2.3 Viewing controller measurements
2.3.1 Flow
This indicates the flow of water through the filter in l/min (gpm).
2.3.2 Pressure drop (p-drop)
This shows the current pressure difference between the feed water and filtered water in bar
(psi).
NOTICE The maximum pressure difference may not exceed 2.5 bar (36.26 psi).
A filter should reduce the pressure as little as possible. Therefore a high pressure difference is
an indication that the filter is fouled and should be flushed (see Flushing the filter module). If
flushing does not reduce the pressure difference sufficiently, the filter should be changed (see
Place a new filter).
2.3.3 Filter state
Shows the filter state as a percent compared to a new filter.

2.3.4 Filter life left
Shows the estimated percentage of the filter-life left, before the filter needs to be replaced.
2.3.5 Current pressure difference
NOTICE This function is not available with UrSpring Home devices.
This shows the current pressure difference between the feed water and filtered water.
To show the pressure difference:
1. Select the menu Operating Data? > Filter State.
2. Use and to display Diff. Pressure and select it with .

NOTICE The maximum pressure difference may not exceed 2.5 bar (36.26 psi).
A filter should reduce the pressure as little as possible. Therefore a high pressure difference is
an indication that the filter is fouled (or the current water consumption exceeds the UrSpring
capacity) and should be flushed (see Flushing the filter module). If flushing does not reduce the
pressure difference sufficiently, the filter should be changed (see Place a new filter).

● For hot water 5 seconds (maximum 10 seconds)
Note that if the cleaning has to be improved, it is not useful to increase the flush length to longer
than the maximum mentioned above. In that case it is better to flush more than once a day (see
Automatic flush when fouled).

2.4.8 Select to delay flush during water use
If you want that an upcoming flush cycle is delayed when there is water usage, you can select
this funcion.
CAUTION! Only activate this option when the filtered water is directly connected to the piping
device of a home. When there is always flow, this function could then suppress flushing
permanently. Therefore, do not activate this function when:
● the filtered water outlet is connected to a storage tank.
● the UrSpring is used in a hot water circulation device.
To stop flush during water use:
1. Go to menu Chg. Flush mode? > Flush when Flow.
2. The display shows: Set:
3. Use and to set option to Set: NO and confirm with .
2.4.9 Flushing the filter module
The filter module gets fouled during use. Flushing will clean the filter.
NOTICE : To set the flush duration see Set the flush length.
Daily flush
Daily cleaning can be selected as a standalone option or additional to automatic cleaning when
the filter is fouled:
● For city water and hot water it is recommended to select daily flush as a standalone
option.
● For well water it is recommended to combine daily flush with automatic flush when
fouled.
To select a daily flush:
1. Select the menu Chg. Flush mode? > Flush daily at.
The display shows: Set hour.
The recommended time of day when flush is done is 00:30 (because in the night
typically no water usage is expected).

Automatic flush when fouled
NOTICE The UrSpring device can be set to perform an automatic cleaning of the filter,
depending on its fouling. The UrSpring monitors the state of fouling of the filter using the
pressure difference between feed water and filtered water, the flow during filtration and the
temperature of the filtered water.
The automatic cleaning mode is generally recommended. It definitely should be used whenever
the water contains particles from time to time, which can also occur in city water applications.
1. Select the menu Chg. Flush mode? > Flush if fouled.
2. The display shows the threshold: when Flow < .. %.
3. Use and to change the threshold percentage and confirm with .

3.1.2 Check the requirements
Before you install the UrSpring make sure that:
● The UrSpring capacity is typical for a 4-6 people household.
● The water feed pressure is at least 2.5 bar (36 psi).
● The water pressure in the piping is less than 5 bar (72 psi).
If the water pressure in the feed line can exceed 5 bar, a pressure
reducing valve must be installed.

3.1.3 Additional components to be included in the water lines
In the feed water line:
● To protect the filter against abrasive particles, which may occur in your
feed-water, such as metal- or plastic-debris or gravel, a strainer with a
maximum mesh size of 300µm needs to be installed. For well water
applications, a flushable prefilter between 100 to 300 µm is highly
recommended.
● A pressure reducing valve must be installed if the pressure may reach
values higher than 5 bar (72 psi). Caution, pressure of the public supply
network can increase during the night!
● A shut off valve needs to be located upstream the UrSpring for installation
and exchange of filter cartridges.
● If connected to a public water supply, a backflow preventer needs to be
installed to prevent suction of water from your piping network into the
community main water lines, in case of unexpected drop of pressure in the
water mains.
In the filtered water line:
● A backflow preventer must be installed.
● A shut off valve needs to be located downstream the UrSpring for
installation and exchange of filter cartridges.
● If there is no outlet in the filtrate line close by, to dispose the rinse water of
the filter, an outlet should be installed.
3.1.4 Requirements for installation
Tools and materials
The following tools and materials (not included) are required for installing the UrSpring:
● Drill, screws, wall plugs, four mounting screws
● Screwdrivers
●Saw or pipe-cutter (depending on your piping-device)
● Pipe wrench
● Measuring tape
● Bucket

● Do not use hemp and grease at the water connections to prevent germ
growth.
● Do not use flexible hoses made from rubber. Rubber hoses offer ideal
growing conditions for bacteria.
●Do NOT use fittings with tapered threads (standard US NPT) to screw
into the UrSpring.
Requirements for mounting the UrSpring:
● Make sure you have a space of 1 x 1.5 meter (wxh) (3.5ft x 5 ft) available
for mounting the UrSpring.
● Make sure that the wall intended for mounting is suitable to carry the weight
of the UrSpring when filled with water (see Specifications).
● Make sure there is sufficient space on the front side of the UrSpring to
allow easy operation of the control unit and allow service and maintenance.
● Make sure that there is 20 cm (8") of space available below the UrSpring to
allow filter replacement.
Requirements for electrical power:
● The power socket must be grounded.
● Distance between socket and the UrSpring must be less than 1.5 m.
● The power supply cable and socket must correspond to the requirements
of the UrSpring (see Specifications).
● Make sure that all electrical connections are compliant with local ordinance
and directives.
● Do not use extension cables.
Requirements for water pipes:
● When using the John Guest quick couplings, all water pipes must have an
outer diameter of 22 mm.
● Water pipes are made of copper, stainless steel or plastic.
When using the John Guest quick couplings in combination with stainless
steel pipes, the pipes must have a groove (see separate John Quest
datasheet).
● Make sure a drain is available. Drain capacity larger than 30 liter/minute (8
gpm).
● Make sure that an outlet such as a sink or drain is available in the filtered
water line. This is required to flush the UrSpring during commissioning.
