2 | Designated application/area of application
Gravel filter KF-Z
Multi-layer filter MS-Z
In general, gravel filter systems are used for the conventional filtration of impurities in cases where a fine filtration by means of cartridge filters would be too costly due to an exceptionally high degree
of pollution. The quartz gravel used retains undissolved substances
such as sand, etc.
Heavy metal compounds in dissolved form such as iron and manganese, however, cannot be removed.
The filter must be backwashed if there is an accumulation of dirt particles and a pressure drop by approx. 0.3 bar (overpressure). The
backwash is carried out from the bottom to the top, opposite to the
regular direction of flow.
Multi-layer filters mostly are used for the conventional filtration of
impurities in cases where a fine filtration by means of cartridge filters
would be too costly due to an exceptionally high degree of pollution.
The hydro-anthrasite H used in addition to quartz gravel is a filter
material composed of carefully sieved, thermally-treated carbon for
the treatment of drinking and process water. The abrasion-resistant
filter material has a rough surface by which a finer filtrate is achieved
compared to a filtration by gravel alone.
The multi-layer filter is able to retain undissolved substances such
as sand, etc. Heavy metal compounds in dissolved form such as iron
and manganese, however, cannot be removed. The filter must be
backwashed if there is an accumulation of dirt particles and a pressure drop by approx. 0.3 bar (overpressure). The backwash is carried out from the bottom to the top, opposite to the regular direction
of flow.

Activated carbon
filter AK-Z
The activated carbon filter is used to dechlorinate the water. If possible, the water to be dechlorinated should be free of mechanical
impurities.
Activated carbon is able to react with the available, free chlorine via
surface reaction. The chloride thus produced does not clog up the
activated carbon filter but is discharged with the water. The surface
reaction capacity is reduced over time due to the amount of impurities present in the water.
For this reason, and to remove any carbon abrasions that might
have occurred, it is essential to backwash the filter on a weekly basis.
If the residual chlorine concentration exceeds the set admissible
value on leaving the activated carbon filter, the activated carbon
should be replaced. A replacement, however, should take place every two years at the latest.

Deacidification system
TE-Z
Filtration/Deacidification
Filter systems GENO-mat KF-Z / MS-Z / AK-Z
Deacidification systems GENO-mat TE-Z
Corresponding to its carbonate hardness, all water contains a certain amount of free carbon dioxide which is necessary to dissolve
the carbonate hardness present in the water. If there is more free
carbon dioxide contained in the water than necessary, the water is
characterised as tending to precipitate lime. This aggressive carbonic acid prevents the formation of protective scale/rust layers in the
piping and is therefore removed by means of a deacidification filter.
At the same time that the acid is removed, minor impurities are also
removed by filtration.
We would like to point out explicitly that due to the limited amount of
filtration material available, only a partial deacidification can be
achieved.
We therefore recommend installing an EXADOS dosing unit downstream of the deacidification filter in order to add EXADOS-spezial.
In order to prevent the filter material from clogging and to flush out
impurities, it is necessary to backwash the filter. The backwash is
carried out from the bottom to the top, opposite to the regular direction of flow.
The Hydrolit-Ca deacidification material used is consumed based on
the hydration of the excess carbon dioxide. (Consumption per g of
converted CO2 approx. 2.5 g).
It is therefore necessary to check the filling level from time to time
and to refill, if necessary. The system must be flushed through every
time it is refilled.
If an increased bacterial count is to be expected from the well water,
we recommend to have a disinfection performed at regular intervals
by our technical service.

3 | Function
3.1 Filteration
3.2 Backwash
3.3 First filtrate
3.4 Control unit
The GENO-mat filter systems for the filtration of impurities / partial
deacidification work with an active insoluble catalytic filter material. A
central control valve automatically controls the operating cycles filtration, backwash and first filtrate.
The raw water enters the exchanger tank via the raw water inlet and
flows through the filter material from top to bottom. According to the
filter type, the dirty water is filtered from top to bottom. The filtered
pure water is then directed via the lower distributing nozzle and the
riser pipe through the pure water outlet into the piping system.
During the backwash process, the filter bed is forcibly flushed from
bottom to top and thus loosened up. Impurities retained during the
filtration process are washed out via the drain outlet at the control
valve. The filter system must be backwashed every 6 days at the
latest (for the setting refer to chapter F).
By an automatic switch-over of the central control valve, the filter
bed will forcibly be flushed from top to bottom. This first filtrate is
discharged to the drain and afterwards the filter system is ready for
operation once again.
The GENO-mat filter systems / deacidification systems are timecontrolled via an electrical timer.
In order to properly use the automatic timer control, the time interval
between two filter sequences (backwash interval in days) must be
set.
