Washable Steel Filter

The steel mesh forms a cylinder between polypropylene end caps. Its robust construction and low pressure drop allow it to maintain filtration performance over a long period with regular washing, making it an economical alternative to disposable cartridges.

Features

Washable and reusable; lowers consumable costs
Stainless steel mesh; resistant to corrosion and deformation
Low pressure drop, consistent water flow
Higher mechanical strength than plastic mesh cartridges
Fits standard 10" filter housings
Easy cleaning, short maintenance time

Applications

Pre-filtration of mains water in residential and commercial buildings
Retention of sand, rust and sediment in well and tank water
Coarse filtration ahead of water treatment systems
Industrial process water and HVAC lines
Protection of plumbing, fittings and appliances against particles

Connection: double open end (DOE).
Flow rate is a typical value for a clean cartridge and 20 °C water; flow decreases as the mesh becomes loaded.

Operating Conditions

Operating temperature: 4 - 45 °C (39 - 113 °F)
Operating pressure: Per filter housing rating
Application: Sediment filtration
Average service life: 3 - 5 years
Maintenance interval: Depending on water quality and usage

Materials and Construction

Filter media: Stainless steel mesh
End caps: Polypropylene (PP)
End configuration: Double open end (DOE)
Gaskets: Elastomer
Use: Washable, reusable

Shut off the water supply and relieve the pressure in the housing.
Open the housing and remove the cartridge.
Clean the cartridge under running water with a soft brush, from the outside in.
Check the seals, refit the cartridge and close the housing.
Slowly reopen the water supply and check for leaks.

Washing frequency depends on water quality, dirt load and usage; wash the cartridge when a noticeable drop in flow occurs. Do not use wire brushes, abrasives or chlorine-based cleaners. Replace the cartridge if the mesh is torn or dented or the end caps are cracked. System temperature must not exceed the rating of the filter housing used.
