Important: If needed, training videos can be found on the Streamline® website: www.streamline.systems.

3. Safety Regulations

System Safety

The Bravo® tank is manufactured with operator safety in mind, incorporating features to prevent serious personal injury.

Over Pressure

[Warning Icon] If the water pressure in the Bravo tank trolley system exceeds the standard 10 bar pressure, the pressure relief valve opens on the pump, allowing greater flow through the waste water outlet. This reduces pressure in the system and through the pure water outlet.

Over Heating

♨️ If the powerful booster pump overheats, an activation switch is triggered, and the system will automatically switch off.

Electrical Hazards

⚡

• As the Bravo tank system is powered by an electrical source, never use the equipment in the rain, snow, or strong winds.
• Never use the filtration system to clean people or animals.
• Before each use, perform a visual check on all electrical cables for damage. Never use the filtration system with a damaged cable.

Mechanical Hazards

⚙️

• To avoid mechanical hazards, place the Bravo® tank system on an even surface and ensure sufficient stability.

Use only original accessories supplied with the Bravo tank system for maximum quality and security. Failure to use original accessories absolves Varitech Systems Ltd from all liability.

Personal Safety

Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating the Bravo® tank system. Do not use the system when tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication. Inattention can result in serious personal injury.

Use personal protective equipment to avoid personal injury:

• ? Protective Gloves
• ? Protective Footwear

Additional protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection may be required depending on the safety regulations in the operator's surroundings.

4. Filling The Tank

Follow these steps to fill the tank:

1. Ensure that the flush valve is closed and the needle valve on the R.O. filter is fully open (turn anti-clockwise).
2. Switch the solenoid switch 'on' to fill. (Hold the Up and Down Arrow on Controller 2).
3. Connect a hose to the port marked 'Waste'. This hose is the waste water hose and must discharge into the nearest suitable drain.
4. Connect a hose from the mains water supply to the port marked 'Water Inlet' and turn on the water supply. Allow water to flow through the system and out the waste water hose until all air has been purged.
5. Adjust the needle valve clockwise until a 50:50 ratio of water to tank and water to waste is achieved. (Ideally, a ratio of 40:60 pure/waste is required for maximum R.O. efficiency). Use a measuring jug to set this ratio. Once accurate, count the number of revolutions the needle valve was opened. This number can be used for future set-ups without a measuring jug.
6. The solenoid valve will automatically shut off when the tank is full. Remember to switch off the solenoid if you wish to stop filling earlier. Hold up and down arrows to turn off the solenoid valve.

5. To Dispense Pure Water

1. Attach the 5-meter hose supplied to the port marked 'Feed' and to the hosereel. If a static hosereel is mounted in the vehicle, it should already be connected. Connect the other end of the hose on the hosereel to the waterfed pole.
2. Switch the flow controller 'on' by pressing the [Button] button. Adjust the water flow to the pole by increasing the number until a desired flow is achieved.
3. The pump MUST run continuously. If it runs intermittently while water is flowing to the pole, decrease the speed on the flow controller by pressing the [Button] button until the pump runs continuously. Different pole lengths may require this setting to be altered.
4. When the cleaning task is completed, switch the pump off before disconnecting the hoses from the poles and hosereels by pressing and holding the [Button] button.

Note: The system must not be stored under pressure as this will invalidate the warranty.

Please Note: We advise running any system with an RO filter for 15 minutes before first use or when replacing the filter. This ensures the system calibrates to the desired PPM (Part Per Million) of the filter.

6. Maintenance

Streamline water filtration systems are designed for window cleaning, bus cleaning, and boat cleaning, providing a spot-free finish with 0ppm water. Regular maintenance is required to maintain optimum filter efficiency.

For de-ionising resin bead systems (recommended for soft water areas), regularly test water samples from the outlet of the last resin filter with the supplied TDS meter. Readings from 0ppm to 5ppm are acceptable. Readings above 5ppm indicate spent resin beads that need replacing. Debris and carbon filters should be replaced at least every three months.

For reverse osmosis (r.o.) filter systems (suitable for hard water areas), regular maintenance is crucial for efficient and inexpensive water production.

Prefilter & Carbon Filter

The first two filters are debris and carbon pre-filters. We recommend replacing these at least every three months. Unscrew the filter bowls, replace the cartridges, and screw the bowls back on hand-tight.

Softner Filter

The third blue filter vessel contains a softening resin filter that removes water hardness before it enters the r.o. filter. The resin becomes spent and can be regenerated with softening salt. Regeneration frequency depends on the TDS reading of the water supply.

Example: If the TDS is 100ppm, the softener resin can treat approximately 2250 litres. If TDS is 200ppm, it treats half this amount. With 100ppm TDS, regeneration is needed every 900 litres collected (as RO filters retain 40% of incoming water).

To regenerate the softener resin: Fill the cartridge in the salt housing with softening salt. Disconnect the red hose from the r.o. filter outlet and connect it to the softener resin filter (filter 3) outlet, allowing salt brine to run to waste. Connect the mains supply hose to the filling port and turn on the mains water supply. Allow the brine solution to flow through the softener resin filter slowly until the salt has dissolved. Turn off the water supply, let pressure drop, and repeat with a second fill of salt. After the second fill has dissolved, allow water to flow for five minutes to flush out the salt. This final rinse is critical to prevent salt ingress into the RO filter, which could damage the membrane.

Softner Filter (Continued)

Once regeneration is complete, remove the red hose and reconnect the blue hose. Open the Flushing Valve for 30 minutes, allowing water to flow out the rear pipe to the drain. This flushes the RO Membrane of debris and keeps it in optimal condition.

RO Membrane

The reverse osmosis filter requires periodic backwashing, recommended after each softening resin regeneration. Use purified water from the tank. Open the needle valve fully (anti-clockwise). Disconnect the two quick couplers from the Filter Five inlet and Filter Three outlet, join them using the supplied joiner. Switch on the pump and run for five minutes. Reconnect all hoses as before.

DI Filters

The last blue filter vessel contains deionising resin. This filter polishes water from the tank to the pole. The deionising resin cannot be regenerated and needs replacing if the TDS reading rises above 005ppm.

The Pumps

The pumps are protected by a pre-filter with a clear top for visual inspection. If debris accumulates, unscrew the top and flush with clean water.

The pumps have a built-in pressure switch that stops pumping when maximum pressure is reached. This is a safety feature. However, the pressure switch may burn out if the pump runs intermittently. Ensure the pump speed is correctly set on the flow controller to avoid this.

The pump must not be stored under pressure, as this will invalidate the warranty.
