Frequently Asked Questions - WRP 1000 Classic Kärcher

What is the role of the WRP 1000 Classic filter?

The WRP 1000 Classic is a water filter designed to treat oil-free wastewater from vehicle washing. It produces reusable service water for high-pressure cleaners or washing installations.

How to perform a backwash?

Turn the distributor lever to the 'RÜCKSPÜLEN/BACKWASH' position. Release the filter tension, wait 30 seconds, then tighten and release again. Repeat this cycle 10 times. Then, set the distributor to 'ERSTFILTRAT/RINSE' for 2 minutes before returning to the 'FILTRATION' position.

How often should the filter cartridge be replaced?

The filter cartridge must be replaced once a year or more often if it is clogged. Use only the original Kärcher part (p/n 5.033-239.0).

How to protect the device against frost?

The installation must be placed in a frost-proof room. In case of risk, decommission the device, remove the hoses, and run it dry to drain all water.

What supply pressure is required?

The site submersible pump must provide a pressure between 0.2 and 0.35 MPa (2 to 3.5 bar) with a minimum flow rate of 1000 l/h at 0.2 MPa.

Can I use the filtered water for final vehicle rinsing?

No, service water is only suitable for washing programs (pre-wash, high-pressure wash, brushes). It must not be used as rinse water or for applying drying aids.

What to do in case of colored or foamy service water?

Check the filter pre-tension, the sludge level in the collector, and the detergent dosage. If the problem persists, replace the filter cartridge or clean the basins.

How to adjust the filter pre-tension?

Turn the tightening lever to the left until it stops, then pull the unlocking lever forward and the tightening lever to the right until it engages in the next notch. Check the tension with the pressure gauge.

What are the daily and weekly maintenance tasks?

Daily: perform a backwash. Weekly: clean the sediment collector on the floor and check the detergent concentration to avoid foam.

Can I install the device myself?

No, installation must be carried out exclusively by Kärcher after-sales service technicians or persons authorized by Kärcher, due to specific hydraulic connections.

⚠️ Danger

Do not drink the processed water - health hazard. The cleaned waste water is not of potable quality. It still contains some residues of dirt and detergents.

Proper use

The system cleans oil-free dirt water discharged from vehicle cleaning and provides processed water to the high-pressure cleaner or the vehicle washing systems that have low water consumption (max. 1000 litres per hour). The used water can only be used for cleaning programmes (for e.g. preliminary washing, high pressure cleaning, brush cleaning). Processed water is not suitable for use as rinsing water or for applying drying aid or some other such purpose.

Cleaning is done by:

• Separating heavy parts that easily settle down in the gravel filter. Pre-requisites for smooth functioning:
• Basin system according to the water flow diagram shown in the "Function" chapter. – Oil-free waste water in circulation in the system.

Operation

Operating elements

1 Tension lever 2 Unlocking lever 3 Manometer at the filter inlet 4 Multi-channel valve 5 Filament filter 6 Overflow valve

Adjust the filter pre-tension

Proceed as follows to subsequently change the filter tension:

→ Turn the tension lever to the left until the lever reaches the stop. → Pull the unlocking lever towards the front and turn the tightening lever toward the right until the unlocking lever locks in in the next nose.

Filter operations

→ Turn the lever of the multi-channel valve in "FILTRATION" position.

Note

After longer idling times it takes a lot of effort to activate the multi-channel valve.

→ Check filter pre-tension. → Start the pump in the building.

Backwash

Note

During normal operations, you must backwash the filter at least once daily. The system does not release any processed water during the back-rinsing process.

During backwash, the dirt collected in the filament filter is removed. To do this, the filament filter is rinsed in the reverse direction. According to local regulations, the rinsed-out dirt is either directed into the sludge collection of the recycling system, an existing disposal chain, or the drainage.

→ Start the pump in the building. → Turn the lever of the multi-channel valve to the "RÜCKSPÜLEN/BACKWASH" position. → Loosen the filament filter by turning the tension lever counterclockwise. → Wait for 30 seconds. → Tighten the filament filter and loosen it immediately. → Repeat this process of waiting for 10 minutes, tightening, and loosening ten times. → Reset the filter pre-tension. → Turn the lever of the multi-channel valve to the "ERSTFILTRAT/RINSE" position. → Wait 2 minutes. → Turn the lever of the multi-channel valve to the "FILTRATION" position.

Processed water circulation

If the high-pressure cleaner or the washing system does not use up the water, the processed water is circulated to avoid foul odors.

Note

The immersion pump can be periodically switched on/off during non-operating hours (e.g., at night, over the weekend) to lower the operating hours. For this, you can connect the immersion pump via a timer to the power supply.

Maximum interval increment: 1 hour.

Frost protection

The plant must be operated in frost-free rooms. During frost, put the system out of operation and remove all traces of water:

→ Pull out the hoses. → Let the system dry-run.

Shutdown

→ Switch off the building pump. → If there is a risk of frosting, then any existing water traces must be removed (see section "Anti-freezing").

Installing the unit (only for experts)

Notice

The equipment may only be installed by a Kärcher mechanic or an individual authorized by Kärcher.

Preparing the installation place

The following requirements are necessary in order to install the equipment:

• Frost-free room with adequate ventilation and exhausts – Floor path for collecting sludge – Strong wall for fastening the system

Unpack the equipment

Unpack the equipment and dispose of the packing material properly.

Water installation

The water installation depends on the specific conditions of the existing plant components such as

- Type and model of high-pressure cleaner or washing system

Note

The processed water outlet of the system is directly connected to the water inlet of the high-pressure cleaner. This can lead to foam formation in the swimmer tank in high-pressure cleaners with a swimmer tank. In such a case, the high-pressure cleaner must be switched to suction operations (see separate operating instructions of the high-pressure cleaner).

• Type and models of building-side components (sludge collector, pump basin, etc.) – Nominal width, lengths and type of channels

Hence, the water installation must be done according to the specific local conditions. The immersion pump specifications in the building must meet the requirements outlined in the "Technical Data / Immersion Pump Requirements" section.

⚠️Danger

Risk of injury on account of tripping and falling. Lay the hoses of the plant in such a way that they do not pose a risk for tripping and falling.
