The AquaSentry provides pure clean safe hi-flow drinking water without the need for power chemicals or replacement membranes and operating procedures are simple and easy to undertake.

Operating the AquaSentry

To ensure the correct flow of water is maintained turn all taps off before commencing each operating procedure:

Manual Cleaning Diagrams

Fill the AquaSentry with Water:

Open T1 (dirty water in) & T4 (vent). This fills the AquaSentry with raw water. Close T4 (vent) when water flows out and briefly open tap T6 (air purge) to clear the lines of any trapped air.

Produce Drinking water:

Open T1 (dirty water in) and T3 (clean water out) to commence the flow of drinking water.

1) Rotate the Cleaning Handles three turns anticlockwise to release the O ring seal

3 turns to unseal

Manual Cleaning (Undertaken Daily):

Undertake manual cleaning at least once a day or more often if the flow of drinking water slows. Manual cleaning is carried out while the AquaSentry is full of water. Don’t forget to turn all taps off before commencing.

1)	Rotate the Cleaning Handles three turns anticlockwise to release the O ring seal.
2)	Move the Cleaning Handles back and forth vigorously for 1 minute. This agitates and cleans the filter module located inside the AquaSentry. Some leakage may occur around the rotating shaft while cleaning is undertaken – this is not a problem.
3)	Open T4 (vent) & T2 (backwash out) to allow the backwash water to drain away and continue moving the Cleaning Handles until the backwash is complete
4)	If necessary, repeat the manual cleaning procedure until the wastewater from T2 (backwash out) is the same colour as the dirty (raw) water passing into the unit through T1 (dirty water in).
5)	Rotate the cleaning Handles three turns clockwise to reseal the O rings.
6)	The “Manual Cleaning Procedure” is now complete and the unit can again be refilled water.

2) Move the Cleaning Handles back and forth vigorously for 1 minute to clean

Move back and forth

6) Rotate the cleaning Handles three turns clockwise to reseal the O ring

3 turns to reseal

Chemical Cleaning (Undertaken Monthly):

Undertake chemical cleaning once a month or more often if the flow of drinking water slows.
Chemical Cleaning is undertaken using chlorine to remove organic and other matter not easily removed by the “Manual Clean”.

First undertake a “Manual Clean Procedure” but leave the unit empty (do not refill).
Add water to the Chlorine Tank until ¾ full.
Add chlorine to the chlorine tank (see teaspoon amounts below) and use a mixing stick to stir until dissolved:
2 Teaspoons of Chlorine powder with 65% available chlorine (700g / kg).
          OR
3 Teaspoons of Chlorine powder with 55% available chlorine (550g / kg).
          OR
4 Teaspoons of Chlorine powder with 35% available chlorine (350g / kg).
          OR
6 Teaspoons of Chlorine powder with 25% available chlorine (250g / kg).
       OR
100 Millilitres of Liquid chlorine (Sodium Hypochlorite) with 12% available chlorine.

Chemical Clean Diagram
First add water to the chlorine
tank then add the required
amount of chlorine and stir to
dissolve.

Next open T5 to allow the
chlorine solution to drain into
the empty AquaSentry then close T5.

Move the cleaning handles to
stir and allow the AquaSentry to
soak for 2 hours. After soaking
carry out a manual clean.

Open T5 (chlorine) to allow the chlorine tank to drain, than close T5.
Fill the AquaSentry with water by opening T1 & T4 until water flows out of T4 than close both taps.
Move the Cleaning Handles back and forth a few times to mix the chlorine inside the unit than leave to soak for at least 2 hours.
After soaking, undertake a “Manual Clean” to remove the chlorine solution.
The “Chemical Cleaning” is now complete. The unit can again be refilled water.

Chemical Cleaning using Citric Acid. If high levels of Iron or other dissolved contaminates are present undertake periodic chemical cleaning using 500 grams of Citric Acid instead of chlorine. Citric acid cleaning is undertaken in addition to the regular chemical cleaning program using chlorine.
