FIB-DISC FILTER

Disc Filters fall into the category of ‘depth filtration’ filters because they add an additional dimension to the cleaning process. A filter element (spine) contains a stack of compressed discs with an overlapping series of grooves that force the debris to move through numerous trap points. This process increases the likelihood of capturing debris. Because of the increase in filtration surface area, the frequency of cleaning drops and cleaning is easier.

FILTRATION PROCESS
During the filtration process, unfiltered water passes through the stack of tightly compressed discs, debris is trapped by the interlocking grooves of the disc rings, and only filtered water is released to the irrigation system.

BACKFLUSH PROCESS
As debris in the filter increases, the backflush process is initiated. The discs separate and jets of clean water spray and spin the discs removing the trapped debris which is then flushed out.
