2.2 Function description
Unfiltered water flows into the device
through the rotary flange. A coarse filter
prevents large dirt particles from reaching
the fine filter. The water flows from the out-
side to the inside through a cylindrical sieve
insert. Dirt particles remain on the sieve
fabric of the sieve insert. The adhering
residues are visible from outside through
the transparent filter bowl.
The filtered water continues to flow into
the pressure reducer. The set downstream
pressure can be read at the downstream
pressure gauge.
Subsequently the filtered water exits the
device again via the rotary flange fitting.

Installation
3.4 Draining of the backwash
water
CAUTION
An adequately sized waste water
connection (e.g. floor drain) in
compliance with DIN 1986 must be
provided.
In order to ensure safe drink-
ing water hygiene, a free dis-
charge of the waste water acc. to
DIN EN 1717 must be ensured.
The drain must be large enough so that all
of the wastewater can be drained simulta-
neously.
If a wastewater connection directly beneath
the device is not possible, the backwash
water can be drained away via a hose or a
pipe that is connected from the backwash-
ing water valve over a few meters to the
closest wastewater connection. The dimen-
sioning of this pipe must correspond to the
backwashing water valve.
If a bucket is used to drain off the back-
wash water:
•Attention: If the mains pressure is high,
water may spray out of the bucket. Pro-
tect objects near the bucket from water
damage!
•Carry out the backwashing quickly and
finish the backwashing process as soon
as the bucket is half full. Otherwise the
bucket could overflow.

Installation
3.5 Commissioning
Prior to initial commissioning (or to com-
missioning after maintenance work) fill the
installed device with water and vent:
1. Open the upstream shut-off valve to fill
the device with water. The device is now
under mains pressure.
2. Attention: Carry out a backwashing
immediately so that the trapped air can
escape (see chapter 4.2.2)! This pre-
vents damage to the installation by
water hammer pressure surges.
After backwashing, the device is vented
and ready for operation.
12 JUDO JPM-QC 1703301 • 2020/07

Operation
4 Operation
4.1 Setting the downstream pres-
sure
To compensate for pressure fluctuations
and to protect the downstream installation,
the downstream pressure can be regulated
via the pressure reducer. The factory pre-
set downstream pressure of 4 bar can be
changed to a value between 1.5 bar and
6 bar depending on the upstream pressure:
1. Undo the countersunk screw on the
handwheel of the pressure reducer.
2. Turn the handwheel clockwise
(= pressure increase), or turn counter-
clockwise (= pressure reduction).
3. Open a drawing point behind the device
for a short time. This results in a pres-
sure relief and the set downstream pres-
sure can be read off from the down-
stream pressure gauge.
4. When the desired downstream pressure
has been reached, retighten the coun-
tersunk screw on the pressure reducer
handwheel to prevent automatic adjust-
ment of the downstream pressure.
4.2 Cleaning of the sieve insert
(backwashing)
A regular cleaning process is necessary to
remove the residues from the sieve fabric
of the device. This process is called back-
washing.
Suction pipes are provided for backwash-
ing, which rotate around the sieve fabric
of the fine filter. The backwashing valve
opens on the bottom side of the device.
By reversing the water flow from inside to
outside, deposits on the sieve fabric are
carried away and rinsed out with the back-
wash water. The suction pipes also clean
the inside of the transparent filter bowl with
wiper lips during their movement.
The degree of contamination and cleaning
process can be observed from the outside.
INFO_NO_HEADER
The device is backwashed with
filtered water. The filtered water
supply of the domestic installation
remains intact during the backwash-
ing process. No dirty water can reach
the pure water side during the back-
washing.
4.2.1 Backwashing interval
If cleaning is not performed soon enough,
the result may be damage to the sieve
insert. Large quantities of filtered particles
can deform the sieve fabric and in extreme
case lead to tearing of the sieve fabric.
In addition, larger deposit quantities can
impair the backwashing function mechani-
cally.
According to DIN EN 13443-1 backwashing
the device is required at the latest every six
months.
The manufacturer recommends a back-
washing:
•at least every 2 months
•if the water pressure drops
•if the filter is visibly dirty
Experience has shown that new installa-
tions in the early stages of installation lead
to increased dirt deposits. In this case, a
more frequent backwashing is necessary.
4.2.2 Backwashing
WARNING
Persons who, due to their phys-
ical, sensory or mental abilities
or their inexperience or lack of
knowledge, are unable to operate
the device safely may not operate
it without supervision or instruc-
tion from a responsible person.
1703301 • 2020/07 JUDO JPM-QC 13

Operation
Before carrying out a backwash,
ensure that the wastewater con-
nection is functional.
At the end of the backwashing
process, turn the handwheel until
it engages so that no more back-
wash water escapes. Otherwise,
water may constantly escape and
cause water damage.
1. Turn handwheel counter-clockwise up to
stop. Backwashing water escapes.
2. Turn handwheel clockwise up to stop.
Ensure that no water escapes.
The backwashing process is completed
(see chapter 4.2).
4.3 Conversions, changes
WARNING
Unauthorised conversions and
changes are forbidden for safety
reasons. These can impair the
functioning of the device, leading
to leaks and, in the worse case
scenario, to bursting of the device.
In the event of repairs, printed test marks
only remain valid when original spare parts
are used.
4.4 Maintenance, repair,
spare parts
WARNING
The device may only be repaired
by qualified technical personnel.
Only use original spare parts for
repairs.
Before performing work on the
device that goes beyond pure
operational use, the device
must be depressurised! If this is
ignored, the result may be uncon-
trolled egress of water result-
ing in water damage to the build-
ing/home.
4.4.1 Checking the backflow pre-
venter
WARNING
A defective backflow preventer
must be replaced immediately.
The backflow preventer may only
be replaced by trained technical
personnel.
The inlet pressure gauge is used to check
the function of the backflow preventer
(0 - 16 bar).
1. Close the stopcock or shut-off valve
upstream of the device.
2. Remove the pre-pressure gauge.
After a few seconds, no more water
may escape from the pressure gauge
connection.
3. Install the pre-pressure gauge again.
4. Open the stopcock or shut-off valve
upstream of the domestic water station
again.
4.5 Temporary removal of the
device
WARNING
If the device is removed due to an
interruption of operation:
•Protect the flange surfaces
against damage to ensure proper
sealing.
•Protect the device from dirt so
as not to impair drinking water
hygiene.
•Store the device in a frost-free
place to prevent damage caused
by freezing water and leakage.

6.1 Cleaning
CAUTION
Do not use household cleaning
agents to clean the outside of the
device, but only use clear water to
avoid embrittlement of the plastic.
6.2 Warranty and maintenance
Prerequisite for obtaining the statutory war-
ranty claim is regular backwashing (see
chapter 4.2). The DIN EN 13443-1 pre-
scribes that the backwashing must take
place every six months. JUDO however
recommends to comply with the information
in chapter 4.2.1 Backwashing interval.
Furthermore, the set outlet pressure must
be checked annually on the outlet pressure
gauge, both at zero flow and at peak flow
(large withdrawal). If necessary, the setting
of the outlet pressure must be readjusted.
To ensure the process operates success-
fully as long as possible, regular inspec-
tion and routine servicing of the device are
essential. Where home automation is con-
cerned, this is governed by DIN EN 806-5.
We recommend the conclusion of a main-
tenance contract, which is the best way
to ensure a good operating function, even
beyond the warranty period. The skilled
tradesmen or the factory customer service
are suitable partners for regular mainte-
nance work and the supply of consumables
and wear materials as well as for possible
repairs.
