3. 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

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.

NB! Do not carry out any maintenance if the lid is removed from the drum. Remove the plug from the socket and ensure that the filter cannot be switched on. To avoid injury, ensure that your hands or fingers cannot reach the rotating parts of the filter when it is connected to the mains.

Gravity

PUMPFED

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 sensor is already mounted upon delivery for gravity use and in such a way that it functions well in most situations.
However, after installation you should check the correct operation and adjust the float as best as possible.
If the Float is in the Lowest position, the filter will wait longer to rinse and there will be more pressure in the drum (not recommended), but in the event of an emergency or insufficient water supply from the bottom drains it can be a temporary solution so that the filter can continue. If the float is in the highest position, the filter will rinse faster and more often.
If the float remains in the lowest position (if the pond pump is on), there will be insufficient water supply from the pond. The drum will rinse for 40 (default value) seconds and then enter dry-run mode. This is to protect your pond pump. When the float is back in its normal position (it floats again because sufficient water has entered the filter), the pump at the MPF controller will immediately switch on again.

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.

13 Misprints and printing errors reserved

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.

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) 1st chamber:

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 will 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 40 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.
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.

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 40 seconds 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,

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.

· You must fill the filter yourself with biological material. The drop plates (3X) are pre-screwed. You must unscrew this yourself to place the biological filling. Screw all plates back on as they were tightened at the factory. Otherwise the warranty will be void.

Extra information:
If the water rises in front of the drum filter, it is dirty and the rinse cycle must be activated. So if the float now goes up, a rinse cycle follows (approx. 20 seconds). If the float remains in the highest position (if the pond pump is on), too little water will flow from the filter. The drum rinses for 45 seconds (standard value) and then the electronics switches to dry- running protection. If the flushing frequency is too high or the electronics repeatedly goes into dry-running protection, see, among other things, the points under 7.2.5. The following points may also play a role in a pump-fed system:
· Return line too high
· Contamination of the sensor

Maintenance and cleaning
The filters are low maintenance. However, maintenanceand 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.
