Key Features

  • Durable Brass Body Construction: Crafted from high-quality, lead-free brass for safe, long-term contact with water, offering oxidation and corrosion resistance.
  • 40 Micron Precision Filtration: Effectively removes fine particles like sand, rust, and red worms, ensuring clean water without significantly impacting flow rate.
  • 316 Stainless Steel Filter Mesh: Features a tightly woven, high-precision 316 stainless steel micro-mesh that is corrosion-resistant, washable, and designed for extended use without replacement.
  • Backwash Self-Cleaning Design: Equipped with a manual drain valve that initiates a siphon backwash, allowing for easy and thorough cleaning of accumulated sediment without disassembling the unit.
  • Transparent Explosion-Proof Shell: The clear, high-pressure resistant housing, made from aerospace-grade PC plastic, allows for easy visual inspection of the filter's condition and sediment buildup.
  • No Disassembly Required for Cleaning: Maintenance is simplified as the filter can be flushed clean by simply opening the drain valve.

3. Setup and Installation

3.1. Preparation

  • Ensure that the selected connection size matches the household pipeline.
  • Confirm that the installation location allows at least 150 mm clearance from the floor for drainage.
  • Shut off the main water supply before installation.

3.2. Installation Steps

  1. Install the unit at the main water inlet or upstream of appliances requiring protection.
  2. Ensure correct flow direction according to the arrow marking on the product body.
  3. Secure all threaded connections using appropriate sealing materials to prevent leakage.

4. Operation

4.1. Initial Operation

  1. After installation, slowly open the main water valve.
  2. Check for any leaks.
  3. The system will begin filtering automatically during normal water flow.

4.2. Backwash Cleaning

To clean the filter, follow these steps:

  1. Open the drain valve at the bottom of the unit.
  2. The internal siphon structure will initiate backwash flushing to remove accumulated sediment.
  3. Allow flushing until discharged water runs clear.
  4. Close the drain valve. No disassembly is required for this cleaning process.

5. Maintenance

  • Clean the filter regularly depending on water quality and sediment levels.
  • If the device is not used for an extended period, shut off the water supply and drain residual water from the housing.
  • Store in a dry, ventilated area away from direct sunlight and corrosive substances.
  • Inspect seals and threaded connections periodically for signs of wear.

6. Precautions and Safety Warnings

  • Install only within the specified pressure range of 0.1-0.4 MPa. Excessive pressure may damage the housing or seals.
  • Use only with water temperatures between 0°C and 55°C to prevent material deformation or cracking.
  • This product is intended for municipal or similar tap water. It is not suitable for industrial wastewater or chemically contaminated water.
  • Ensure proper sealing during installation to prevent leakage.
  • Do not expose the unit to freezing conditions.
  • Installation should be carried out by qualified personnel where required by local regulations.

EU Market Reference (WARNING!)

  • This product is designed for use in potable water systems only.
  • Do not exceed the specified maximum working pressure of 0.4 MPa.
  • Improper installation may cause water leakage and property damage.
  • Ensure installation complies with local plumbing regulations within the EU.
  • Keep out of reach of children.
  • Proper disposal: Follow WEEE directives for electronic waste where applicable. Metal components should be recycled according to local waste management regulations.

Note: The above warning information is for reference only. Final warning language must comply with the official language requirements of the destination EU country.

7. Troubleshooting

  • Reduced Water Flow: Check the transparent housing for excessive sediment buildup. Perform a backwash cleaning. If the issue persists, inspect the main water supply pressure.
  • Leakage: Ensure all threaded connections are securely tightened and appropriate sealing materials (e.g., PTFE tape) were used during installation. Check for cracks in the housing (unlikely due to explosion-proof material, but inspect).
  • Filter Not Cleaning Effectively: Ensure the drain valve is fully open during backwash. Allow sufficient time for clear water to discharge.

8. User Tips

  • Regular Backwash: Many users find weekly backwashing sufficient to maintain optimal performance and prevent significant sediment buildup. The transparent housing makes it easy to visually determine when cleaning is needed.
  • Easy Monitoring: The transparent shell is a great feature for quickly checking the filter's condition without disassembly.
  • Protect Downstream Filters: Installing this pre-filter significantly extends the life of finer filters in under-sink purifiers or other water treatment systems.
  • Solid Construction: The brass housing and stainless steel mesh are noted for their durability and corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term use.
