GENERAL FUNCTION

The drumfilter will filter solid waste particles from the water. The water will enter the filter at this inlet chamber and then flow into the
drum. Waste particles will deposit on the inside of the drum which will decrease the output flow of clean water through the drum. This will
cause a change in water level inside and outside the drum. The level switch will detect this change in water level and send a signal to the
controller to activate the cleaning process. The controller will then activate the motor to rotate the drum and activate the power supply to
the cleaning pump/solenoid valve to provide the spray nozzles with water. The water pressure will rinse off the waste particles from the
drum. The dirty water will leave the filter through the waste gutter. You can choose to rinse with clean pond water (from outside the drum)
with an external (optional) cleaning pump or with tap water (minimum pressure 2 bar, max. pressure 4 bar) with an (optional) solenoid
valve.
If you clean with pond water the water loss should be compensated (with an automatic top up system for example) to guarantee a correct
functioning system.
The cleaning process intervals are determined by the pollution in the water but the controller will automatically rinse the filter every hour
for 10 seconds.
