F74C REVERSE RINSING FILTER; MV876 AUTOMATIC-BACKWASH CONTROLS

PLANNING THE INSTALLATION

The F74C should be sized based on the required flow rate and the resulting pressure drop across the filter. As a guideline for most applications, the F74C should be sized for a pressure drop between 3 psi and 7 psi.

EXAMPLE: What size F74C is required to provide a flow rate of 20 gpm? Reading Table 2 at 4 psi pressure drop, a 1 in. filter can provide 20.2 gpm without exceeding 4 psi pressure drop.

An increased pressure drop across the filter results when higher velocities are maintained to increase the capacity through any given size filter. Severe pressure drops will be encountered as capacity approaches that of the pipe size. To ensure the backwash cycle operates properly and cleaning action is not reduced, follow all recommendations in Fig. 3. Refer to Fig. 3a for an ideal installation.

NOTE:

All filter installations are different. The size, type and amount of dirt and debris and the flow rate must always be considered when choosing a screen and deciding to install multiple F74C Water Filters in parallel.

M17707
Fig. 5. Make sure the backwash outlet pipe is not downsized, long or crimped. Instead, install a short oversized pipe on the backwash outlet. Do not use a low capacity solenoid valve to automate the backwash cycle.

M17708
Fig. 6. Make sure the backwash outlet is not raised above the F74C. If the backwash outlet must be raised above the F74C, increase the inlet pressure 5 psi for every 10 feet that it is raised.

As the F74C operates, screens become plugged. Backwash the F74C when the pressure gauge measures about five psi lower than when first installed. However, each installation is different. Residential applications can require backwash only once a week, or once every few weeks.

NOTE:

For residential applications, backwashing the F74C once a week, regardless of need, is an excellent guideline to follow to ensure F74C peak operating efficiency.

Fitting Batteries and Fuses
The batteries (not included) provide power to the MV876 in the event of a power loss. This is desirable, especially when power loss occurs during the reverse rinsing cycle. to provide this, the MV876 requires four AA alkaline batteries. Install these batteries in the cover of the MV876 as follows:

CAUTION
Electrical Shock or Equipment Damage Hazard. Can shock individuals or short equipment circuitry. Disconnect power supply before installing the batteries or fuses.
1. Unscrew the four housing screws and set them aside. See Figure 11.
IMPORTANT Make sure the connecting cable is protected from damage when the MV876 cover is removed.
2. Remove the MV876 cover. See Fig. 11. 3. Insert four AA alkaline batteries. See Fig. 12. 4. Replace the cover. 5. Replace and tighten the four housing screws.
NOTE:
1. To avoid unnecessary battery drainage, connect the MV876 to power as soon as possible after inserting new batteries.
2. To ensure the availability of battery power, replace the batteries after a power loss.
If the 800 mA fuse blows, replace it as follows:
CAUTION
Electrical Shock or Equipment Damage Hazard. Can shock individuals or short equipment circuitry. Disconnect power supply before installing the batteries or fuses.
1. Unscrew the four housing screws and set them aside (see Fig. 11).

F74C REVERSE RINSING FILTER; MV876 AUTOMATIC-BACKWASH CONTROLS

OPERATION
The F74C Water Filter removes sediment and debris from the water using an upper and lower screen. During normal operation, no water passes through the upper screen. Water is filtered as it flows through the lower screen. See Fig. 15a.
With continued operation, the lower screen becomes obstructed, reducing efficiency and creating a pressure drop across the F74C. Backwash the F74C periodically. Suggested interval is either once a week (residential applications) or when the pressure gauge measures about five psi lower than the pressure when initially installed (with similar flow).
To backwash the F74C manually, open the backwash outlet on the F74C bottom. This forces the entire filter insert downward. Water flow to the lower screen outer side is blocked. The upper filter removes sediment and debris from the water. Some of the water passing through the upper screen is directed through the impeller to backwash the lower screen (from inside to outside). Remaining filtered water meets the needs downstream.
Water jets from the rapidly spinning impeller enhance the reversed water flow. The reverse flow removes trapped sediment and debris from the lower filter. This sediment drains out the backwash outlet. Cleaning the lower screen requires approximately 20 seconds. See Fig. 15b.
The F74C requires no maintenance, in most applications, if backwashed at the proper interval.

Determining Backwash Interval
All F74C applications are different and require backwashing at different intervals. Backwash intervals depend directly on:

-- The level and type of sediment in the local water supply.
-- Water usage. EXAMPLE: In northern states, water usage is higher in summer months than in winter months due to lawn watering in the summer. Therefore, the F74C should be backwashed more often in summer months than in winter months.

By accurately determining a proper backwash interval, the F74C will operate at a higher efficiency.

To determine the F74C backwash interval:

1. Backwash the system once to ensure the lower screen is clean.
2. The pressure gauge needle measures outlet pressure. With clean screens, inlet pressure should never be more than 7 psi higher than the outlet pressure.
3. Record the date, time and pressure reading. 4. Monitor the F74C closely. Over time, the screens
become obstructed and the outlet pressure drops.

NOTE:

The F74C requires a backwash when the pressure measures about five psi lower than the inlet pressure did when initially installed (at approximately the same water flow). Installations do vary and can require a backwash at different times.

5. Record the date, time and pressure again. Residential applications can require an F74C backwash only once every few weeks to once per week.
6. Backwash the F74C regularly at the determined interval. Weekly is recommended for residential applications. A backwash can be done manually or automatically: a. Manual backwash: Open the backwash outlet for approximately 30 seconds.

NOTE: The amount of time required varies among installations. However, 30 seconds is the standard guideline to clean the lower screen.

b. Automatic backwash: Install an M876 Automatic Backwash Valve and select the backwash interval. See the Operation section.

NOTE: Backwashing more frequently than actually required will not harm the system or the filter.
