Abstract: A system and method of positioning and activating a rotating manifold for a filtration system that more precisely injects pressurized air into filter elements without being prone to getting out of sync and that can be more easily adjusted or calibrated without having an individual enter the filtration system. The system can generally comprise a rotating cleaning manifold, a shaft encoder, a position switch, and a controller. The shaft encoder can be configured to sense an angular position and output a first positional data value. The position switch can be configured to sense a complete revolution and output a second positional data value. The controller can be configured to receive the first positional data value and the second positional data value and cause the output of at least one signal via an output module to activate an intermittent cleaning pulse.
