INSTALLATION

The drumfilter must be placed on a firm, flat (level!) surface. The drumfilter is suited for gravity- and pump fed applications.
Default position of the level switch is for gravity application (level switch in drum chamber).
For pump fed application you must change the position of the level switch from the drum chamber mounting bracket to the inlet chamber
mounting bracket. For pump fed application the level switch must be rotated 180 degrees (see illustration). Do not install the plastic inserts
(see illustration) in a pump fed application to prevent water loss in case of a technical problem. These openings in the wall will allow
(unfiltered) water to overflow to the drum chamber and back to the pond.
The drumfilter is fitted with 3 Ø110 mm inlets. If
you do not use all 3 of them we recommend to
keep the middle inlet closed. The left and right
inlets will not enter the drum directly but first hit
the walls of the inlet chamber which allows a more
quite flow into the drum. When you use all 3 inlets
we recommend to use the middle inlet for the pipe
with the least flow (like the skimmer or the bottom
drain that is installed the farthest from the
drumfilter). We strongly recommend the use of a
slide valve for every incoming pipe to regulate the
flow individually.
TIP: It is also advisable to have a direct slide valve
to waste on every incoming pipe. This way you can
flush the bottom drains direct to waste without
burdening the rest of the filter system (see
example gravity application).
