Safety Regulations
System Safety
The system is designed with a pressure relief valve that opens when the pressure reaches 10 bar. This allows for a greater flow through the waste water outlet, reducing the pressure in the system and through the pure water outlet. If the pressure exceeds the standard 10 bar, an activation switch is triggered and the system will automatically switch off. It is important to ensure the system is not used with a damaged cable and is placed on an even surface with sufficient stability.
Personal Safety
Use personal protective equipment, such as protective gloves and footwear,
to avoid personal injury. Additional protective equipment such as a dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection may be required
depending on the safety regulations in the operator’s surroundings.

System Safety
The Bravo® tank is manufactured with the safety of the operator in mind, including some key features such as result in serious personal injury.
Over Pressure
- If the water pressure in the Bravo® tank trolley system is above the standard 10bar pressure, the pressure relief valve opens on the pump allowing a greater flow through the waste water outlet, reducing the pressure in the system and through the pure water outlet.
Over Heating
- If the powerful booster pump overheats on the Bravo® tank system, an activation switch is triggered and the system will automatically switch off.
Electrical Hazards
- As the Bravo® tank system is powered by an electrical source, never use the equipment in the rain, snow or strong winds.
- Never use the filtration system to clean people and/or animals.
- Before each use, undertake a visual check on all electrical cables for damage. Never use the filtration system with a damaged cable.
Mechanical Hazards
- To avoid all mechanical hazards, place the Bravo® tank system on an even surface, and ensure sufficient stability.
Use only original accessories that come with the Bravo® tank system, offering maximum quality and security. Failure to use original accessories absolves Varitech Systems Ltd, the manufacturer from all liability.
Personal Safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the
Bravo® tank system. Do not use the Bravo® tank system while you are tired or
under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating the tank system may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment to avoid personal injury:
Additional protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection may be required depending on the safety regulations in the operator surroundings.
Filling The Tank
-
Ensure that the flush valve is closed and needle valve on the R.O. filter is fully open (turn anti-clockwise).
-
Switch the solenoid switch ‘on’ to fill. (Hold the Up and Down Arrow on Controller 2)
-
Connect a hose to the port marked ‘Waste’.
This hose is the waste water hose and must discharge into the nearest suitable drain. -
Connect a hose from the mains water supply, to the port marked ‘Water Inlet’ and turn on the water supply. Allow the water to flow through the system and out the waste water hose, until all air has been
purged from the system. -
Adjust the needle valve, by turning it clockwise, until a 50:50 ratio of water to tank and water to waste is achieved. (Ideally a ratio of 40:60, pure/waste is required for maximum R.O. efficiency). Use a measuring jug to set this ratio. Once the ratio is accurate, count the number of revolutions which the needle valve has been opened. By remembering this number, future set ups will not require the use of a measuring jug , simply count the revolutions when closing the needle valve.
-
The solenoid valve will automatically shut off when the tank is full. Remember to switch off the solenoid if you wish to turn filling off earlier. Hold up and down arrows to turn off the solenoid valve.
To Dispense Pure Water
- Attach the 5mtr hose supplied to the port marked ‘Feed’ and to the hosereel. If you have a static hose reel mounted in the vehicle, it would already be connected, ready for use. Connect the other end of the hose on the hosereel to the waterfed pole.
- Switch the flow controller ‘on’ by pressing the button, and adjust the flow of water to the pole by increasing the number, until a desired flow is achieved.
- The pump MUST run continuously. If it is running intermittently whilst water is flowing to the pole, decrease the speed on the flow controller by pressing the button, until the pump runs continuously. Different pole lengths may require this setting to be altered.
- When you have completed the cleaning task, switch the pump off before disconnecting the hoses from the poles and hosereels, by pressing and holding the button.
The system must not be stored under pressure as this with invalidate the warranty.
Maintenance
Streamline water filtration systems are designed to be used for window
cleaning, bus cleaning, and boat cleaning, etc. where a spot-free finish is
required. To achieve this, the system has a series of filters to produce pure
water with a reading of 0ppm. However, the filters require maintenance from
time to time to maintain optimum efficiency.
If you have purchased a de-ionising resin bead system, only recommended for
use in soft water areas, you are required to regularly take water samples from
the outlet of the last resin filter and test the ppm reading with the TDS
meter supplied. Anything from 0ppm to 5ppm is acceptable. Any reading above
5ppm indicates that the resin beads are becoming spent and need replacing.
Debris and carbon filters should be replaced at least every three months.
If you have purchased a reverse osmosis
(hereafter referred to as r.o.) filter system, suitable for use in hard water
areas, it is very important that the maintenance and procedures are carried
out regularly and accurately to ensure that your system produces water
inexpensively and efficiently.
Prefilter & Carbon Filter
The first two filters are debris and carbon pre-filters and we recommend that
these are replaced at least every three months. This can be done by simply
unscrewing the filter bowls, replacing the cartridges and then screwing the
bowls back on again, hand tight only!
Softner Filter
The third blue filter vessel is a softening resin filter which removes the
hardness from the water before it enters the r.o. filter. The resin becomes
spent and can be regenerated with softening salt. The frequency of the
regenera-tion depends on the TDS reading of the water supply.
As an example, if the TDS reading of the water supply is 100ppm, the softener
resin is able to treat approximately 2250-litres of water. If the TDS reading
of the water supply is 200ppm the softener resin is able to treat half this
amount. Therefore, given a reading of 100ppm, the resin will need to be
regenerated every 900 litres of water collected, as the r.o. filter only
retains 40% of the total incoming water. To regenerate the softener resin,
fill the cartridge in the salt housing with softening salt.
Disconnect the red hose from the outlet of the r.o. filter and connect it to
the outlet of the softener resin filter (filter 3), thus allowing the softener
salt to run to waste. Connect the mains supply hose to the filling port and
turn on the mains water supply. Allow the brine solution to flow through the
softener resin filter slowly until the salt has completely dissolved. Turn off
the water supply, allow the water pressure to drop completely, and repeat the
above process with a second fill of salt. Once the second fill has dissolved,
allow the water to flow for a further five minutes in order to flush the salt
out of the softener resin filter. This final rinse is very important, as salt
ingress into the RO filter could cause damage to the membrane.
Once this regeneration process is complete, remove the red hose and re-connect
the blue hose as before.
Then open up the Flushing Valve for 30 minutes allowing water to flow out the
rear pipe down the drain. This operation flushes the RO Membrane of any Debris
and keeps it in prestige condition.
RO Membrane
The reverse osmosis filter requires a backwash periodically and we would
recommend doing this every time you do a regeneration pro-cess on the
softening resin filter. This can be done using the purified water from the
tank. To do this, open the needle valve completely (anti-clockwise).
Disconnect the two quick couplers from the Filter Five inlet and Filter Three
outlet respectively and join them using the joiner supplied. Switch on the
pump. Run this mode for five minutes, and then reconnect all hoses as before.
DI Filters
The last blue filter vessel contains deionising resin. This filter polishes
the water as it is pumped from the tank to the pole. The de-ionising resin
cannot be regenerated and needs replacing should your TDS reading rise above
005ppm.
The Pumps
The pumps are protected by a pre-filter with a clear top, allowing for visual
inspection. If any debris accumulates in the pre-filter, unscrew the top and
flush out with clean water.
The pumps have a built in pressure switch. When switched on it will pump until
it has reached the maximum pressure setting before cutting out. This is a
safety feature. However, the pressure switch may burn out if the pump is
allowed to run intermittently. To avoid this happening, make sure that the
pump speed is correctly set on the flow controller.
The pump must not be stored under pressure as this will invalidate the
warranty.
