This Arkal 2”...
  • Page 3 Operation During the filtration stage, water flows through the inlet manifold and is distributed through the 2” x 2” backwash valves into the Spin Klin filters. The water then passes through the filter elements to the outlet manifold for consumer use. Description of the Backwashing Process The controller transmits an electrical command to the first solenoid according to either differential pressure or time.
  • Page 4 Spin Klin Technology- Spin Klin Spine General: The Spin Klin discs are stacked on the Spin Klin spine. The discs are color-coded by micron size, and are assembled according your water filtration Filtration Mode Backwash Mode requirements. The spine assembly has a spring compression unit and an internal piston which are used to alternately compress and release the discs during filtration and backwash cycles.

  • Page 7 Spin Klin – System Maintenance Monthly Maintenance Check inlet /outlet pressures: In case the pressure differential is above 5 m / 7 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 8 Seasonal Maintenance – Cleaning the Discs When manual cleaning of the discs is required, please follow the steps described below: Make sure that system is not under pressure! Release the clamp and remove the cover. (Figure 1) Unscrew the butterfly-nut on the filtration element.
  • Page 9 Cleaning Recommendations for Clogged Filtration Discs Water-formed deposits may cause clogging of the filter discs. The formation of these deposits depends on the quality of the filtered water and environmental conditions like temperature, pH, light, duration of filtration and more. Common water-formed deposits are: ...
  • Page 10 Cleaning Organic and Biological Deposits  Open the filter and remove dirty discs. Attention – Never open the filter before the pressure has been released.  Arrange the discs loosely on the plastic rope  Prepare a 5% Sodium Hypochlorite solution: 1) Pour 5 liters of water into one of the large containers.
  • Page 11 Cleaning Complex Deposits If the composition of the deposit is not known, perform the following test:  Take 5 discs for the test.  Soak 2 discs in a 5% Sodium Hypochlorite Solution. Preparation of the solution: Pour 1 cup of water into a small container, then add 1 cup of Sodium Hypochlorite (10% NaOCl).
