PLEASE NOTE:
• If the drain manifold is over 50’ in length, a 6” diameter drain pipe is
recommended. This will eliminate back pressure to the filter during the
backflush mode.
• If there is positive elevation of the drain manifold, the pressure required
for backflush will increase. For every 2.3 feet of elevation, an additional
1 psi must be added to the minimum downstream pressure of 30 psi.
INSTALLATION:
• Make sure that the inlet and outlet orientation is correct (shown by arrows on filter).
• Prior to start-up, check for any damage to the unit.
• Connect backflush drain manifold.
• Cover clamps need to be properly closed with safety pins secured.
• Verify the solenoids are correct as ordered before connecting the wires to the backflush controller.
DRAIN MANIFOLD INSTALLATION:
BACKFLUSH CONTROLLER ELECTRICAL WIRE HOOK-UP:
• Use 1/2” conduit and 16 gauge wire or larger from the controller
to the solenoids.
• C is common to all solenoids 24 VAC or 12 VDC. For the 12 VDCL
(latching), use positive or red lead.
• M is master valve – used with Pressure Sustaining Normally
Open or Electric valves to control the downstream flow.
• Terminals 1-8 for each solenoid for the “hot” lead.
• Seal the wire access holes to the controller.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
Prior to Installation:
1. Take precautions while lifting, transporting or installing the filter.
2. Installation of the filter should be performed so as to avoid direct water
splashing on the electronic backflush controller.
3. Confirm that the filter weight, when full, meets the support construction
requirements.
4. Prior to installation confirm that line pressure matches filter’s operational
pressure.
5. During installation, use standard flanges and connections only.
6. Check that all filter flange bolts are properly secured.
7. Please note, the filter enters a flushing mode automatically, without prior
warning.
8. Use original parts only when servicing the filter.
9. Netafim cannot accept responsibility for any changes or modifications to the
equipment.
PLEASE NOTE:
Before opening the filter clamp, check that
there is no pressure in the filter. Open the 1”
brass ball valve found on the side of the filter
body to release any pressure in the filter.
