Installation Operation Maintenance Manual
3.0 GENERAL NOTES
These instructions cover the FILOX Range of filters, which includes model numbers
from CpH 1054 to CpH3072.
It is recommended that these instructions are read thoroughly before commencing any
work on the unit, particularly if you have no previous experience of installing and using
a filter.
3.1 FILOX-R Media
FILOX is a synthetic Mangenese Dioxide filter medium for the removal of
iron and manganese from water.
FILOX filter media requires backwashing with the raw water to clear the bed. The
operating parameters for FILOX make it suitable for a number of water types.
3.2 System Management
In order to remove accumulated deposits from the filter bed, the water flow through
the filter is reversed (backwashed). Water is run to drain at a high rate to separate
the filter media from the deposits. The control valve completes the backwash cycle
automatically at the intervals and times set during installation. Backwash and fast rinse
times are set for 20 minutes per cycle but can be altered to suit individual
requirements.
Due to the density of FILOX media a high backwash flow is required to ensure a good
lift of the bed and to allow all accumulated debris to be removed. All filter valves
have the option of an additional volt free microswitch, which can be used to
initiate a regen pump etc.
