    3. Description & Operation 3.1 Disc Filtration Technology Arkal Filtration Systems uses a specially designed disc filtration technology. Thin, color-coded polypropylene discs are diagonally grooved on both sides to a specific micron size. A series of these discs are then stacked and compressed on a specially designed spine.
  • Page 6 3.2 Spin Klin Technology Spin Klin Spine - The Core of the Spin Klin Filtration System ® ® The Spin Klin discs are stacked on the Spin Klin spine. The discs are color-coded according to micron size, and are assembled to suit your water filtration requirements.
  • Page 7 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. Back-flush 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.

    Filtration Process During the filtration process the water flows through the inlet manifold into the filters through their 4”x4” inlet valves. The filtered water flows through the outlet manifold of the system. Back-flush Process The back-flush process begins with a signal from the control unit activated by the pressure difference between the inlet and the outlet or by a time interval.

    6. Installation Make sure that the inlet and outlet orientation is correct (shown by arrows on filter). Prior to start-up check for any transport damage to the unit (system operates under pressure!). Connect a back-flush drainage line. Verify that all the cover clamps are properly closed! Connect air pressure to the 3-way valves and solenoids.
  • Page 11 Control  Refer to the control chapter of this document before installing and operating the controller.  Make sure that the voltage of both the solenoid unit and controller are correct.  Check that the ∆P hydraulic switch HIGH and LOW pressure lines are correctly connected to the appropriate ports.
  • Page 12 7. Galaxy Spin Klin - System Maintenance Monthly Maintenance Check inlet /outlet pressures: In case the pressure differential is above 5 m / 7 PSI activate automatic back-flush 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 back-flush valve seals.
  • Page 13 SEASONAL MAINTENANCE - DISCS To guarantee thorough cleaning the following steps should be taken: Close the water inlet after back-flushing the systems. Make certain that there is no pressure in the system and unscrew the nuts. (Figure 1) Open the clamp. (Figure 2) Remove the cover.
  • Page 14 Attention: When carrying out any of the following seasonal maintenance, service, or cleaning the discs – After back-flushing the system and after closing the water inlet, make certain that there is no pressure in the system! Unscrew the nuts and open the clamp. Please Note: ...
  • Page 15 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 16 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: Pour 10 liters of water into one of the large containers. Carefully add 2 liters of Hydrochloric Acid (30%) into the water.
