Cartridge filtration has been available for a relatively
long time, but has only recently begun to enjoy rapid growth
and acceptance.
When water passes through a cartridge filter, dirt is
screened out at the surface of the cartridge element. When
clean, the element will trap larger particles, with finer
particles being filtered out as the pores of the element
become clogged by the larger debris. The cartridge element
can be removed and cleaned by pressure washing inside and
out with a garden hose. Cartridge element filters trap
debris as small as 10 to 15 microns.
HOW A CARTRIDGE FILTER WORKS
Single Locking Knob securely fastens filter head to filter
tank, eliminating clamps or bolts.
Filter Head provides easy access to cartridge element. May
be rotated to conveniently position pressure gauge and
manual air relief valve.
Heavy-Duty Filter Tank injection molded of reinforced
thermoplastic for dependable, corrosion-free performance.
Scavenger Tube Air Relief purges any trapped air during
filter operation.
Single Element Cartridge is engineered of high-quality
reinforced polyester, with gasketed molded end caps, for
maximum efficiency, easier cleaning and longer life.
Precision-Engineered Extruded Core provides extra strength
and superior flow.
Elevated Filtered Water Collector and Debris Sump prevents
accidental by-pass of heavy debris to pool or spa when
cartridge is removed for cleaning.
1.5" or 2" FIP, or 2" SKT Connections for plumbing
versatility.
.5" FIP Filter Drain for fast draining. Also accepts standard spigot valve.
