MANUAL XCLEAR FLOW-MATIC
AUTOMATIC BACK WASH SYSTEM
Congratulations on the purchase of your new XClear Flow-Matic automatic backwash
EN
system! The XClear Flow-Matic is designed and manufactured with demanding requirements
for quality, performance and reliability of the system. Every single component has been
extensively tested to ensure compliance with these stringent requirements.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The X-Clear Flow-Matic is an automatic backwash-system, that matches any bead filter with
side mount connections. It replaces the traditional 6-way-valves and takes care of less pressure
loss thanks to the unique flow design. The Flow-Matic uses 4 automatic 3-way-valves and a
touch-screen controller. The controller starts and stops the circulating pump and the blower
automatically and switches the automatic valves in the correct position for backwash, rinse and
filtration. The user can decide how often the Flow-Matic carries out a backwash procedure.
In addition to the automatic backwash function, the user can perform an extra (manual)
backwash by using the function in the touch-screen controller. The duration of backwash
and rinse is determined by the user. The controller can be equipped with a standard RJ45
(Ethernet) cable to control Blue Eco pumps. This way, the user can control the RPM of the Blue
Eco pump for Filtration and Backwash! This will give you the highest pump efficiency by using
a low pump speed during filtration and a higher pump speed for backwashing.
BACKWASH PROCEDURE DESCRIPTION
