flow rate.
- If water volume is very low, perform a 2 - minute test and
divide flow by 2.
- If water volume is more than your bucket can hold in 1 minute,
take a 30 second flow test and multiply the result by 2.
- Record the results in gpm (gallons per minute) lpm (litres
per minute).
Use this procedure for all of the required flow tests as listed in
the following "System testing section".
SYSTEM TESTING
1- Set up unit to run as per operation/owners manual.
2- Before connecting the supply water hose to the machine,
measure the water flow from the end of the hose(s).
Supply water flow _______________________________lpm
Supply water flow ______________________________ gpm
3. Measure the TDS and temperature of the supply water.
Supply water TDS ______________________________ppm
Supply water temperature _________________________ °C
4. Connect the supply water hose to the machine and turn on
the water. Open the flush valve to purge the air from the system.
Then close the flush valve and read the pressure on the gauge.
Supply water pressure ___________________________ bar
5. Open the flush valve. Start the motor on the machine. Mea-
sure the water flow from the flush valve.
Flush water flow________________________________ lpm
Flush water flow________________________________gpm
6. Open the pure water valve. Allow water to flow onto the ground
or into a drain. For testing purposes, do not connect a pole hose.
Close flush valve. Wait for 1 minute to allow system to stabilize.
Read the system operating pressure on gauge.
System operating pressure ________________________ bar
7. Measure the water flow from the wastewater hose.
Wastewater flow ________________________________ lpm
Wastewater flow _______________________________ gpm
8. Measure the water flow from the pure water hose.
Pure water flow ________________________________ lpm
Pure water flow ________________________________ gpm
9. Measure the TDS of the pure water.
Pure water TDS _______________________________ ppm
10. Measure the TDS of the wastewater.
Wastewater TDS _______________________________ ppm
11. Turn off machine and compare test results to normal ope-
ration specifications on System analysis.
Note: Perform the operations in this order.
Flush water flow
____ _____ 12 lpm about (3,2 gpm abt.)
System operating pressure ____ _____ 6 - 7 bar (90-100 psi) abt.
Wastewater flow
____ _____ 3 lpm abt. (0,8 gpm abt.)
Wastewater TDS
____ _____
Pure water flow
____ _____ 4 - 5 lpm abt. (1,20 gpm abt.)
abt.)
Pure water TDS
______ ______ Less than 10 ppm for all machines.
Identify the parameters that are outside of the normal range and use the information in the following troubleshooting matrix to
correct the situation.
If after performing all tests and working through the matrix, you still have operational issues, please fill out this form completely
before contacting service centre. This information is required for proper evaluation of the system.

SYSTEM ANALYSIS
The following information of flows and pressures are median
values for the system. All system parameters will vary due to
water supply temperature and TDS level. System setup may
also affect the readings. i.e. extension cord size and length,
hose lengths and diameters. It is imperative to connect the
machine directly to the water and power source when evaluating
performance.
