Vortex Filters

The filters are placed between the pump and drip field to screen out debris. 

Body - Two-piece threaded housing with O-ring seal. Molded from high heat ABS and chemical resistant glass reinforced plastic. 

Screen - Sintered stainless steel. Sintering is a process in which three pieces of stainless steel mesh are transformed into one: a perforated plate, 30m, and then 150 mesh. Screen collars are molded from vinyl for long life and durability. 

Spin Plate and drain - Directional spin plate is molded of PVC or fiberglass. 

Vortex Spin Action - Incoming water is forced through a directional nozzle plate onto the inside of the stainless steel screen. A centrifugal motion starts inside the screen chamber, throwing organic and inorganic particles outward against the screen. Gravity moves the debris down the screen wall to the 3/4” flush outlet at the base of the Vortex Filter. 

To stay clean, two criteria must be met: 

1. Flow into the filter must be within the specified range to produce a 5 to 8 psi pressure differential across the filter. 
2. The filter flush valve must be partially to fully open allowing debris to flush away.
