General Safety Instructions

•Amiad Water Systems Ltd. ("Amiad") filtration products operate as components in a larger system. It

is essential for the system designers, installers, and operators to comply with all the relevant safety

standards and regulations, including the use and wear of appropriate safety equipment.

•Prior to installation, operation, maintenance, or any other type of action carried out on the filter,

carefully read the safety, installation, operation and warranty instructions.

•During installation, operation, commissioning, or maintenance of the filter, all conventional safety

instructions should be observed to avoid danger to any person, including the workers performing the

said activity, or to property in the vicinity.

•Please note: the filter enters a flushing mode automatically, without warning.

•Manual cleaning of filter element using high water pressure or steam should be performed in

accordance with the cleaning system instructions, the local standards, and regulations.

•Manual cleaning of filter element using acid or other chemical agents should be performed in

accordance with the relevant material safety instructions, the local standards, and regulations.

Observe and act according to the requirements detailed in the safety stickers on the filter, if any.

Tools needed for installation

Use only appropriate standard tools and equipment operated by qualified operators when

installing, operating and maintaining the filter.

*Amiad supplys the Sigma multi-tool only.

Installation

General

➢Install the filter according to the detailed Installation Instructions provided with the filter by Amiad.

➢Make sure to leave enough space (height 70 cm/ 27") to enable easy access for future treatments

and safe maintenance operations.

➢The user should arrange suitable lighting at the area of the filter to enable good visibility and safe

maintenance.

➢Check and retighten all bolts during commissioning and after the first week of operation.

➢Use only appropriate tools and equipment or recommended tools and equipment, if any, all

operated by qualified operators when installing, operating, and maintaining the filter.

Civil Engineering

➢While using lifting equipment, make sure that the filter is lifted in a safe manner.

➢Do not leave equipment lifted if not necessary. Avoid working below lifted equipment.

Shipping and Transporting

➢Shipping and transporting the filter must be done in a safe and stable manner and in accordance

with the relevant standards and regulations.

➢For shipping, lifting and positioning the filter, use only approved lifting equipment and authorized

employees and contractors.

➢Whenever lifting the filter is required, connect suitable hoisting equipment to the filter's clamps at

both sides of the filter, connect the ropes to a crane hook and carefully lift the filter.

Hydraulics

➢The user should install a manual water cut-off valve next to the filter’s inlet port.

➢In installations where the piping network downstream of the filter is pressurized, an additional

manual water cut-off valve should be installed next to the filter's outlet port.

➢The user should make sure that the system includes a pressure release / drainage valve to enable

release of residual pressure prior to any maintenance procedure is performed on the filter.

➢The user should make sure that the filter is never exposed to water pressure exceeding the

maximum designated pressure for this filter. When necessary, a pressure reduction valve should

be installed upstream of the filter’s water inlet port.

➢Please note that the maximum working pressure indicated in the filter’s specifications table

includes the pressure caused by fluid hammer and pressure surge effects.

➢If possible, prior to installing the filter, thoroughly flush the main line at the connection point in

order to remove large objects that may damage the filter’s internal mechanism.

Important installation note

➢Install the filter vertically. Please note that a minimum clearance of 70 cm (27") is required in order

to disassemble the unit.

Attention

➢Ensure that the direction of the flow is aligned with the arrows marked on the filter housing.

➢To prevent static backpressure or reverse flow through the filter, it is recommended to install a

non-return valve.
