- Page 4 Modes of the filter’s Control valve Filtration Position: Water flows from port [A] (main supply) to port [B] (filter connection). Port [C] (drain water outlet) is closed by the seal. Backwash Position: Command pressure is applied to the diaphragm’s control chamber through port [D]. The diaphragm moves the sealed shaft, port [A] closes, preventing flow to the filter.
- Page 5 Mode of Operation Filtration Process During the filtration process the water flows through the inlet manifold, reaching the filters through the backwash valves. The filtered water flow through the outlet manifold into the system. Backwash Process The backwash process begins with a signal from the control unit activated by the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet or by time.

- Page 8 7. Apollo Spin Klin - System Maintenance Monthly Maintenance Check inlet /outlet pressures: In case the pressure differential is above 5 m / 7 PSI. Activate automatic backwash of the Spin Klin filter battery. In the event that the pressure differential remains high check for possible failures. Check for leakages from the drain manifold: In case there is a leakage of water during the filtration stage, check for possible failure at the backwash valve seals.
- Page 9 Seasonal Maintenance - Discs To guarantee thorough cleaning the following steps should be taken: Close the water inlet after backwashing the systems. Make sure that there is no pressure in the system, pull out the safety Figure 1 Figure 2 pin, open the clamp and remove the cover.
- Page 10 Attention: When carrying out any of the following seasonal maintenance, service, or cleaning the discs – After backwashing the system and after closing the water inlet, make sure that there is no pressure in the system! Please Note: Before removing the cover you may experience the vacuum phenomenon – which will make the removing of the cover very difficult or almost impossible.
- Page 11 If these deposits cannot be eliminated by pretreatment of the water, we recommend the following cleaning procedure: Material and Equipment A well ventilated working place. 2 small containers (1 liter), 2 large containers (15 liter) and a stirring stick, all resistant to chemicals, preferably of polypropylene.
- Page 12 Cleaning Carbonates and Iron Deposits Open the filter and remove the dirty discs. Arrange the discs loosely on the plastic rope. Prepare a 5% Solution of Hydrochloric Acid: 1) Pour 10 liters of water into one of the large containers. 2) Carefully add 2 liters of Hydrochloric Acid (30%) into the water.
