xclear Sieve Gravity Fed Montageanleitung Seite 6

INTRODUCTION
Water
The Xclear gravity fed Sieve is a pre-filter to filter waste solids from the water. This technique is based upon the sieve-bend screen. A sieve
bend screen consists of hundreds of sharp stainless steel profile wires with very small slot openings where the water can go through but the
solids stay on the sieve bend (see picture).
In practice it works as follows:
The water enters at A and will go upwards and fall over at B. The water
goes through the sieve bend (C) and the waste solids will slowly go down
to the waste area (D). At the waste outlet of the filter (E) is a sliding valve
to easily wash away the waste with water. When the water in the tank
underneath the sieve-bend will not be pumped away fast enough the
water will rise which makes the floater (F) go up. The float is connected
to a pipe that will push down the bended plate (G) to reduce the
incoming water flow. The pump will be connected to the pipe (H). This
pipe and the water guide (I) will prevent the pump from sucking in air
bubbles. An extra advantage of this pre-filter is that the water will be
provided with extra oxygen, when it goes through the slots.

XCLEAR GRAVITY FED SIEVE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Please read these instructions before you start installing. If you have some questions after reading this manual, please contact your Xclear Sieve
dealer before you start installing to prevent mistakes. Gravity (pond fed), equal to the water level in a direct connection with the bottom drain
(and/or skimmer). Below you see a schematic drawing of a possible gravity installation

Pond Water Level Skimmer
Pond
Bottom drain
Make sure the Xclear Sieve is on an equal, level, underground. The upper edge of the Xclear Sieve must be 1 cm above the maximum water level.
Between the bottom drain and the Xclear Sieve we strongly advise you to use a slide valve to separate the Xclear Sieve from the pond when
necessary.
INLETS
The inlets of the Xclear gravity fed Sieve are made of 110mm (4") PE pipe
on which you can use the supplied flexible boot fittings. Since the Xclear
Sieve is made of PE you cannot make glue connections. The Xclear Sieve
has 2 inlets of 110 mm (4") of which one can be closed with the supplied
flexible end cap.
NOTE: Make sure the edge of the Xclear gravity fed Sieve
is 1 cm higher than the maximum water level
