This document introduces the operation, maintenance and troubleshooting of the Apollo Disc-Kleen filter.
This guide explains how to operate, install, and maintain Netafim Apollo Disc-Kleen filters. It covers filter specifications, dimensions, water quality requirements, and backflush procedures. The document includes troubleshooting steps and replacement parts information.
The filters are designed for irrigation systems and use disc-based filtration with color-coded mesh sizes. Backflushing is automated via solenoid valves and can be manually overridden. Filters come in various sizes and configurations, including angle and twin setups, with different operating pressures and flow rates.
| Operating Pressure (psi) - Standard Model | 90 |
|---|---|
| Operating Pressure (psi) - High Pressure Model | 140 |
| Backflush Flow per Unit (GPM at 35 psi) | 95 |
| Backflush Volume per Flush Cycle (GPIV) | 130 |
| Inlet/Outlet Manifold Connection (in.) | 10 FL |
| Drain Manifold Connection | 4GR |
| Minimum Allowable pH | 5 |
Backflushing should be maintained for 20 seconds per filter.
The backflush valve permits flow from the inlet manifold through the filter during filtration mode, and closes the inlet while opening the drain port during backflush mode to eject impurities.
