 Please note that to create a filter program, the following must be created first:
-  * "Filter" Mainline
+  * "Filter" Mainline - created under setup_mainlines
-  * Valves for each of the backflush valves on the filter station
+  * Valves for each of the backflush valves on the filter station - created under setup_manage valves
-  * DP (Differential Pressure) sensor
+  * DP (Differential Pressure) sensor - created under setup_all sensors
+Should you require help in creating these, please contact your Farmsync Technician
-There are two scenarios that will be explained below:
+=====Creating a Filter Program=====
-  - Creating a Filter Program where flushing is managed by an external flush controller
-    - In this case, Farmsync only sends a start & end command
-  - Creating a Filter Program that issues all commands from Farmsync
-    - In this case all the flush times are set on Farmsync
-=====Using an external flush controller=====

+  * A: “Enabled Automatic Start”
-  * B: “Stop Remote Flush program when flushing done” –
+    * It is important to note that if this function is ticked, the Flush program will run permanently, meaning even when no Valve program is running
+    * If this option is taken, DO NOT add the Filter Flush program to a Valve Program, as this will cause a clash
+    * If you want the Filter Flush program to run ONLY when the valve program is running, then this function must NOT be ticked
+  * B: “Stop Remote Flush program when flushing done” – under construction
   * C: “Total Program Run Time (minutes)” – Enter the max Runtime (min) for the flush program
   * D: “Flush Duration (seconds)” – Enter the time duration (sec) allowed for each filter to flush
   * E: “Flush Time Duration (seconds)” – Enter the time allowed between filters to pass before the next filter flushes
   * F: “Minimum duration between flush operations (seconds)” – Enter the min time duration between flush cycles
-  * G: “Min Pressure to enable pressure flush (Bar)” – Enter the min pressure difference between in & outlet of filter allowed before
+  * G: “Min Pressure to enable pressure flush (Bar)” – Enter the min pressure difference between in & outlet of filter allowed before filter flushes
-  *      filter flushes
+  * H: “Min Pressure to enable time flush (Bar)” – Enter the min pressure the system must supply for flushing to occur (refer to supplier filter specifications)
-  * H: “Min Pressure to enable time flush (Bar)” – Enter the min pressure the system must supply for flushing to occur (refer to
+  * I: “Pressure Flush Delay (seconds)” – Enter the time (sec) allowed to pass for pressure difference to be higher than min before flush is enabled
-  *      supplier filter specifications)
+  * J: “Flush Duration Delay (seconds)” – enter the duration of time that must past from when flushing is triggered before the flushing valves open (eg. allows time for Mainvalve to close)
-  * I: “Pressure Flush Delay (seconds)” – Enter the time (sec) allowed to pass for pressure difference to be higher than min before
-  *     flush is enabled
-  * J: “Flush Duration Delay (seconds)” –
   * K: “Flush on Start” – When enabled, filter will flush when program starts
   * L: “Flush on End” – When enabled, filter will flush when program stops
   * M: “Filter Start Delay (seconds)” – Duration of time allowed to pass after filter program has started before filter flushes

+Choose from the dropdown lists below the relevant Flush Valves that were created for the Filter under “Setup_Manage Valves”; Provision has been made for 32 valves in total.
