The Depura 1000 Acquastop Anti Flood Filter is a standard safety filter designed to eliminate sand and foreign particles from water, suitable for civil, technical, and industrial applications. It comprises a polypropylene head and a SAN plastic vessel known for its resistance to high pressures. The filter accommodates various types of filter cartridges, such as washable mesh, micro-stretched stainless steel, and wound wire, providing versatility to meet specific filtration needs. Notably, the larger filtering surface of the Depura 1000 compared to the Depura 700 contributes to a reduced frequency of cartridge cleaning.
Installation of the Depura 1000 requires qualified personnel and should be carried out in a dry location protected from frost and sunlight. Careful handling during installation is emphasised to prevent damage to the filter bowl. The connection to pipes should utilise cylindrical thread fittings, with vertical installation maintaining the correct flow direction indicated by arrows on the filter head. To prevent depressions in water mains, the filter should not be installed in such situations. The inclusion of a by-pass system with valves is recommended, and the filter's technical characteristics must align with the specified operating conditions. In instances of high or pulsating network pressures, a pressure reducer and water hammer absorber are advised before the filter.
Maintenance procedures for the Depura 1000 involve cleaning the filter through washing or replacing the filter cartridge. The frequency of maintenance may need adjustment based on the presence of silt or clay. Before disassembling the cartridge for washing or replacement, the filter must be excluded from the system by closing stop valves and opening the by-pass valve. Cleaning the bowl and cartridge is recommended using soap and clear, potable water. For applications involving potable water, post-installation disinfection of the system is necessary. The secure attachment of the jar onto the filter head using the ring nut is the final step in ensuring effective and reliable filtration.
