Innovative Design for Efficient and Reliable Filtration Systems

Self-Cleaning Screen Water FiltersAutomaticLow Wastewater Continual FlowLow MaintenanceHigh EfficiencyDependableCost-effectivePoint-of-Suction Backwash

How it Works

Stage 1: CleanWater flows through the coarse screen and fine screen. Suspended particles are trapped on the fine screen.

Stage 2: DirtyDebris builds on the inside of the screen until 7 psid is reached on the differential pressure gauge.

Stage 3: BackwashThe flush valve opens, creating a low pressure path for the suction nozzles to vacuum the debris from the screen.

Stage1: CleanDifferential pressure drops back to below 1 psid.The clean filter continues normal operation uninterrupted.

Advantages vs. Bag & Cartridge FiltersAutomatic Backwash

No Replacing Cartridges

Less System Downtime

Less Time Spent on Routine Maintenance

No Waste from Disposable Bags and Cartridges

Advantages vs. Sand FiltersBackwash does not Require Filter Bypass

Does not Require Parallel Configuration

Much Less Water Used for Backwash

Durable Stainless Steel Design

Predictable Solid Filtration Barrier

Advantages vs. Centrifugal FiltersPredictable Solid Filtration Barrier

Does not Require a Minimum Velocity

Removes ALL Solids, Regardless of Density

Advantages vs. Disc FiltersStatic Filtration Barrier

Much Higher Flow Rates

Robust MOC

No Need to Manifold Many Units in Parallel
