SPARKLER FILTER

Principle of Operation

Liquid is pumped through the central channel of the cartridge from the bottom of the body.
Suspended particles are retained on the filter media resting on the filter plate. Clean filtrate
emerges out from the peripheral holes of the plate, into the tank and comes out from the bottom
outlet. Filter tank wall does not come in contact with the un-filtered liquid, hence remains clean.
