Electrical Specifications and Safety

Electrical connections must comply with current legislation (IEC 60364-1) and manufacturer's instructions. Ensure sockets are adequate for the appliance's power rating. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt. The correct plug should be fitted by a qualified electrician.

Varitech Systems Ltd is not liable for damage caused by faulty or incorrect connections. Before connecting, check that the rating plate specifications match the mains electrical supply. If using an extension cable, ensure it has an adequate cross-section (minimum 1.5 mmq) and that the plug and socket are watertight.

The electrical safety of the equipment is guaranteed only when correctly and efficiently earthed according to electrical safety legislation. If in doubt, have a qualified electrician check the system. It is recommended to use a residual current device (RCD) that interrupts the supply if leakage current to earth exceeds 30 mA for 30ms, or a device that proves the earth circuit.

Varitech Systems Ltd is not liable for damage caused by faulty earthing. Disconnect the equipment from the mains only by unplugging the plug from the socket.

General electrical safety rules:

• Do not touch the appliance with wet hands or feet.
• Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or unsuitable clothing.
• Do not pull the power cable or appliance itself to unplug the plug from the mains.

Operating the Streamflo Filtration Systems

Ensure the unit has an identification plate. If missing, notify the distributor/manufacturer. Products without an identification plate are considered anonymous and potentially dangerous.

Unpacking of the Streamflo Filtration System

Your Streamflo filtration system has been carefully manufactured, checked, and packaged. Unpack carefully and perform a thorough visual check of all parts. If in doubt, do not use the system and contact your dealer or manufacturer. Keep packaging materials away from children as they may pose a hazard. Packaging can be recycled according to local legislation.

Storage of the Streamflo Filtration System

Protect the system from algae and bacteria growth in pressure vessels caused by stagnant water. The de-ionising (DI) resin must not dry out. The unit must be protected from freezing.

You can transport or store the trolley system with the handles folded down. Loosen the locking fixings, lift the handle, and fold forwards.

About your system

To operate the Streamflo filtration system, fill the storage tank with standard mains tap water. The water is drawn from the storage tank by the 100psi pump and pushed through the DI resin vessel, reaching a 000ppm result before exiting to the telescopic pole.

System Components:

• Flow Controller
• Trolley frame
• Outlet Water Connections
• 6 x 18 DI Filter (On SF-TR25L-072 model only)
• Solid Wheels
• Pump
• 12v Lithium-Ion Battery

Charging your Battery

The lithium-ion 12V battery is ready to be charged when received.

1. Plug the charger into an electrical socket.
2. Insert the charger socket into the lithium battery terminal and switch the battery charger on.
3. RED and GREEN lights will indicate the battery charging completion.

Important: Only use the Streamline charger supplied with your Streamflo filtration system. If misplaced, contact your dealer or manufacturer immediately. The charger has a safety function to prevent the battery from overcharging. You can operate the system and keep the battery on charge. Pay special attention to the mains electrical supply when operating with water.

Assembling the System

1. Ensure the trolley system is safely secure and stable on a level surface.

Turning your Streamflo Filtration System ON

1. When in position, press the power button on the flow controller and hold for 2 seconds.
2. Adjust the speed of the water flow through the 100psi pump using the ↑ and ↓ arrows on the flow controller.

Please ensure you regularly check the water quality with the handheld TDS meter provided.

Important: If you have a 50ltr trolley system, it is important that the pump draws from both 25ltr water tanks simultaneously.

Operating your Streamflo Filtration System

The Streamflo filtration system is designed for single-operator use. Water supply interruptions for short periods (e.g., moving between windows) are normal. If the system is interrupted for long periods, switch off the pump to prevent overheating, over-pressurizing, or damage. If using 4x jets with a waterfed brush, increase the controller speed for sufficient water flow for quality cleaning and rinsing.

Important: If you have a 50ltr trolley system, it is important that the pump draws from both 25ltr water tanks simultaneously.

Turning your Streamflo Filtration System OFF

1. Press and hold the ⏻ button on the Streamline flow controller, switching off the 100psi pump.
2. Disconnect the telescopic pole and all hose lengths connected to the system.

5. Malfunctions and Troubleshooting

To switch off the Streamflo filtration system after completing the cleaning task, simply:

Low water pressure or water supply at waterfed brush

• Check for any blockages or kinks in the hose.
• Disconnect all extension hose reels and connect the Streamflo filtration system directly to the telescopic pole.
• Increase water flow rate on the flow controller.
• Contact a service center.

High pure water TDS

• Check DI resin quality; replace DI resin beads if necessary.
• Contact a service center.

Pump will not start

• Check battery charge (see section 12.1 'How to charge your battery').
• Check fuse on the battery charger.
• Check fuse on the mains power.
• Contact a service center.

Controller stating 'DE' or 'PS' constantly

• Check for any blockages in the hose or telescopic pole tubing.
• Check for any blockages in the membrane.
• Raise the calibration on the controller.
• Contact a service center.

Controller flashing 'BAT' constantly

• Plug in the battery charger immediately before the battery is flat.
• Contact a service center.

6. Maintenance and Replacing Filters

Maintenance and Replacing Filters

Proper care and maintenance of your Streamflo filtration system will ensure it is well looked after and running smoothly. A weekly examination of the system is recommended to ensure filters and connections are adequate and effective for producing pure 000ppm water quality.

Weekly Inspection

• Check the pure water TDS using the handheld TDS meter. If the output reads higher than 3ppm, it is recommended to change the de-ionising (DI) filter. Make a note in the inspection booklet.
• Check the battery voltage by running through the controller function until 'BAT' is displayed. A healthy battery will read between 11V and 12.4V.

De-ionising (DI) Resin Beads - usage and replacing

The DI resin filter is the final polishing filter for RO pure water. It is recommended for monthly replacement or approximately every 2,000 liters of pure water (starting with TDS of 100ppm).

How do I change the DI resin cartridge?

1. Ensure the pump is switched off and the system is de-pressurized.
2. Remove the inlet and outlet hose from the DI filter.
3. Unscrew the filter bracket and remove the DI filter from the trolley.
4. Remove the DI filter head and empty the poor/spent DI resin.
5. Refill the DI filter to the filling line and reset the filter riser and head.
6. Ensure all seals and fittings are replaced and tight. Pay special attention to the flow direction on the membrane housings and membranes.

7. Disposing of filters and machine

The Streamflo filtration system is classified as special waste. It must be dismantled and divided into uniform sections for disposal according to current legislation. Do not use removed components as spare parts. All filters are disposable as unharmful general waste.

Important: Disposing of resin beads can create a slippery surface. Exercise caution when disposing of resin beads and clean up any spills immediately.
