General

3.1 Description of the drum filter
The Bio-drum and/or the drum filter consists of a drum sieve that is driven by an electro-motor. Additionally, control electronics and a rinse pump are included. The drum filter serves to filter and discharge floating particles, dirt particles and algal remains. Regarding the Bio-drum there is an additional space, fitted with an air stone or air disc, in which the organic filter material Helix can be placed.
This drum filter is a product that may be applied only in fresh water. The filter was designed for use in ponds. The water to be filtered flows (due to gravity or pumping) into the inlet openings of the drum. On the inside of the drum, dirt will remain behind as a result of the mesh that was fitted across the drum. As the cloth gets more polluted, less water will flow through the drum. The water level behind the drum will fall (in case of a gravity installation) and a sensor present there, measuring the water level, will subsequently activate the electronics. The electronics will send a signal to the motor of the drum and to the rinse pump. The drum will rotate, while the rinse pump will, under high pressure, control the nozzles that spray the mesh in the rotating drum clean. The waste water is collected by a duct in the drum and will flow outside, via the duct, for instance into the sewer. After the set rinsing time has elapsed (14 seconds as standard), the electronics will be deactivated again. The drum will stop rotating and the pump will stop spraying water towards the nozzles.
3.2 Warnings
Only staff with sufficient knowledge about drum filters is permitted to perform maintenance/activities on this equipment. This staff must be familiar with the international regulations for accident prevention. Connection and settings must be in conformity with the applicable electrical regulations.
3.3 Used symbols and warnings
WARNING – ELECTRICAL DANGER!
LIFE-THREATENING!

   Electric shocks may lead to death or serious physical injury for staff, or damage to the equipment. Ensure that unauthorised people are not able to get access or may come in contact with the device. Disconnect the device from the power supply before you start working on it. Do not put the filter in use if the power supply has not been correctly connected to the (protective)earth.
PLEASE NOTE! ROTATING PARTS! AUTOMATIC RESTART!
Take adequate measures to ensure that all rotating parts are secured against physical contact when the filter is in operation. Rotating parts may make the operation of the machine a source of danger for the service staff.
CAUTION!
Before connecting the filter, make sure it is not damaged. Carefully check the power cables and plugs before connecting them.
Please note:
In case of installation works, disconnect all plugs of the device from the power supply. Plugs of other equipment that are in contact with water, must also be removed.
Please note:
Never put your hands in the water before the plug has been removed from the socket. This applies to all electric equipment that is immersed or in contact with water.
Please note:
Keep out of reach of children before and during assembly.
Only suitable for people who are aware of the possible dangers of this device.
Please note:
Never try to stop the drum with your hands when it is rotating.
Please note:
Ensure that the rinse pump always has sufficient water during operation. It should not run dry.
Please note:
The drive motor and all electrical connections may not come in contact with water. If this happens, you must ensure that everything is thoroughly dry before taking the filter back into use.
Please note:
The control and rinse pump of this drum filter may only be connected to an earthed socket. This socket must be equipped with a 30mA residual current device.

Usage of the filter

Only use the filter when no body parts are in contact with the water! Before touching the water you must always disconnect the filter from the socket.
Compare the electrical specifications on the type plate of the device with the specification of the connection on the power supply. Ensure that the device is connected to a socket with earth and a ground leak switch with a maximum residual current of 30 mA (DIN VDE 0100T739).
Use the device only when connected to a correctly installed socket.
Keep the plug and the wiring dry! Ensure that the cables are protected to prevent damage and consequential shortcircuit.
THE ELECTRICAL WIRING AND/OR PLUGS MAY NOT BE CUT (THROUGH). DOING THIS WILL CAUSE THE MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY AND LIABILITY TO EXPIRE IMMEDIATELY.
Only use cables, installations, adapters, extension cables and connection cables with earthed plugs, that were approved for outdoor use (DIN VDE 0620) with sufficient cable diameter. If the wiring is damaged or broken, it must be replaced. Ensure that the plug will not fall into the water or get wet. A wet plug must be cleaned by use of demineralised water and dried. Protect the plug and cables against heat, oil, UV-light and sharp corners. The manufacturer is not responsible in any way for any damage, caused by incorrect installation or as a result of carelessness of the user or installer.
The cable may not be altered or replaced. Electrical installations must always comply with the national and international requirements/guidelines. Never open the casing of the control electronics. Never make technical modifications. Use only original parts and accessories, as set out in this manual. Only authorised dealers are empowered to perform repairs.
Never use the filter with other liquids than water.

Application fields

The Bio-drums or drum filters are suitable for the filtration of fresh or slightly brackish water.
Temperature water: 4-40 °C.
Ambient temperature: 2 °C to +50 °C
Protection class Electronics: IP54

Installation/Connection

Carefully read the manual before installing the filter.
Damage as a result of failing to properly observe the manual, will not be covered by the warranty.
When unpacking the filter, check whether all parts are complete and undamaged. Any identified damage must be reported to your supplier within 24 hours. Check the filter for damage before you put it into service. Do not use the filter if it is damaged. If the filter has been used and is damaged, the warranty and liability will expire.
The filter must not be connected to the power supply during installation. Remove the plug from the socket and make sure that the filter cannot be activated. In order to prevent injury, you must ensure that you are absolutely unable to reach the rotating parts of the filter with your hands and fingers once it has been connected to the power supply.

Commissioning of the filter

NEVER USE THE DEVICE WITHOUT WATER FLOW.
7.1 Positioning of the filter

  • You must strictly follow regulations that are mentioned below to work safely and prevent damage to the device. Make sure that the substrate is levelled and sufficiently solid; a concrete slab is preferred.
  • The drum motor must be installed in a dry place, otherwise the warranty will become expired.
  • When checking whether the rinse pump or motor of the drum still works, the lid must always be closed. Never put your hands in the filter, or try to stop the drum.
  • The rinse pump must always be below the water level before it is activated. Otherwise it will be damaged irreparably due to running dry or overheating. Damage to the rinse pump as a resultof running dry will not be covered by the warranty.
  • The electronics must hang in a dry and well ventilated space. The temperature of the space with the electronics must be between 2 and 30 °C. In case of higher temperatures, the electronics cannot get rid of its heat as a result of which it may get damaged.
  • The electronics contains switching components andmust be placed in an interference-free room.
  •  Certain pumps or UV-units may negatively affect the functioning of the electronics.
  • In case of frost, the filter must be protected against freezing. If the filter is taken out of operation, all pipes must be empty. If the filter remains operative, the pipes for the rinse water must be protected against freezing. Damage as a result of freezing of water is not covered by the warranty.

7.2 Connecting Gravity
If the water flows into the drum with gravity flow, the maximum water level most be properly aligned with the drum. The maximum and minimum water levels are indicated on the inside of the filter and it should be between them, preferably as close to the maximum level as possible (see image). The filter has 110 mm entries and 110 mm exits. In addition, there is a connection for the rinse pump for the Biodrum 30.
Please note:
For installation on gravity-basis, sufficient water feed is very important for proper functioning of the filter! There is a risk of the rinse pump running dry and a very frequent activation of the rinse cycle if there is insufficient water supply, due to an incorrectly installed system. MAKOI Drum Filters and
Biodrums - water supplyA rule of thumb is that per 110 mm of pipe, approximately 10 m3/hour can be moved in a gravity-setup. However, this quantity largely depends on the length of the pipe and the maximum height difference between the pond water and the filter. In some cases only 3 m3/hour can be moved.
So pay attention to the following, with regard to a maximum flow per pipe:
The pond water level should not sink too much. If the pond water level sinks by 1 cm, the flow per tube may fall by as much as 1 to 2 m3/hour. In case of large fluctuations of the pond water level (due to evaporation, replenishing or if you rinse the filter) there is a risk of insufficient water being supplied to the filter. If your pump pumps more water than arrives into the filter, the drum will be pumped empty and the sensor will appear above the water level, which will cause the filter to go in rinse cycle.
If the supply pipes are of significant length, with many curves, there will be lots of friction loss and a lot less than 10 m3/hour may be supplied per pipe.
Entries that are not used should be sealed.
drainage of dirt:
The dirt will be sprayed through the nozzles of the mesh, into the flushing channel. The flushing channel can be connected directly to the sewer or to a drainage point.
Return to pond:
The pomp is connected to the 110 mm drain. If necessary, make use of a flexible coupling, for a good transit to your pump. A flexible connection will also reduce vibrations.
Make sure that you never apply a pump larger than recommended for the filter. As you go towards the maximum of the filter in terms of the selected pump, you should ensure that sufficient water is supplied and that the dry running function of the electronics is engaged. This is indicated on the display in the Electronics box.
7.2.1 Setting for sensor/float
Upon delivery, the sensor has already been installed for use as gravity and in such a way that it will function properly in most situations. Still you will need to check on proper functioning after installation and adjust the float in the best way possible.MAKOI Drum Filters and Biodrums -
sensor
If the float is in lowest position (4), the filter will postpone the rinsing function, creating more pressure in the drum (not recommended). Although, in case of a calamity or too little water supply from the soil drains, this could be a temporary solution, so the filter can keep running. If the float is in highest position (image 3) the filter will rinse more quickly and more often. Image 1 represent the ‘normal’ position, recommended for most ponds. The cables of the float must be connected to numbers 1 and 2 in the electronics box. The wires of the magnet contact must be connected to numbers 3 and 4.
7.2.3. Connecting the rinse pumpMAKOI Drum Filters and Biodrums - rinse
pump The external Rinse pump is included with the MPF drum filters and Bio-drums, as standard. In case of the Bio-drum 30, a connection has already been installed for the suction side of the rinse pump. For the other types, you can use one of the 110 mm exits, by applying an adapter (ring) towards 32 or 25 mm for the rinse pump.
Or create a transit yourself at the location of your choice, using a 25 or 32 mm tank transit. Make sure that you assemble this transit into the ‘clean’ side of the filter and not into the first chamber where the dirt enters. This is to prevent clogging of the spray nozzles.
You connect the exit of the Rinse pump with a hose (or even better, PVC) to the ¾’’ cable that is assembled to the pipe with the nozzles.
Ensure proper adhesion bonding! The pipe is under pressure during rinsing! Use high pressure PVC. The plug of the rinse pump must be connected to the electronics in the FLUSHING PUMP plug.
7.2.4. Connecting motor drum filter
The plug of the motor of the drum filter must be connected with the control electronics. Use the plug connection ‘MOTOR DRUM FILTER’. MAKOI Drum Filters
and Biodrums - drum filter 7.2.5 Flushing frequency
Make sure that the flushing frequency is not too high. If the drum is installed in an existing system, the coil frequency will be high over the first days/weeks, because the pond is being ‘cleaned’. In case of warm weather, the flushing frequency will be higher (more food and more algae growth) than in case of colder weather. Other causes of a (too) high flushing frequency are:

  • A pond pump that is too large
  • Too little water is supplied, due to a low pond water level or incorrect supply system from the pond, e.g. too long pipes, too few pipes or pipes with an insufficient diameter
  • Float is set too high
  • Clogged mesh, due to e.g. bacteria
  • Too little pressure in rinse pump
  • Too little flow from rinse pumpMAKOI Drum Filters and Biodrums - drum filter 1

Press on the 2 AUT buttons to start the system.MAKOI Drum Filters and
Biodrums - AUT buttonsThe green lights above AUT illuminate. The system is activated. These lights must always be on! You can also turn it off by pressing the red button (s). This is for installers only. Make sure the green lights are always on by pressing the AUT buttons.
Pay attention! Do not perform maintenance with the lid off the drum. Remove the plug from the socket and make sure that the filter cannot be switched on. To avoid injury, make sure that your hands or fingers cannot reach the rotating parts of the filter when it is connected to the mains.
The system is on stand-by if the float is floating. If the float is in the lowest position, the process will commence (drum starts rotating and the rinse pump will rinse the cloth). This will last for 14 seconds with the Makoi Drum Control and about 20 second with the Makoi Pond filtration Controller.
If the float remains in the lowest position (and the pond pump is on) there will be too little water supply from the pond. The drum will rinse for 30 seconds (standard value) and then switch to dry-running mode.
This is to protect your pond pump. Once the float goes back to normal position (it will float again because sufficient water flew into the filter) the pump will activate after 5 minutes (standard value). MAKOI Drum Filters and
Biodrums - pond pump7.2.6 Control electronics
The control electronics has protection class IP54.
Electrical installations must always comply with the national and international requirements/guidelines.
Only open the casing of the electronics to connect the float and magnet contact or to set the parameters.
When connecting the float, disconnect the device from the power supply before connecting it! Changing the parameters is done at own risk in case the power supply is connected. Be aware of electrical hazard when opening.
The control cabinet must be connected to an approved, earthed socket. The electronics must be installed vertically.
The electronics may not be assembled unprotected during rain. A maximum of 1500W of auxiliary equipment may be connected per connected side.

MAKOI Drum Filters and Biodrums - pump-fed system The MPF drum filters and Bio-drums can also be connected as a pump-fed system. The water will be pumped into the filter by the pump. Exits that are not used must be sealed.
7.3.1 Assembly of float
In this case, you will need to assemble the float upside down for the drum section (at the inlet) 1 st chamber: MAKOI Drum Filters and Biodrums -
Assembly 1Float is in ‘normal’ position, pond pump is on
Please note:
The float must be installed in reverse, because the circuit here is to work reversely. The upper blue caps must be removed. If the water rises in front of the drum filter, it becomes polluted and the rinse cycle must be activated. If, in the reversed situation, the float goes up and stays up, the system should deactivate after 30 seconds (standard value – this can be adjusted manually in the electronics), otherwise the water will flow straight to the sewer, via the flushing channel, and your pond will run empty. Therefore, the float must be assembled at the right height, so the system will be deactivated before the water flows into the flushing channel.
As an additional safety precaution, the 2 caps of the upper sealed holes must be removed so, in case of a calamity, the water will continue flowing unfiltered, eliminating the risk that water is pumped directly into the flushing channel.
If the float is in the lowest position, the system is in standby. If the float is in highest position (float is floating) then the process will commence (drum will start rotating and the rinse pump  ill spray-clean the cloth). This will last for 14 seconds (standard value).
If the float remains in the highest position (if the water pump is on), too little water will flow away from the filter. The drum will rinse for 30 seconds (standard value) and the electronics will switch to dry-running protection.
7.3.2 Connection of return to pond
The return after the filter should first go up to determine the desired height inside the filter. It should not be too low, in connection with the bio-filter material present. Neither should it be too high, because this will lead to a high coil frequency of the filter. Also  here it applies that the drum should be adjusted during operation. A rinse cycle must be started when the water level difference before and after the drum is approx. 10-15 cm. Make sure that the vertical section remains open to prevent tilting action, causing the drum filter to be pumped dry.MAKOI Drum Filters and Biodrums - Assembly
2Float is in “rinse” position, pond pump is on. Drum turns and rinsing pump rinses the cloth. If the float stays in this position for 30 seconds, the electronics will go into DRY RUN MODE.
If you wish to pump more water than 1x 110 mm pipe can handle concerning the gravity, you must create additional transits. You can also connect the return to the pond by use of a wider diameter pipe. ![MAKOI Drum Filters and Biodrums

Please note:
That in terms of Bio-drums, the water in the last chamber (biological chamber) is at least 15 cm lower than in image 2. So this is just before your drum filter will rinse.
With Drum filters 100 and 50, the incoming water column may not be more than 15 cm higher than the outgoing water column at the time of rinsing. If this is the case, too much water will remain in the Drum and the drum may deform.

Maintenance and cleaning

The filters are low maintenance. However, maintenance- and inspection tasks below are required for proper functioning:

  • Check the correct functioning of the float every month.
  • Perform a manual rinse every month and check whether the nozzles perform good spraying. A nozzle may get clogged or calcified. The rinse pump may also perform less pressure. Clean the nozzles if necessary.
  • Clean the sieve element with a strong acid (hydrochloric acid 30-35%). After a while, biofilm and calcium deposits may arise, as a result of which the rinse frequency will strongly increase. Observe the safety regulations during cleaning with acids. Wear protective clothing and safety goggles.
