A significant change should be noticed in clarity and brightness.
C. If you prefer to further enhance the wine or if you plan on bottling, use our
#3 pads. (These pads should only be used after the wine has been filtered
with our #2 pads at least once.) The #3 pads assist in removing up to 80%
of the yeast in the wine. All 3 grades of pads are not reusable, discard when
finished. Please note gauge directions for pads.
Gauge Directions and Check Valve
AWhen you filter with the #1 and #2 pads, the procedure is the same. The
gauge will increase pressure on its own, therefore from time to time check the
PSI on gauge. When it reaches 18 - 20 PSI turn off the motor and change the
pads, using the same procedure as indicated in the instructions and the filter
pad description.
BWith the #3 pads you cannot exceed a differential pressure of 10 PSI. To
calculate differential pressure allow approximately 2 gallons of wine to flow
through the pads. At this point the needle should stabilize. Note the pressure on
the gauge and add 10 PSI. Do not exceed the number calculated, i.e. if gauge
stabilizes at 5 PSI (5PSI + 10 PSI =15 PSI), do not exceed 15 PSI on gauge.
C. The Check Valve creates the self prime in the pump. This valve will eventually
wear and will need to be replaced. Call your local dealer or Buon Vino first
before taking anything apart. See our website trouble-shooting page -

Suggestions for Good Filtration
AFiltration is the last step in wine making. Its purpose is to further clarify and help
remove unnecessary by-products and a high percentage of yeast in the wine.
BIn order to achieve optimum results we suggest that a waiting period of at least 5 days
must elapse between filtrations as you progress to tighter (lower micron size) pads.
CTo further enhance and maintain the wine, it should be properly balanced and
stabilized before filtering. Use a commercially accepted stabilizer like TANNISOL,
which contains the proper percentages of products in combination form and
simplifies the process of wine stabilization (Follow proper directions).
The Buon Vino Filter Pads, Tannisol or any necessary product and instructions
can be obtained from the same retailer.
