1. Innovative Design for Efficient and Reliable Filtration Systems

2. Self-Cleaning Screen Water Filters Automatic Low Wastewater Continual Flow Low Maintenance High Efficiency Dependable Cost-effective Point-of-Suction Backwash

3. How it Works

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

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

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

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

8. Advantages vs. Bag & Cartridge Filters Automatic Backwash No Replacing Cartridges Less System Downtime Less Time Spent on Routine Maintenance No Waste from Disposable Bags and Cartridges

9. Advantages vs. Sand Filters Backwash does not Require Filter Bypass Does not Require Parallel Configuration Much Less Water Used for Backwash Durable Stainless Steel Design Predictable Solid Filtration Barrier

10. Advantages vs. Centrifugal Filters Predictable Solid Filtration Barrier Does not Require a Minimum Velocity Removes ALL Solids, Regardless of Density

11. Advantages vs. Disc Filters Static Filtration Barrier Much Higher Flow Rates Robust MOC No Need to Manifold Many Units in Parallel
