The drumfilter is fitted with 3 Ø110 mm inlets. If you do not use all 3 of them we
recommend to keep the middle inlet closed. The left and right inlets will not enter the
drum directly but first hit the walls of the inlet chamber which allows a more quite flow
into the drum. When you use all 3 inlets we recommend to use the middle inlet for the
pipe with the least flow (like the skimmer or the bottom drain that is installed the
farthest from the drumfilter). We strongly recommend the use of a slide valve for every
incoming pipe to regulate the flow individually.
TIP: It is also advisable to have a direct slide valve to waste on every incoming pipe. This
way you can flush the bottom drains direct to waste without burdening the rest of the
filter system (see example gravity application).
AQUAFORTE PRIME COMBI-DRUM FILTER SYSTEM
The perfect combination for mechanical & biological filtration in one housing. Very compact size for a total filter system, fits on 1 pallet!
The bio chamber has a volume of over 200 liters and is therefore suitable for at least 100 liters of media/biorings (such as KNS, Helix, etc.).
Because of the slots in the passage, the bio chamber is not suitable for Eco Pondchips. Bio media is not included. Bio chamber is equipped
with large membrane aerator and piping for air pump connection. Max. flow ±30m³/h. Recommended air pump: 40-60 l/m.
- Housing made of PP.
- Controller with custom software operation including many safety options like motor slow start, motor amp protection, manual cleaning
button, standard hourly cleaning, etc.
- Suited for pump fed and gravity fed operation (inlet chamber and drum chamber are both fitted with a mounting bracket for the float
switch). Float switch can be easily adjusted in height.
- Fitted with overflow pipe.
- Fitted with cover switch (cuts the power off to the motor, cleaning pump and UV-C unit for safety).
- Size (L x W x H): 99 x 62 x 100 cm.
INSTALLATION
The drumfilter must be placed on a firm, flat (level!) surface. The drumfilter is suited for gravity- and pump fed applications.
Default position of the level switch is for gravity application (level switch in drum chamber).
For gravity application the installing height (above the water level of the pond ) is minimum 10 cm from the top of the waste gutter (see
drawing). The top of the waste gutter is the physical limit for the water level (when the pump is not running). Installing below this level
will cause water loss over the edge of the waste gutter! A safe limit is 1-2 cm below the edge of the waste gutter. Keep in mind that there
will be moving water in the pipe system when you stop the pump that causes some “wave” effect in the water level. These small water
level fluctuations can cause some water loss over the edge of the waste outlet.
