3.3 Mode of Operation A hydraulic command [1], which pressurizes the upper control chamber [2], forces the diaphragm [3] actuated plug assembly [4] to move towards the supply port seat [5], eventually sealing it drip tight. This allows flow from the filter through the drain port seat [6]. Venting the upper control chamber causes the line pressure, together with the spring [7] force, to move the valve back to filtration mode.
6. P & ID Control Refer to the manufacturer’s handbook before installing the controller. Make sure that the voltage of both the solenoid unit and controller are correct. Set the manual operation button to automatic. Check that the ∆P hydraulic switch HIGH and LOW pressure lines are correctly connected to the appropriate ports.
7. Apollo 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.

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 pin, open the clamp and remove the cover. (Figure 1) Unscrew the butterfly nuts on the Figure 1...

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.

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.

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.
