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. A 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.
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 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’. 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 pump
Float is in ‘normal’ position, pond pump is on.Float is in ‘rinse’ position, pond pump is on. Drum is rotating and rinse pump rinses the cloth. If the float remains in this position for 30 seconds, the electronics will switch to DRY-RUNNING MODE.
Enable Makoi pond filtration controller:
Connecting the float switch
- Open the box. First turn the red button to o.
- connect the float:
Feed the wire from the float into the top lead-through.
Now connect the wires to the green plug: If the system
is filled with water and the float switch is connected:
Press on the 2 AUT buttons to start the system.The 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). 7.2.6 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.
Manual flushing MPF Controller If you keep this button pressed, the
pond pump will stop and the motor and rinse pump will be activated. When
yourelease it, the system will turn off. Then press the AUT buttons again
(green light will turn on again) to reactivate the system (pond pump will turn
on again). If you press the red button on the right, the pond pump will be
switched off.AUT light turns off.
Then press the AUT button again to turn the pond pump back on. AUT light turns
on again.
Pressing the Left Red button will turn off the pond pump, motor and rinse
pump. Always press the AUT buttons to turn everything back on to avoid
problems. THE GREEN LIGHTS MUST BE ON AT ALL TIMES!
OTHERWISE, THE SYSTEM IS OFF OR WILL NOT BE RINSED! MAKE SURE YOU CHECK THIS.
The float switch must be in the top position with gravity systems (with pump
fed in the bottom position) otherwise the system will not switch on to prevent
the pond pump from running dry.

7.2.7 Waste chute flushing connection. ![MAKOI Drum Filters and Biodrums
- flushing connection](https://manuals.plus/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/MAKOI-
Drum-Filters-and-Biodrums-flushing-connection.jpg)The Bio-drum 200 and Drum
100 have an additional plug connection for e.g. an additional rinse pump (not
included). This additional plug connection will activate once per 20 rinses,
to spray the flushing channel clean. This can be adjusted in the Drum Control
to, for instance, 1x per 5 rinses, etc. You can install (not include) a double
contra plug when there are 2 build in flushing pumps, or when you installed a
extra valve 220volt or flushing pump.
Connect the additional flush pump to the female connector and connect it to the HP pump input. This will cause the waste chute and the nozzles to turn on at the same time. 7.3 Connecting the 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: Float 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.Float 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.
BYPASS:
You can remove the blue caps in the front chamber if there are calamities
with, for example, the engine or steering. This allows you to continue using
the filter without pre-filtering.
