F i l o x S e r i e s F i l t e r Installation Operation Maintenance Manual Installation Operation Maintenance Manual GENERAL NOTES These instructions cover the FILOX Range of filters, which includes model numbers from CF1044 to CF 3072. It is recommended that these instructions are read thoroughly before commencing any work on the unit, particularly if you have no previous experience of installing and using a filter.
The feed water flows under pressure to the control valve on the vessel where it is directed through to the filtration media. Filox systems built with WS1, 1.5 or 2 valves will bypass raw water during backwash. For this reason the systems are set to backwash at 2:00 AM.

F i l o x S e r i e s F i l t e r Installation Operation Maintenance Manual REGENERATION/BACKWASH The Backwash Process The backwash process consists of two stages:- Backwash - Water flows upwards through the media bed, and out to a drain. As it does so it separates the deposits from the filter media and cleans off any particles of dirt or pipework corrosion products, which may have accumulated during the service cycle.
F i l o x S e r i e s F i l t e r Installation Operation Maintenance Manual PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKS MECHANICAL 5.1.1 Foundation/Drainage The filter will not require any special foundations, provided that a firm, level area, which is capable of supporting the working weight, is available. (See Engineering Data, Section 11.2) Unwanted water from the backwash process must flow to drain, and so an open drain or gully, capable of passing the necessary flow is required (see...

F I L O X S e r i e s F i l t e r COMMISSIONING 7.3.1 The objective of commissioning is to fill the filter with water, check for leaks and prepare it for service. The simplest way to commission the unit is to initiate a backwash.
Perform a chlorinated backwash to remove any organic build up on the media. Check filter media depth against original level. Annually Inspect and clean/replace as necessary the piston and the internal seals. A competent engineer familiar with Clack valves should perform this. FILOX WS ISS 1 \page 18...
