3.0 GENERAL NOTES
These instructions cover the BIRM Range of filters, which includes model numbers from CF1054 to CM 2160.
It is recommended that these instructions are read thoroughly before commencing any work on the unit, particularly if you have no previous experience of installing and using a filter.
3.1 Iron& Manganese Removal
Heavy metallic contaminants, and some non-metallic contaminants can be removed from water using specific media. These media can be mixed in a multi-layer bed which, when combined with an appropriate backwash or regeneration system, can be tailored to solve a wide range of specific contaminant problems.
Iron and manganese and sometimes aluminium and hydrogen sulphide can be removed with a catalytic filter media, which uses oxygen in the water to convert the metal ions from the soluble to an insoluble form. The insoluble precipitate is then filtered out onto the surface of the media. Depending on the composition of the raw water a choice of media can be used.
Birm filter media is one of these medias and just requires backwashing with the raw water to clear the bed. The operating parameters for Birm make it suitable for a number of water types.
3.2 System Management
In order to remove accumulated deposits from the filter bed, the water flow through the filter is reversed (backwashed). Water is run to drain at a high rate to separate the filter media from the deposits. The control valve completes the backwash cycle automatically at the intervals and times set during installation. Backwash and fast rinse times are set for 20 minutes per cycle but can be altered to suit individual requirements.
All filter valves have the option of an additional volt free microswitch, which can be used to initiate a regen pump etc.

3.3 Birm System Operation 'Frequently Asked Questions'
The main uses for a BIRM filter are for domestic and light commercial removal of Iron, Manganese, Hydrogen Sulphide and general turbidity. The Birm media is a catalytic media that is not used up in the reaction however oxygen has to be present in the water to enable the oxidisation to occur. If the feed water does not contain the necessary level of oxygen then a system for adding this will be required
The feed water flows under pressure to the control valve on the vessel where it is directed through to the filtration media. Birm systems built with WS1/WS1.5 valves will bypass raw water during backwash. For this reason the systems are set to backwash at 2:00 AM.
Maximum Iron levels: Birm systems can be used on Iron levels of up to 5 ppm with certain reservations. There are a number of examples working satisfactory at higher levels.
Manganese removal: Manganese removal in a Birm system is dependent on the level of Iron and other contaminants in the raw water. The greater the amount of Iron, the easier it is to remove the Manganese. With an Iron: Manganese ratio of 10:1, the Manganese is extracted very well at a pH of 7.0-7.5. When the ratio reaches 5:1 then the pH needs to be between
7.8-8.2. When the Manganese level exceeds the amount of Iron then a pH of above 8.3 is required. While the pH correction media in the Birm blend will raise the pH of acid water, it cannot raise it above 8.0 consistently if the general level of dissolved solids is high and the Langellier index is saturated. A full water analysis is essential when considering using the Birm system primarily for Manganese removal.
Humic acid/tannins: Decaying organic matter in the raw water supply creates Humic acid or tannins, sometimes seen as light brown colour in low pH 'peaty' water supplies. These tannins can combine and complex with Iron and Sulphur, coating and blinding the pH correction and filter media reducing its effectiveness. The tannin level in the raw water should be less than 2 ppm and ideally less than 1 ppm to eliminate the need for frequent changes or rejuvenation of the filter media. With high tannin water supplies it will be necessary to oxidise the tannins to an insoluble floc that is filtered out with the other contaminants. The most effective oxidiser is Ozone, and an Ozone generator with injection venturi and off-gas valve has proved to be very successful at preventing tannin blinding. An alternative is to remove the tannins with an Organic Scavenger, but these are not simple to install and still operate the Birm system satisfactorily. Moreover, Organic Scavengers need to be regenerated with Caustic Brine requiring the control and addition of two consumables, one of which is corrosive and difficult to handle.
Chlorides: Very high Chloride levels in the raw water can inhibit the performance of the Birm system by preventing Iron and

Manganese from precipitating. In normal circumstances the Chloride level in the raw water should be less than 100 ppm and ideally below 50 ppm.
Backw as h: While th e Birm system is designed to operat e and backwash at twice flow rate, it essential that there is sufficient pressure and volumeof water at the recommended backwash flow. It may be necessary to fit a larger backwash flow button, or even a higher flow valve on larger systems if the pressure is low, just to achieve the required cleaning of the filter bed. Alternatively a longer backwash may be needed to achieve the same effect.

4.0 REGENERATION/BACKWASH
4.1 The Backwash Process The backwash process consists of two stages:-
Backwash - Water flows upwards through the media bed, and out to a drain. As it does so it separates the deposits from the filter media and cleans off any particles of dirt or pipework corrosion products, which may have accumulated during the service cycle.
Fast Rinse - This follows the backwash cycle and entails rinsing away any residual deposits from the media and re-packing the media bed. This is carried out down flow with water flowing through the media in the direction of service.
4.2 TIME CLOCK CONTROL OF REGENERATION INITIATION
Most filter application systems are supplied with a time clock configuration valve, which initiate regeneration at a pre-set time (usually 2:00 AM) after a pre-set number of days. The frequency of regenerations is fully adjustable, but a minimum of once every 3 days is recommended.

5.0 PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKS
5.1 MECHANICAL
5.1.1 Foundation/Drainage The filter will not require any special foundations, provided that a firm, level
area, which is capable of supporting the working weight, is available. (See Engineering Data, Section 11.2)
Unwanted water from the backwash process must flow to drain, and so an open drain or gully, capable of passing the necessary flow is required (see Process and Operating Data, 11.1, for relevant flows). The total flow of water to drain depends on site conditions, but will be at least the same as the service flow. Preferably the drain should be level but no higher than 500mm above the filter valve.
5.1.2 OperatingSpace The space occupied by the filter can be found in the Engineering Data (Section
11 .2). Access will be required to carry out adjustments or maintenance on the
equipment. It is therefore recommended that a minimum of 500mm clearance be allowed around the unit for this purpose.
5.1.3 IncomingWater The raw water to be fed to the filter must comply with the following:-
1. Maximum iron level = 5ppm
2. pH range = 6.0-9.0
3. Organic matter = less than 2ppm
4. Free chlorine = less than 0.5ppm
5. Chloride below 100 ppm
6. Temperature = 3 - 45C (35 - 110F)
7. No Oil or Polyphosphates
8. Backwash flow rate must be twice the same as the service flow rate available with a pressure of 3 bar

5.1.4 Pipework
Pipework to be connected to the filter should not have an excessive amount of deposits. Piping that is heavily built up with scale (or Iron deposits) should be replaced.
Make sure that the pipework can be connected to the filter in such a way as to impose no stresses on the control valve, and that it is properly aligned and supported.
A system for the complete by-passing and isolation of the filter should be installed.
5.1.5 Water Supply Company Requirements
During backwash the accumulated debris is flushed to drain. Please contact your local Water Authority for advice on effluent issues if concerned with flow to drain.
5.2 ELECTRICAL
All filter valves are supplied as 12v complete with a transformer for 240v. A continuous supply of 240v, 5 VA is required which should be provided by an uninterrupted mains supply, which is separately 1 Amp fused, and does not have any additional switch.
A plug is provided with this filter, the cable should be connected to fused spur outlet. However if that is not possible then a plug should be fitted to the cable with a 1 amp fuse. The socket used should be unswitched to prevent the filter from being inadvertently turned off.

6.0 ASSEMBLY/INSTALLATION
6.1 MECHANICAL
Check all the items against the parts list and shipping documents, and ensure you have them all before starting work. In addition to the filter you will require installation materials and basic tools, (i.e., spanners, screwdrivers etc., and PTFE tape)
6.1.1 Pipework
Pipework can be constructed from any normally acceptable material (Copper, Galvanised, Plastic), provided it is properly supported and aligned. Ensure that the pipe is sufficiently large to accommodate the flow of water required, making due allowance for the pressure drop between the filter and the point of discharge of treated water.
NOTE: IF BRAZED OR SOLDERED FITTINGS ARE TO BE USED, THE PIPE WORK MUST BE DISCONNECTED FROM THE VALVE DURING HEATING AND COOLING. EXCESS HEAT CAN CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO SOME OF THE VALVE COMPONENTS.
6.1.2 Drains and overflow connections
The drain connection from the backwash valves is a 3/4" or 1” BSPM thread. Flexible tube should be run from this spigot to a drain capable of taking the maximum flow in regeneration (see Section 11.2), and leaving a similar gap above the drain edge. The drain must not be higher than 500mm above the control valve and preferably should have an air break at the same height as the control valve.

6.2 ASSEMBLY
Refer to the installation diagrams in Section 13 and note the direction of flow through the system.
Ensure the installation site is clear and level. Ensure that the piping system in the building transfers the treated water
into a vented header tank to feed any hot water systems. If possible, place the filter vessel into its final location before filling. Check
that the riser tube has the cap in place before commencing filling. Using a hose 1/3 fill the vessel with water. This is to prevent damage to the
bottom distributor when pouring in the media. Using a funnel slowly pour in the support gravel. Next, slowly pour in the
Birm, taking care not to spill any on the floor and that the riser remains central in the vessel during filling.
After pouring in all of the filter media, the vessel should be, at most, 70-75% full. This is to allow rising space for the media during the backwashing cycle. Once the vessel is filled, immediately sweep up any spilled filter media.
Remove the cap from the riser tube and brush any debris out of the threads in the neck of the filter vessel.
Unpack the valve and reducer (if used). Screw the reducer into the filter vessel, then slip the valve down onto the distributor tube. No top distributor is used on filter valves to allow the maximum amount of debris to be backwashed off the media.
Screw the valve into the filter vessel, taking extreme care not to cross the threads. As the valve is being run into the vessel excessive force should not be required. Finally tighten toapproximately 20ft.lbs torque.
Adjust the position of the filter vessel to line up with the pipework connections, not the position of the valve on the vessel.
Connect the inlet and outlet pipework to the valve using flexible connections or plastic high pressure piping. Flexible pipework is essential to prevent stress on the vessel as it cycles during service since it will expand and contract longitudinally.

Connect the drain line to the outlet of the drain line flow controller on the valve.
Ensure that there is an air break in the drain at the same height as the valve to prevent negative pressure on the vessel.
Connect the power supply to the valve and the unit is now ready for commissioning.

7.3 COMMISSIONING
7.3.1 The objective of commissioning is to fill the filter with water, check for leaks and prepare it for service. The simplest way to commission the unit is to initiate a backwash. This will eliminate the air from the system and flush the media prior to use.
7.3.2 Before opening the inlet water supply switch on the power, which will activate the piston motor and the timer motor.
7.2.3 Next, start a manual backwash by pressing the regen button for 3 sec or until the motor starts to turn.
7.2.4 When the motor has stopped switch off the power and slowly open the inlet water supply. At first, air will be expelled from the drain line, followed by water once the vessel is full. Allow water to run to drain on the backwash cycle for 10-15 minutes in order to rinse the filter media and remove any fines.
7.2.5 Turn the power back on and allow the complete a manual regen in full by
pressing the regen button for 3 sec and allowing the valve to complete the cycle.
7.2.9 The filter is now commissioned.

8.0 ROUTINE MONITORING
The following recommendations are made to help the user of the filter confirm that it is performing as required, and to give early warning of possible problems. The operation of the filter is completely automatic, and should not require adjustment.
Weekly
Check the treated water quality witha test kit.
Monthly
Check raw water quality, and record. Compare with originalqualityand adjust frequency of backwash if required.
BIRM Series Filter
Installation Operation Maintenance Manual
Six Monthly
Perform a chlorinated backwash to remove anyorganicbuild up on the media. Check filter media depth against original level.
Annually
Inspect and clean/replace as necessary the piston and the internal seals. A competent engineer familiar with Clack valves should perform this.

9.0 FAULT FINDING AND RECTIFICATION
9.1 NO FLOW TO SERVICE Check mains pressure is above 1.7 bar. Check inlet water supply Check inlet and outlet isolating valves are open. Check service outlet valve is open. Check pressure drop across media. If excessive, media may be
fouled, or internals blocked. Initiate a backwash. If this does not free up the media the filter will need to be inspected and serviced by a competent engineer.
Backwash with chlorine solution to remove organic build up
9.2 POOR TREATED WATER QUALITY
Check manual by-pass closed. Check raw water pressure above minimum. If flow is less than design rate,
channelling of water can occur in media, which results in inadequate treatment.
Backwash with chlorine solution to remove organic build up Increase frequency of backwash as media may be becoming
overloaded. Increase backwash flow. Check piston and seals & spacers. Check raw
water analysis for changes
