Filtering and Flushing Sequence

Filters


FILTERING MODE

Dirty water enters the strainer where large particles are removed and trapped on the exterior surface of the strainer.

Filters Strained water enters the fine mesh filter and clean water flows out to the irrigation system.

FLUSHING MODE

Debris is removed from the interior of the filter by the reciprocating vacuum rotor and flows out the flushing valve.


EFFICIENT

  • The reverse flow backwash is an effective method of cleaning a screen.
  • Reciprocating flush nozzles allow use of a small flush valve creating greater differential pressure across the screen and through the nozzle.
  • A minimal amount of water is used for a back-washing cycle.
  • The flushing cycle uses only a small portion of the filter flow capacity during cleaning.
  • Even during the backflush cycle, the filtration process is uninterrupted.
  • The filter's cleaning process is fully automatic.
  • The unit's AWWA Class D flanges simplify installation.
  • Models are available which require no power.

EFFECTIVE

  • Offers filtration to 15 microns (800) mesh).
  • Removes suspended solids, including organic materials such as algae.
  • Available in models up to 4,000 gpm. Filters can be manifolded for greater requirements.
  • The sintered stainless steel element assures mesh-size stability.
  • Operates at temperatures to 180¡ F.

ECONOMICAL

  • Lower prices than expensive sand bed filters.
  • Little or no maintenance.
  • All working mechanisms can be removed from the filter for service.
  • Filter can be serviced without removal from the pipeline.
