| XCLEAR FLOW-MATIC MANUAL
Congratulations on the purchase of your new XClear Flow-Matic automatic backwash
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
1. Pump switches off.
2. Valves go to backwash position.
3. Pump starts 30 seconds (fixed time). The beads (filter media) at the top of the filter are
flushed loose from the lid.
4. Valves go to the RINSE position.
5. The blower turns on. Blower time is variable from 0.5 to 5 minutes in steps of half a minute.
6. There is some water loss from the filter during the use of the air blower. The pump starts 30
seconds (fixed time) to fill the filter (valves are still in the RINSE position).
7. Valves go to BACKWASH position.
8. The pump turns on. Backwash time is variable from 0.5 to 5 minutes in steps of half a minute.
9. Valves go to the RINSE position.
10. The pump turns on. RINSE time is variable from 0.5 to 5 minutes in steps of half a minute.
Now the last debris that is left behind in the filter is drained to the sewer.
11. Valves go to FILTER position.
12. The pump starts again. Backwash procedure is finished.
Standard interval: every 7 days. Intervals: 1 to 14 days.
FEATURES
• Timer controlled activation of backwash.
• Controller with touch screen LCD.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Warning - due to the risk of injury, this product is not suitable for use by children or
persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack
of experience or knowledge, unless they are supervised or instructed on the use of the
device by a person responsible for their safety.
2. Warning - risk of electric shock. If in doubt as to whether you have sufficient knowledge
and experience, this device must always be connected by a certified electrician, according
to the locally applicable standards and laws, with a properly earthed connection protected
by a residual-current device.
3. Warning - to reduce the risk of electric shock, a damaged cable should be replaced
immediately.
4. Warning - to reduce the risk of electric shock, the use of an extension lead is not
recommended. Connect the device to an easily accessible mains outlet.
5. Do not bury the connection lead. Never share connections and/or connection leads with
lawn mowers, hedge trimmers or other equipment.
6. Always install the device horizontally (see figure page 4 + 5).
7. Never install the unit at a location where it will be exposed to direct sunlight.
8. Keep children away from this device and the electrical lead.
9. During and after commissioning, the unit is operating and filled with water. Therefore,
to reduce the risk of electric shock, be careful during repairs and/or service work. If you
lack the necessary knowledge and experience, repair and/or service activities should be
performed by authorized/accredited technicians.
10. Never touch the appliance if it falls into the water! Disconnect the connection lead first,
before removing the unit from the water. Because electrical components are damaged
by water and therefore become unsafe, the device must be submitted to authorized/
accredited technicians for repair/maintenance.
11. The device must not be switched on if it has been damaged during or as a result of
transport, a fall, a production defect or other cause.
12. Always connect the device to an undamaged, earthed mains outlet with hinged cover.
Important safety instructions read and follow all instructions!
