Parabolic Screen Filters

These semi-self-cleaning filters are designed to remove solids from water with only occasional cleaning attention. They use a wedge wire, 304 stainless steel screen set in a parabolic shape to take advantage of the Coanda effect. This shape encourages solids-free water to drop between the screens and solids to be left on the surface of the screen. The solids are then pushed toward the waste trough and easily washed into a waste tank.

This filter is ideally suited for a gravity-flow system, as it will only cause about 2' of head loss. It has a 200-micron, removable screen. All ports are 4", except the inlet port on the larger filter, which is 6". Rubber couplings with clamps are included. Freshwater use only. Made in Germany.
