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.

D Installation and operation
1 | General installation instructions
Filtration/Deacidification
Deacidification systems GENO-mat TE-Z
1.1 Water installation
The installation site must provide adequate space. A foundation of a
sufficient size and adequate carrying capacity must be provided. The
required connections must be provided prior to the installation. For
dimensions and connection data, please refer to table C-1.
Note: For the installation of systems with optional accessories (see
chapter C, item 5), also observe the operation manuals supplied with
these components.
When installing the filter/deacidification systems, certain binding
rules must be observed. Additional recommendations are given in
order to facilitate the handling of the systems. The installation information described below is also illustrated in fig. D-2.
Binding rules
The installation of the GENO-mat filter/deacidification systems represents a major interference with the drinking water system. Therefore, only authorised experts may install such systems. In Germany,
the installation company must be registered in an installation directory of a water company as per §12(2) AVBWasserV (German Ordinance on General Conditions for the Supply of Water).
Observe local and general installation guidelines.
Provide a drain connection to discharge the backwash water.
The installation room must have a floor drain (DN 100). If no floor
drain is available, a corresponding safety device has to be installed.
Observe the flow direction!
Warning! Floor drains that discharge to a lifting system do not work
in case of a power failure.
Recommendations
Provide a sampling valve and a pressure gauge (0-10 bar) directly
upstream and downstream of the filter/deacidification systems.
This simplifies the sampling for the regular determination of the
iron concentration (functional check).

2. Establish waste water connection as per DIN EN 1717. Shorten
the rinse water hose to the correct length and guide it to the drain.
Ensure there is a free outlet (min. 20mm) to the drain. Secure the
hose with suitable fittings to prevent the hose from moving about
(regeneration water is pressurised).
Caution! Danger of damage and malfunctions due to a waste water
backflow. Therefore, do not bend the hose and do not lead it higher
than the system height.
3. Connect the mains plug to the socket (see 1.2).
4. Water the system (not the KF-Z)
In order to prevent the filter material from being washed out, it
must be watered for 24 hours.

E Start-up
The work described below may only be performed by trained experts. We recommend having the start-up performed by Grünbeck’s
technical service/authorised service company.
Warning! Danger of contamination due to stagnation! According to
VDI 6023, filling the system with drinking water before normal opera-
1 | How to start up the system
tion commences is prohibited.
The GENO-mat filter/deacidification systems must therefore first be
connected to the drinking water system immediately prior to commissioning.
1. Open the valve at the raw water inlet.
2. Open the valve at the pure water outlet.
3. Perform a visual check. Ensure that no water leaks from the system anywhere.
4. Rinse out fine particles
The filter material contains a small amount of fine particles which
must be flushed by means of a backwash prior to start-up. Release a manual regeneration
(refer to chapter F, item 1.4).
Note: The backwash process must be repeated until the backwash
water that flows to the drain in the process step „first filtrate“ is
clear.
5. Take a water sample at the sampling valve downstream of the
system.
6. Determine the iron concentration by means of the water test kit.
7. Fill in the cover sheet and column 1 in the operation log.

1 | How to operate the control unit
Filtration/Deacidification
Filter systems GENO-mat KF-Z / MS-Z / AK-Z
Deacidification systems GENO-mat TE-Z
1.1 How to set the time
1.2 How to set the
backwash interval
The control unit regulates the operation of the filter/deacidification systems.
The filter/deacidification systems are factory-set in a way that the
automatic regeneration is always released at 2:00 am (at night). Upon start-up or after a power failure, the current time must be set.
1. Loosen the screw at the housing cover (top right).
2. Open the housing cover.
3. Press and hold the red button (Fig. F-1, Item 6).
4. Turn the 24 hour disk until the reference arrow (Fig. F-1, Item 2)
points to the current time.
5. Release the red button (Fig. F-1, Item 6).
Note: In case the preset time for the backwash (2:00 am) should be
unfavourable for internal reasons, set a time which deviates from the
current time at the 24 hour disk in order to adjust the starting time for
the backwash.
Example:
Desired starting time of the backwash: 22:00
Move clock forward 4 hours.
The maximum backwash interval is 12 days. Furthermore, an automatic backwash can be carried out after 6, 4, 3, 2 or 1 day(s) (factors of 12). Fig. F-1 indicates the setting for a backwash to be carried out every 2 days.
1. Determination of the backwash interval.
For hygienic reasons, a backwash should be carried out every 6
days (factory-setting).
If the differential pressure of the filter is > 0.3 bar above normal
after 6 days due to a higher concentration of dirt in the water, a
backwash process should be initiated every 4 days or at even
shorter intervals.
The same applies in case of an early breakthrough of dirt parti-
cles.

3. Set the other switching pins as required.
On all days where the switching pins are pushed outwards, the
backwash is released. In order to set, for example, a backwash interval of 3 days, the switching pins in positions 1, 4, 7 and 10 on the
day disk must be pushed outwards (Fig. F-1, Item 4).

The current operating state may be read from the position of the reference point (Fig. F-1, Item 8) on the backwash wheel (Fig. F-1,
Item 1).
1.4 How to release a
manual backwash
The reference point (Fig.
F-1, Item 8) lies opposite
the reference arrow (Fig.

Backwash; the backwash wheel (Fig. F1, Item 1) turns clockwise; the progress
of the backwash can be read from the
position of the reference point (Fig. F-1,
Item 8).
The day disk (Fig. F-1, Item 4) turns counter-clockwise once in 12
days. The red reference arrow (Fig. F-1, Item 3) points to the position where a switching pin turned outwards releases a backwash. In
the operating mode, the distance between the reference arrow (Fig.
F-1, Item 3) and the following switching pin which is turned outwards
is an indication for the number of days until the next backwash.
Manual regeneration should be released if
the differential pressure of the filter/deacidification systems is
more than 0.3 bar above normal before the timer control releases
the backwash.
the systems are restarted after longer periods of standstill.
maintenance or repair work has been carried out.
Irrespective of the set backwash interval and the time, the backwash
can be released manually at any time.
1. Check operating state.
Only in operating mode:
2. Turn backwash wheel (Fig. F-1, Item. 1) to the right by one catch
(pay attention to the snap!).
The filter/deacidification systems start the backwash process, the
backwash wheel (Fig. F-1, Item 1) slowly turns clockwise. After approx. 3 hours, the backwash is terminated and the white reference
point (Fig. F-1, Item 8) is located opposite of the black reference arrow for the current time again (Fig. F-1, Item 7).

G Maintenance and Care
1 | Basic information
In order to guarantee the reliable function of filter/deacidification systems over a long period of time, some maintenance work has to be
performed at regular intervals. This applies in particular to the backwash in the drinking water sector where the required measures are
defined in the pertinent regulations and guidelines. All regulations
and guidelines which apply at the installation site must be strictly
adhered to.
DIN EN 806-5 stipulates:
Inspection every 2 months
Maintenance every 6 months
Maintenance must be performed by the Grünbeck’s customer
service/authorised service company or by a specialised company.
An operation log must be kept in order to document the mainte-
nance work performed.
Note: A maintenance contract ensures that all the required maintenance work will be performed in due time.
The operation log is attached to this operation manual.
2 | Inspection (functional check)
You may perform the regular inspections yourself.
Summary: Inspection work
Determine system pressure differential
Check controller settings:
a) Time
b) Check backwash interval
Note: Minor deviations are normal and cannot be prevented techni-
cally. If you detect major deviations, please contact Grünbeck’s customer service/authorised service company.
Check the entire system for outward tightness.
Check control valve to drain for tightness (in operating mode).
