Pentair Everpure Water Treatment System Start-Up Guidance after an Extended Shutdown!

Filtration systems are designed to be operated on a continuous basis with only relatively short periods of down time (overnight and holidays). When a system is shut down for an extended period of time, there is a potential for microbiologic growth. To address concerns with system operation after the shutdown, please follow the below instructions. This is applicable to all Pentair filtration systems (i.e., pre-filters, carbon-based cartridges and Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems).


Periodic Flushing In cases where the customer knows that the system will be down for an extended time and is able to get to the system on a periodic basis, follow the below flushing procedure every 3-4 days:


Filtration Systems
Flush the system for a minimum of 5 minutes by letting the outlet water run to the drain. For systems with multiple outlet ports, flush for a minimum of 5 minutes through all ports.
RO Systems
Empty the tank through the outlet port until the pump turns on. Once the pump is on, flush the system for 10 minutes by letting the outlet water run to the drain. For systems with multiple outlet ports, flush through all ports.
Shutdown for Less Than or Equal to 7 Days:

Filtration Systems
When you put the system back into operation, flush the system for a minimum of 5 minutes by letting the outlet water run to the drain and then proceed with normal operations. For the systems with multiple outlet ports, flush for a minimum of 5 minutes through all ports.
RO Systems
When you put the system back into operation, empty the tank through the outlet port until the pump turns on. Once the pump is on, flush the system for 10 minutes by letting the outlet water run to the drain and then proceed with normal operations. For the systems with multiple outlet ports, flush for a minimum of 10 minutes through all ports.

Shutdown for Greater Than 7 Days:
All Systems (Filtration and RO)
Remove all existing filtration elements that are present in the system (pre-filters, carbon filters &/or RO cartridges) and dispose. Disinfect the system as instructed in the applicable Installation and Operations Guide for that specific system.
After the disinfection process is complete, replace the filtration elements with all new pre-filters, carbon filters &/or RO cartridges. Flush the system as instructed in the applicable IO Guide to complete the procedure.


Softeners
Initiate a manual regeneration.
Shutdown for Greater Than 30 Days:


Softeners
Disinfect per the Installation and Operation Guide for that specific unit. Generally speaking, it is adding some bleach to the brine tank before initiating a manual regeneration.


Assumptions
Pentair assumes the following in providing this guidance: Incoming water is potable. • There is no boil-water advisory or boil-water order issued by the applicable public health or governmental authority. • System is being maintained within normal operating temperature and other conditions as set forth in the applicable specification sheet.
If you have concerns or cannot confirm these assumptions for the system, follow the instructions above under the section entitled “Shutdown for Greater Than 7 Days”.

Fort Lauderdale Issues City Wide Boil Water Notice! What should you do to your Everpure water filtration system after a water main break and boil water alert?

https://www.fortlauderdale.gov/Home/Components/News/News/3724/16

If you have a water main break in your area and you fall under a boil water alert you should change all filters and membranes installing new, unused filters or membrane cartridges after you have completely sanitized your system. Boil water alerts are often issued by water municipalities when damage occurs to water lines.  These alerts can also be issued if there is a loss in water pressure, allowing bacteria to backwash into the water pipes. Minerals and viruses like E.coli, cryptosporidium, and giardia, are all things that may get into water when a pipe breaks or during a natural disaster, like flooding. Below is Everpure’s Technical Service Bulletin regarding water quality emergencies and the procedures to place your system back into operation after a boil water alert.
Everpure Technical Service Bulletin 
File No: 011414 
Subject: Responding to Water Quality Emergencies
RESPONDING TO WATER QUALITY EMERGENCIES 
Natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods and hurricanes cause contamination of municipal water systems over a large area. Industrial and other chemical leaks can also cause contamination of water supplies. If a water quality emergency occurs in your location, follow your local municipality’s instructions for addressing the emergency. If a boil order is issued, follow that boil order advisory until you have been notified by local authorities that your water is potable and safe to use.
Following is our recommended procedure for cleaning and start-up of Pentair water treatment systems using Pentair filters and RO membranes for commercial foodservice applications.
PENTAIR® OBEYING BOIL WATER ADVISORIES: 
Obey them, period!
Contamination due to breaks in the mains, general flooding, or damage to the municipal waterworks itself should not be confused with situations in which contamination by protozoan cysts (e.g. Cryptosporidium, Giardia) is discovered in a water supply. Everpure submicron filters and RO membranes are NSF-Certified for removing such cysts, but not for killing or removing dangerous bacteria and viruses, which must be assumed to be present during the aftermath of a disaster, chemical spill or other water emergency.
When a Boil Water Advisory is announced and it is clear that there has been gross contamination, operators should stop using their filtration or RO system and boil their water as advised by their local authorities, until:

  1. The “all clear” is given by local water authorities
  2. Plumbing systems in your facility have been disinfected
  3. Your Pentair system has been cleaned and any old or contaminated filter or RO cartridges have been replaced with new ones
    CLEANUP OF PENTAIR SYSTEMS: 
    When safe water is available again, all water-using equipment should be sanitized with an approved disinfectant such as diluted chlorine bleach (5.25% sodium hypochlorite). The recommended dosage is 100-200 mg/L chlorine, which is easy to make. Fresh bleach has about 50 mg of chlorine in each mL, or about 500 mg in a capful. Four capfuls or an ounce in a 2-1/2 gal. bucket of water makes about 200 mg/L. Add a few drops of cleaning concentrate (e.g. dish detergent) to this solution and use it to clean external surfaces. Unexposed, interior plumbing surfaces can be sanitized in place using a Pentair Everpure JT Sanitizing/Flushing Cartridge. (Contact your local distributor or sales agent to acquire the JT can). This is an empty housing which can be filled with any cleaning or sanitizing solution and then be inserted into Everpure-branded filter heads. When the flow of water resumes, the disinfectant will be fed into the lines. When a strong chlorine smell is evident at the closest outlet, the flow should be stopped and the sanitizing solution left to soak for at least 30 minutes. When sanitization is complete, remove the flushing cartridge and install new, unused filters or membrane cartridges. Rinse the equipment by flushing water through the system as directed in your system’s Installation and Operation manual. Return your filtration or RO system to service.
    POST-EMERGENCY SYSTEM OPERATION:
    Follow the replacement cartridge change-out schedule per your system’s specifications. We suggest that you continue to monitor and follow your local water authority’s post-emergency recommendations. Please note that water problems caused by natural disasters often include high turbidity, even muddy, conditions. As a result, filter cartridges may clog faster and need replacing sooner than usual.
    If you have any questions regarding these instructions or require additional assistance please call us at 1-800-942-7873 or email us at info@filterpure.com

Introducing the Everpure CONSERV HE-3, High Efficiency Blended Reverse Osmosis System.

New for 2019, Pentair Everpure has just introduced the next generation in high efficiency commercial MRS systems, (Mineral Reduction Systems). Building upon the incredible success of the MRS600HEII system, the Industry standard in commercial blended reverse osmosis systems, the new CONSERV HE-3 brings with it a much smaller footprint combined with it’s own storage tank, instant expandability, (up to 880 gpm) and online monitoring. Perfect for chain Food and Beverage Retailers, Specialty Coffee and Institutional Food Service. Applications include Coffee Brewers, Espresso, Steamers, Combi Ovens and Ice.

Features include;

 Consistently High Water Quality

With precision TDS blending, the system creates customer-specific mineral concentration targets and automatically maintains these output TDS levels for optimum beverage flavor and aroma. This also prevents damage to foodservice equipment.

Remote Monitoring Capability

Exclusive remote monitoring technology provides real-time, internet-accessible information on output water quality, system status, maintenance requirements, and operating analytics. This proactive approach helps improve response to water changes or equipment downtime.

Easily Expandable Capacity

Standard Conserv HE-3 System capacity is 440 gallons per day. For larger and growing operations, increasing output to 880 gallons per day is “plug and play” simple by adding a second RO membrane and post-filter. This is a design feature no competitor can match.

Significant Water Savings

High recovery RO membrane technology reduces water waste up to 80% versus conventional RO, resulting in lower sewer charges and a smaller environmental footprint. System settings can be adjusted based on local incoming water quality to maximize output.

Higher Cartridge Capacity

Filter cartridge and RO membranes have a higher grade cartridge capacity that can handle a broad range of incoming water quality.

 Robust Third-Party Certifications

This system is Tested and Certified by NSF International against NSF/ANSI Standard 58 for the reduction of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS); and NSF/ANSI Standards 42 and 53 for the reduction of Chlorine Taste & Odor, and Cyst.

Bacteriostatic Pretreatment

The system’s cartridges are embedded with a proprietary bacteriostatic technology that effectively inhibits the growth of bacteria on the filter media that can decrease product life.
