Filters Operation

MANUAL DISC FILTERS

As dirty is pumped into the filter and pressure increases on the outside of the filter, the water pressure compresses the rings together tightly. Grooves in the disc rings crisscross forming a network that traps particles. This design filters the dirty water thoroughly, not only on the outer surface of the cylindrical disc filter, but through the entire depth of every ring’s grooves.

AUTOMATIC DISC-KLEEN FILTERS

Unfiltered water passes through a stack of tightly compressed discs. The water is forced to flow through the interlocking grooves of the disc rings where debris is trapped, releasing only filtered water to the irrigation system. As debris in the filter increases, the backflush process is initiated. The discs separate and jets of clean water spray and spin the discs removing the trapped debris which is then flushed out.

SCAN-KLEEN SCREEN FILTERS

Water enters the filter through the inlet and reaches the screen which traps the particles from the water. As more water flows through, debris builds up on the screen and a pressure differential builds up between the internal and external sections of the screen. Opening the flushing valve allows water to flow out of the filter and suction occurs through the nozzles. This vacuums the debris from the screen and out the drain port. Turning the handle slow rotates the dirt collector resulting in full scanning of the screen by the nozzles. This combination of rotation and linear movement cleans the whole internal screen surface.
