Pentair Semi-Auto Controller for 06 Tank System

Pentair Stark™ Manual Semi-Automatic Backwash Controller (6-Tank System)

The Pentair Stark™ Manual Semi-Automatic Backwash Controller (Model CM200-06) is a streamlined, highly reliable fluid-distribution control hub engineered exclusively to manage the sequential backwashing of multi-vessel commercial sand filtration arrays containing up to six separate filter tanks. Designed to simplify the intensive maintenance requirements of large-scale commercial water parks, public swimming pools, and industrial water systems, this purely mechanical hydraulic programmer completely eliminates the need for complex electronics, digital displays, or field programming. Instead, an operator manually initiates the backwash sequence with the touch of a single button or by turning a rugged selector dial, which utilizes city water pressure or compressed air lines to sequentially actuate large, diaphragm-style face-piping backwash valves one tank at a time. This deliberate, single-tank progression ensures that the system's overall hydraulic pressure remains stable, fluidizing individual sand beds perfectly to purge trapped organic material and debris while preventing pump cavitation or heater damage during the cycle. Built to withstand aggressive, humid pump room environments, the controller is housed within a non-corrosive, heavy-duty NEMA-rated enclosure that isolates the internal multi-port pressure distribution valve network from airborne chemicals and moisture. The dry weight of the Pentair Stark Semi-Automatic Controller for a 6-Tank System is approximately 15 pounds, providing commercial pool operators with an incredibly durable, compact, and fail-safe solution that functions flawlessly without electrical reliance or software constraints.
