Efficient filter systems are essential to protect expensive and valuable assets downstream of water sources that are usually contaminated with extraneous matter and/or algae. Correct sizing of the filtration units is essential depending on the quality and flow rate of the liquid from the start. The efficacy of a filtration system will refer to the maximum size of particle allowed to pass through the screen or filter medium and is generally referred to in microns (thousands of a millimetre). The smaller the micron screen, the quicker the screen will clog requiring more frequent cleaning.
In reality, filters are generally not serviced often enough resulting in ruptured filter screens and other fitration media.
Automatic filters are therefore the best option where micro-management is not possible to avoid costly replacement of filter elements and other filter parts.
Plastic, steel, automatic and manual filters are available for all agricultural and industrial applications.
