Page 8: Installation
Installation Make sure that the Minima is placed onto a flat surface . The unit is not designed to be moved once it contains water. When you receive your Minima the spray bar will be in ‘transit position’. Once unpacked, lift the spray bar enough to turn the valve clockwise half a turn, until tight and then gently place the spray bar back down into its holder. -

Making Adjustments Your DracoDrum allows you to make 2 adjustments to it, the length of the wash and the height of the water sensor in gravity mode. -
Page 10: Adjusting The Height Of The Sensor
Adjusting the height of the sensor For gravity fed units the sensor is on the clean side of the drum. This sensor is triggered when the micron screen becomes dirty and blocked and the water level starts to drop as not enough water is able to get through. -

All drums produce some noise whilst they are going through a wash cycle and the DracoDrum Minima is no different. However with the lid down and, in our own system, the decking covers down , it is very much just a background noise, it does not sound like someone is trying to excavate your back garden and in fact we have found it allows you a smile knowing that your Drum is doing its thing whilst you can enjoy the serenity of your koi and garden. -
Page 12: Maintenance
General Periodically to is wise to purge your filter. Although DracoDrum filters down to 58 micron, there are still particles smaller than this in the waste column. These can congregate within a filter and on our own heavily stocked system, a bi-monthly cleanout is usually carried out. You will get a feeling for how often you need to do this as every system is different. - Page 13 (gravity) or drop the drum lower in the water (pump) to resolve this. Diagnostics The DracoDrum should be virtually problem free, but like any electro mechanical device, it may occasionally need help. The 4 LED’s on the control panel can help to diagnose issues.
