PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The Filtering Process engages the use of a specified sand media (see litature) to trapforeign matter on the surface layer, allowing filtered water to percolate through thesurface sand media and LAKOS internal v-slotted lateral assembly, discharging at the
bottom of each tank to the outlet manifold. The process is described in the belowillustrations.
The Backwash Cycle flushes trapped debris from the sand media and out of the filter
tanks. Each tank in a LAKOS System is flushed individually for maximum agitation ofthe sand media. Backwash is triggered by pressure differential, elapsed time, ormanually, each tanks backwash valve is alternately activated into the back wash mode,
which simultaneously interrupts inlet flow to that particular tank. Overall system pressure then directs partial system flow back into and through the tanks lateral assembly.
Flow continues for a prescribed period of time ( typically two minutes), suspending theforeign matter and carrying it out through the tanks top port (normally inlet) and out
through backwash valve and piping. The backwash valve then returns to its original position and restores the now “clean” filter to normal service as seen below.

The Key to Media Filtration is the effective removal of the captured contaminants from
the media bed; this process is commonly called “backwashing”. Located on the bottomof every LAKOS filter System is an exclusive, precision-engineered under drain system.Encourages optimum/even flow across the entire media surface area. No dead spots.
Industry-best backwash characteristics for more thorough cleaning and longer operatingcycles.
Exclusive LAKOS Under Drain System. Header is schedual-40 PVC pipe. Slotted
laterals feature PVC well screen with internal v-slotting for maximum backwash performance. Zero flow-through pressure resistance for longer operating cycles & less backwashing, minimum collapse strength of 135psi (9.3 bar).
The Backwash Throttle Valve is placed on the backwash discharge manifold to controlthe volume of water that can escape during backwash. Obtaining the proper flow rate ofthe backwash water is essential for effective flushing of the media. Too high of a flow
will flush all of the media out of the tank. Too low of a flow will not allow the media togently lift, fluidize and flush filtered particulates from the media in the system. The
proper flow rate is dependent on the size of the tank being flushed, this is show in table(). The most common way to adjust the backwash throttle valve is to manually set onefilter to backwash with the throttle valve fully closed. Slowly open the throttle valve
until small amounts of media are evident in the backwash discharge. It is desirable tohave a slight amount of media discharge during backwash. You should expect to lose
several inches of sand per year with proper backwashing. Although the media fills 2/3rd of the tank, it makes most sense to try to keep the contamination in the top two inches ofthe media bed. This will allow you to quickly rinse the sand during the backwash
sequence. If the media contamination reaches depths bellow two inches, it will take amuch longer backwash to rinse the media. This can also cause contamination of the
under drain of your filter system. Proper backwash frequency must be determined tominimize contamination and clogged under drains.

The Backwash Frequency is dependent upon the characteristics of the contaminants
present in the water source. Although the automated backwash controller is equippedwith a logic circuit to initiate a backwash when the pressure differential across the filtersreaches a given level, ( typically 4-6psi higher than when the tanks are clean), it is often
times more desirable to initiate the backwash before it reaches this point. Very fine silt;for example, are able to migrate deeply into the media bed before an appreciabledifferential can be reached, and thus becoming difficult to remove. Algae and other
organic matter tend to harden and cake with time, cementing the top layer of mediatogether. If not flushed daily this could pose a problem. It is recommended by LAKOS
that the system time should be set to flush once daily as a minimum. For heaver solidloads the filter may have to be set to backwash every two to four hours for propercleaning of the media. In many instance water quality can change through out the year,
adjustments to the system are recommended to compensate for these changes ofconditions.
The Backwash Duration is dependent upon the characteristics of the contaminants andthe backwash frequency. A 120 second flush duration should be adequate to flush the
media bed of debris if the frequency is set properly. Longer durations may be required ifthe backwash line does not run clean for at least 10-15 seconds before valve is signaled to
close. The backwash duration should have sufficient duration to remove all thecontaminants from the media bed.
The Operational Speed of the Backwash Valve is a critical factor in determining the
backwash duration. When the valve is signaled to open and the actuator diaphragm isfilling pushing the valve piston back, unfiltered water is able to pass underneath the valveseals and escape into the backwash manifold. To the untrained eye it appears the filter isflushing, although it is not. Backwashing does not begin until the piston and the valve
are fully seated against the intake port closing of the high pressure unfiltered water. Onlythen can the lower pressure filtered water from the bottom of the filter can escape through
the backwash manifold, carrying with it the filtered contaminants. A new backwash valewith good system pressure (25-65psi) will fully open in 10-15 seconds. Older valvesoperating in harsh conditions may take longer due to wear of the bushing and o-rings.
The filter for the hydraulic system requires to be cleaned periodically. This is to ensurethat the valve piston is receiving high pressure from the inlet manifold of the system. It is
not uncommon for the system to have slow actuating valves due to low pressure to thevalve piston. This also causes the backwashing of the system to be incomplete. Regularinspections of the system will point out this problem.

The Dwell Time Setting on the automatic controller allows you to select the amount of
time the controller waits for one valve to close before signaling the next valve to open.This enables you to adjust for the slow-acting valves or allows the irrigation system torebuild pressure between flushes. If the system pressure drops to a point where it is
affecting filtration backwash capacity, it may be necessary to place a pressure sustainingvalve on the discharge side of the filtration system. This will automatically partiallyclose of the flow on the discharge of the system, allowing pressure to build and be
sustained at a preset level.
Periodic Inspections of Media. To begin drain the filters and remove the manwaycovers to expose media. Inspect the media at this time by dig down and look for claylenses, mud balls, and media level that may indicate improper backwashing. If there is
any evidence of the contaminant reaching the bottom of the tank the backwash durationshould be increased as necessary. In the case of extreme contamination the filter media
will need to be replaced (Please Note: LAKOS Media Systems do not use Gavel).LAKOS recommends that the media should be inspected twice a season. LAKOS isaware that media can last several seasons but recommends changing media every other
season for optimum performance.

(Installation for Pressure differential switch kit is on page 18)
Media Loading InstructionsRemove the hand hole cover and inspect the inside of the tank for debris. Inspect theunder drain for damage and make sure secure properly. Load selected media and fill 2/3rd
of tank or to the top of LAKOS decal. Media should not be dumped in but filled slowlyto prevent damage to under drain. LAKOS sand media filters operate efficiently with
single- grade sand media. No multi grade layering is required.

Start-Up Procedure
In i t ia l Cleaning of Tanks
Start pump or open valve supplying pressurized water to the filters. The backwash valve previously set in the manual backwash mode (see detail, page 30) will open and begin a
backwash cycle. Open the backwash valve until a small amount of media is visible in theview tube. Initial flow through the filters may be sluggish for several cycles. To speed upthe initial cleaning of the tank, close the outlet valve until a healthy backwash flow
appears in the view tube. Wait approximately two minutes then rotate to a second tank byclosing the override screw on the first solenoid and opening the second. Repeat this
procedure until all filter tanks have been backwashed a minimum of three times.
BACKWASH ONLY ONE TANK AT A TIME!All tanks contain contaminants and fines prior to initial backwash. Flow through themedia system will be sluggish until some cleaning occurs. If, after three backwash
rotations, the tanks are not yet clean, continue with additional cycles until cleaningoccurs.
The backwash valves operate hydraulically and take 10 to 15 seconds to fully
open. While the valve is opening, flow through the backwash manifold will be higher
than normal. When the valve is fully open the flow will decrease and the backwash waterwill become dirty in appearance. Do not attempt to adjust the system until the valve isfully open. Early differential readings are not accurate until the system is fullyoperational. After the initial cleaning of the media filter, set regulators and repair any
leaks. When the system is operating properly, proceed with final adjustments.
Backwash Throttle Valve AdjustmentPre-set the controller for a 90 second backwash and a 30 second dwell time. Turn on
controller power and initiate a flush cycle (see controller instructions). Adjust the backwash throttle valve as follows:
During the flush cycle, check the backwash water through the view tube, or catch a backwash sample using fine sieve. Adjust the backwash throttle valve downward until
only a trace of media is being lost and the backwash valve is fully open. Use the fieldthrottle valve to direct additional flow for backwash. Adjust backwash flow until aminute loss media occurs. (In systems where backwash flow is inadequate, the throttle
valve must be adjusted in this manner each time a backwash cycle is initiated).

53/61
LIQUID-SOLIDS FILTRATION

Pressure Differential AdjustmentsThe pressure differential (P.D.) switch, located on the controller, measures the
differential pressure between incoming and outgoing pressure. When the difference between the two increases to a preset level, the switch signals the controller to begin a backwash cycle. The P.D. setting can be changed by adjusting the knob on the face of the
P.D. switch.
Scheduling Backwash CyclesThe quality of the source water will dictate the frequency required. A backwash cycleshould begin when the P.D. increases 4-6 lbs. above the “optimum system differential”
(the differential when all tanks are clean). Automatic systems are shipped with the pressure differential switch preset at 9 lbs. If the desired differential range is not met by
this setting, adjust accordingly
Backwash Flush TimeBackwash flush time is adjusted on the face of the controller. Start with a 90 secondsetting. Observe the water quality at the beginning and end of a backwash cycle through
the view tube or at the outlet of the backwash manifold. If the backwash water is stilldirty near the end of the cycle, increase the flush time. If the water appears clean severalseconds before the end of the cycle, decrease the flush time. In addition to the water
quality, check the pressure differential after backwash. If the P.D. has returned to the
optimum level, the flush duration is adequate. If not, increase the backwash duration untiloptimum differential is achieved.
Note : As the backwash valve open and closes, water from the backwash manifold is
mixed with incoming water from the inlet manifold. The first and last 15-20 seconds of flow will be diluted in this manner and is not representative.
Dwell TimeThe dwell between tanks enables the irrigation system pressure to recover before the next
tank flushes. This delay provides the system with a full head of pressure with which toinitiate flushing of the next tank. To adjust the dwell time, observe the backwash cycle of
the last tank in the battery. Calculate the length of time form the end of the cycle until themaximum system pressure is regained. This is approximate time that should be set asdwell time.

REPAIR & RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULE
The following repair procedure and recommended maintenance schedule isrecommended by LAKOS. LAKOS makes recommendations from the years of
experience in this industry. The following is a guideline and can be modified to fit yourneeds.
BACKWASH VALVE REPAIR PROCEDURES
REMOVE THE BACKWASH VALVE FROM THE SYSTEM …
1. Begin by removing the back cover from the valve. This will eliminate the need to remove thesolenoid, conduit & wiring.2. Inspect the rubber diaphragm covering the piston. The “smooth and shiny” side of this
diaphragm should be facing the back cover of the valve; the cloth-like rough surface should be wrapped around the piston. Check for tears, wear or any holes in this part. Replace ifnecessary.
3. Loosen and remove the three grooved couplings to release the valve body from the tank andinlet/backwash manifolds.
INSPECT / REPLACE THE DISC …
1. Locate (from the backwash opening of the valve body) the 7/16-inch machined portion of the backwash valve’s shaft. Secure that shaft with a wrench to prevent it from rotating.
2. Using the appropriate ratchet with extension, enter the valve body from the inlet opening andloosen the end nut. Disc is removed via the valve’s outlet (to the filter tank).
3. Inspect the rubber on the disc. If it is worn, torn or deformed, it should be replaced.
REMOVE THE SHAFT …
1. This procedure will likely damage the diaphragm. Be prepared to replace the diaphragm.2. Grasp the piston and pull it straight out of the back of the valve body. The shaft will follow.3. Inspect the piston for damage of the epoxy coating. If any nicks or scratches are noted,
replace the piston.
4. To remove the shaft from the piston, first secure the center section of theshaft (where machined) with a 7/16-inch wrench to prevent rotation. Using a
5/32-inch allen wrench, loosen and remove the pan-head screw located onthe face of the piston.
5. Remove the spring. The spring should have a tension of approximately 60 to70 foot-pounds of pressure. Normal life expectancy is 5 to 7 years.Replacement during maintenance may be more cost-effective than trying to
over-extend the life of this part.
6. Remove the two o-rings on the shaft (these should be replaced wheneverservicing the valve) and inspect the shaft for any rough surfaces. Replace ifevident.
7. Wipe all re-usable parts with a clean cloth.

55/61
LIQUID-SOLIDS FILTRATION
55
RE-ASSEMBLING THE SHAFT …
1. Be sure that the shaft is clean and free of any debris in the groove. Carefully slide the o-ringonto the shaft and into the groove. Apply a small amount of petroleum jelly to lubricate theo-ring.
2. Clean the inside of the stainless steel bushing.3. Attach the shaft to the piston, using an allen wrench.4. Place the spring over the shaft, allowing it to rest on the inside of the piston.5. Guide the threaded end of the shaft through the bushing, using extra care when the o-ring
enters the bushing.6. Test the movement of the shaft in the bushing. It should glide smoothly, not allowing the o-
ring to slip out of its groove. If the o-ring does move, apply more petroleum jelly to the o-ring and shaft.
RE-ATTACHING THE DISC …
1. L-0801-A Valve: Position the stainless steel insert on the bevelled side of the disc against theflat surface inside the inlet of the valve body.
L-0801-B Valve: Position the stainless steel insert and rubber guard plateagainst the flat surface inside the inlet of the valve body.
2. Slide the shaft assembly from the backside of the valve body, through the backwash outletchamber and toward the backwash valve’s inlet. Attach the shaft to the disc, securing theshaft with a 7/16-inch wrench and tightening the lock nut onto the disc.
3. Apply pressure to the piston and again check the shaft for smooth travel through the bushing.
RE-ATTACHING THE DIAPHRAGM …
1. The diaphragm is marked to identify the “pressure side”, which should be the side facing therear of the valve (exposed to the solenoid). Avoid wrinkling or pinching the diaphragm
between the piston and the valve body.
2. At this point, re-install the backwash valve onto the filter tank and manifolds, using thegrooved-end couplings.
3. Align the holes on the lip of the diaphragm with the holes on the backwash valve body.4. Place the backwash valve’s back cover into position, being careful to keep the lip of the
diaphragm flat against the valve body (creating a gasket between the valve body and back
cover). The solenoid should be in the top (12 o’clock) position.5. Insert the bolts, slide on the lock-washers and secure the nuts to firmly re-attach the back
cover to the backwash valve.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULEAutumn Shutdown
1. Initiate a normal backwash cycle. “Caution” Do not add cleaners or additives ofany kind to the water system. Time the sequencing of the backwash valves,opening and closing speeds with a stop watch and make note of the time.
2. Disconnect power to controller.
3. Rinse and drain the all filters, manifolds, uptake kit, valves, ect. All aboveground components that may freeze.
4. Inspect and lubricate all filter backwash valves. Repair any discrepancies with
the valves
5. Brush any rust on carbon steel filters down to bare metal and paint for rust
prevention. Rust should be removed from stainless takes if present and sprayed orwiped with light oil.
Spring Start-Up
This procedure will follow the autumn shutdown of your system.
1. A general inspection of the above ground equipment needs to be conducted.Equipment and or parts that are in need of service or repair should be conductedat this time.
2. Start the system and initiate backwash with low pressure if possible (15-20psi).This is due to the draining of the tanks in shutdown. There is a reasonablelikelihood that there will be air trapped in the system. This air can disrupt the
sand bed during backwashing under high pressure.
Mid Season Inspection
1. Open the sand media tanks and inspect the media to determine if the backwash
sequence is correct.
2. Top-off sand level as needed.
General Inspections
The media system from time to time will need to be inspected. Check gauges, backwashcycle, hydraulic lines, and screens along with other components. The more diligent a
user is with his equipment the better it will perform. Checks are recommended everymonth.

TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM: POOR FI LTRATION
PROBABLE CAUSE
1. Excessive flow through filters, causing “coning” of media sand and/or forcing contaminantsthrough filter sand outlet
2. Air in tank(s) may cause disruption of the media sand bed.3. Incorrect media sand.4. Excessively high pressure differential before backwashing, which forces contaminants through
filter bed.
5. Insufficient volume of media in filter, which allows contaminants to pass through the system.
SOLUTION
1. Reduce flow rate or add extra filter tank(s). Review literature for flow recommendations.2. Bleed off trapped air in system.3. Replace with proper media sand. “ Consult distributor”
4. Backwash more often at lower differential pressure.5. Add media to tank(s) to specified level.
PROBLEM : CONSISTANTLY H IGH PRESSURE DI FF ERENTIAL
PROBABLE CAUSE
1. Excessive contaminant load restricts flow through the filters and prevents sufficient flow for backwashing.
2. Insufficient backwash flow.
3. Inadequate media sand volume, which may minimize coverage of backwash flow across filter bed,creating dead spots of accumulated contaminants.
SOLUTION
1. Drain tank(s) and remove hand-hole access ports. Carefully skim away any excess or cakedcontaminants from the media sand bed’s surface. Return tank(s) to normal service and backwash
system.
2. Readjust backwash or partially close field valve.3. Follow #1 and add media as necessary.
PROBLEM: M EDI A SAND APPEARS DOWNSTREAM PROBABLE CAUSE
1. Incorrect media sand (i.e. to fine).2. Broken, damaged, or missing lateral.
SOLUTION
1. Replace media with proper sized media.2. Repair or replace laterals of under drain.
