●Collecting pipe assembly and tank adapter assembly.
Note: Only for MW-65H to 150H, 150C to 400C, and 35U to 400U.
After long use, the collecting section (bottom section) of the collecting pipe
assembly and tank adapter assembly may be clogged at the net or slit or
broken by the resin being forced into the gravel layer during the last resin
replacement. Therefore, replace the collecting section together with the resin
due to a potential breakage or blockage of the net.
Note: When such breakage occurs, the resin may spill to the secondary side.
Note: Refer to the parts catalog for the parts code.

3. Operational procedure
Note: Although you can pass water in the other unit during the replacement work, pay attention to the
residual capacity of the unit passing water.
• If only one of the units has a reduced residual capacity, first replace the resin of the unit with
the reduced residual capacity.
• If both units have a reduced residual capacity, replace the resin after recovering the residual
capacity by a manual regeneration.
The details of the work depend on the equipment capacity.

3-1 Resin replacement for small MW
This section provides instructions on the resin replacement for a small MW.
3-1-1 Removal of control valve
(1) In the maintenance manual regeneration mode, set the unit on which the replacement is
performed to the backwash process in order to release the water pressure inside the resin tank
as well as to perform air bleeding and discharge of colored water after the resin replacement.
Note: For the method of maintenance manual regeneration, see the Start-up Operation
Manual and Inspection Manual for each country.
(2) Confirm that the equipment is in the backwash process and turn OFF the MW (main power) to
prevent the process from changing during the resin replacement and for safety reasons.
(3) Operate the bypass valve of the unit on which the replacement is performed and bring the unit
to the bypass state. (Figure 2)
Note: When the unit in service is set to the bypass state, raw water is supplied to the
secondary side.Pay attention to the unit state.
(4) Close the maintenance valve on the ejector line. (Figure 2)
(5) Remove the bypass valve of the unit on which the replacement is performed.

(6) Disconnect the tubing and wiring of the unit on which the replacement is performed.
◆Tube piping
Brine line･･･ Tube connecting the brine tank and the main unit
Tube connecting the unit 1 and unit 2 control valves
Ejector line･･･ Tube connecting the maintenance and control valves
Drain hose･･･ Hose connected to the drain port of the control valve
◆WIRING
Remove the control valve cover and disconnect the wiring.
Note: When disconnecting the connector of
the wiring, press and release the lock of the
connector. Pulling the connector by force
may cause a breakage.

(7) Remove the control valve and the collecting pipe of the unit on which the replacement is
performed.
Note: If the control valve section has not been removed since the
manufacture, shipment, or installation, mark the valve body
and the resin tank before removing the valve. (Refer to 3-1-
5)
Note: If it is unclear whether the control valve section has been
previously removed, mark the valve body and the resin tank
during the installation of the control valve after filling the
resin. (Refer to 3-1-5)
3-1-2 Drawing out resin and gravel
(1) Remove the resin and gravel from the resin tank.
(2) After the resin and gravel removal, drain the water inside the resin tank as well.
<Removal method>
The following methods are available. Method 1 is recommended for a large amount of resin.
1. Use vacume
・By external contractor
・Commercial vacuum cleaner
(Strong things that water and sand can aspirate)
2. Use siphon (Refer to figure 7)
While the hose is filled with water, stop the end
on one side and insert the end on the other side
into the resin tank. The resin can be siphoned out
by lowering and releasing the stopped end. Use
another hose to supply water into the resin tank
while siphoning out the resin.
3. Use bath pump
A commercial bath pump may be used. Place a bath pump inside the resin tank and pump
the resin and gravel out of the resin tank. The pumping should be performed while supplying
water to the resin tank.
4. Use resin replacement kit
<Resin replacement kit>
・Supply water in the resin tank and pump the
resin and gravel out of the resin tank by the
force of water. (Refer to figure 8)
・Receive resin and gravel with container or soil
bag etc.

a) Set the resin replacement kit(Parts of notation are included in the resin replacement kit.)
*PVC pipe and conversion tube fitting are not included in the kit.
VP 25 pipe of Japan JIS standard is required for PVC pipes.
*Please confirm that there is space for the length of PVC pipe in the top of the resin tank.
b) Refill water into the resin tank from the ejector line and discharge resin /gravel.
· Please gradually insert so that the tip of the PVC pipe comes near the top surface of
the resin.
· When opening the closed maintenance valve, water is replenished into the resin tank from
the ejector line tube.
・As water and resin are discharged from the hose, please receive it with resin receiving
container or soil bag etc.
· In case of clogging, please stop the replenishment water, open the pressure release
valve and remove the pressure.
c) After discharging the resin/gravel, please drain water from the resin tank with siphon.
· Supply water is stopped (maintenance valve closed), water is drained by siphon when
opening pressure release valve.
If you insert the PVC pipe all the way in,
you may clog resin or gravel
into hose or PVC pipe.
In case of clogging, please be
sure to install a hose band for
preventing removal, as the PVC
pipes may come off. Please do not
leave the place while working.

3-1-3 Check Collecting pipe,Resin tank,O-ring.
Check collecting pipe and resin and O-ring.
Collecting pipe
• Check that the pipe is not deformed.
• Check that there is no cracking or deformation in the mesh
or slit of the distributor and there is no peeling off of the net
from the plastic part.
• If necessary, clean the net section, etc.
• Check that there is no detachment of adhesion or welding.
Resin tank
• Check that there is no damage or dent on the sealing surface of the resin tank (O-ring
contact area).
O-ring
• Check that there is no damage or cracking.
3-1-4 Filling with resin and gravel
(1) Insert the collecting pipe assembly into the resin tank.
Insert a new collecting pipe assembly instead of the removed one.
Cover the collecting pipe with gummed tape, etc. so that
the resin or gravel does not enter the pipe.
(2) Use a funnel to fill the resin tank with gravel first and then with the resin. (Refer to Tables 1, 2,
and 3 for the amount to be filled)
After filling the tank, use a PVC pipe, etc. to level the top surface of the gravel
layer.
Insert the collecting pipe assembly to the resin tank again before
filling the tank with gravel. If you insert the collecting pipe assembly
after filling the tank with gravel, the collecting pipe may be broken.
