TACTICAL WATER PURIFICATION SYSTEM (TWPS)
PREPARATION FOR USE AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
COLD WEATHER SET-UP OPERATION UNDER UNUSUAL CONDITIONS
2. Connect the raw water adaptors and hoses as follows:
WARNING
Health hazard. Do not attempt to use product water hoses to handle raw water or
raw water hoses to handle product water. When installed with the proper adaptors
as directed, the hoses cannot be interchanged. Failure to observe this warning
and mixing hoses could cause contamination of water resulting in serious illness.
a. Collect the following hoses and adaptor assemblies:
1) One or two 2 in. x 50 ft., green-banded raw water discharge hoses.
2) One 2 in. x 10 ft., green-banded raw water suction hose.
3) Adaptor assemblies A-01, A-02, and A-05.
4) One 1 in. x 5 ft. clear plastic priming vent hose.
b. Inspect the gaskets in the female ends of the hoses. Replace any damaged or missing
gaskets.
c. Attach Adaptor A-01 to the suction inlet of the motor-driven pump. Position so that the
bolt on the adaptor's check valve is in the vertical position. Wrap the strap around the
pump frame and buckle the strap. Secure firmly to support the adaptor and hose and
prevent air from entering the pump suction.
d. Attach Adaptor A-02 to the discharge outlet of the motor-driven pump.
e. Connect the priming vent hose to Adaptor A-02.
f. Connect, as needed to reach the MF feed tank location, one or two 2 in. x 50 ft., green-
banded discharge hoses to Adaptor A-02 at the discharge of Motor-Driven Pump P-2.
g. Connect Adaptor A-05 to the end of the discharge hose that is coming from A-02.
h. Connect the 2 in. x 10 ft., green-banded suction hose to Adaptor A-05.
WARNING
Electrical hazard. The TWPS operates on 416 Volts AC.
Making electrical
connections to the TWPS power distribution panel must be coordinated with the
procedures for establishing electrical power to the TWPS. Do NOT connect the
Motor-Driven Pump P-2 electrical power cable at this time. Failure to observe this
warning may result in serious injury or death from electrocution.
SODIUM BISULFITE SYSTEM SET-UP
CAUTION
Potential for damage to the MF elements and RO membranes. Chlorine will
destroy the MF elements and RO membranes. If the raw water source is
chlorinated, sodium bisulfite must be mixed into the raw water before it is pumped
into the MF feed tank. Sodium bisulfite neutralizes the chlorine. Failure to observe
this caution will result in the destruction of the MF elements and RO membranes.
The sodium bisulfite system MUST be set up before chlorinated raw water is pumped into the MF feed
tank. The instructions for setting up the sodium bisulfite system are described in WP 0010, Other Set-
Ups Operation Under Unusual Conditions.
