THRU-FLUSH | SS SERIES STAINLESS STEEL SCREEN FILTERS

PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS

General: The filtration system shall remove suspended solids down to 75 microns (depending on
screen mesh selection) from the water source. The filter system is shipped unassembled
and shall include filters, interconnecting piping, valves, gauges, fittings and optional automatic
controls. Screen sizes available in 40, 80,100,150, and 200 mesh. Pressure drop through the
filter at maximum rated flow shall not exceed 3 PSI.

Filter Tanks: Filter tanks shall be fabricated of Type 304 stainless steel and shall feature a safety lock lid
closure assembly. After fabrication the filter housing shall be passivated for enhanced
corrosion protection.

Piping: The filter system shall be provided with carbon steel inlet and outlet piping. Piping shall be
connected with grooved type couplings. The filter system piping shall be sandblasted and
fusion epoxy lined standard. "Wet applied" epoxy coating systems shall not be used as an
environmental coating.

Valving: Automatic or manual "Thru-Flush" valves are provided for filter flushing. Valves shall be
assembled using grooved type couplings.

Screen Filter The filter cartridge shall be constructed of noncorrosive polymeric materials and stainless
Cartridge: steel. The cartridge shall feature a pre-filter chamber (for removal of coarse materials) and a
fine mesh filtration chamber. These portions of the cartridge shall be "O" ring sealed between
the dirty water and clean water areas. Fine filtration mesh shall be polymeric material. All
screen mesh shall be replaceable through manual disassembly of the cartridge (no tools
required). The fine mesh screen shall be supported in the cartridge by use of a polyethylene
intermediate weave for optimum screen mesh utilization. Through the use of the intermediate
weave 100% of the screen surface shall be utilized. Where coarse filtration objectives are
established fine mesh filtration may be substituted with 1/16" or 1/32" perforated stainless
steel cartridge construction.

Automatic The filter system will include a solid state automatic controller. This controller will provide
Controls: labor saving, unattended automatic backflush on a time selected interval. In addition, there
(Optional) will be included an automatic pressure differential override safety circuit. The filters are
assured of being cleaned on a time scheduled basis, however, should the source water
quality vary and pressure differential develop to a preset limit prior to the backwash time, the
P.D. circuit will activate a backwash cycle. Controller shall be 110 VAC or 12 VDC powered.

Filter Flushing: The filter shall feature a flushing capability for removal of suspended solids. The filter shall
utilize the "Thru-Flush" action of the filter for dirt removal without the use of moving parts.
Flush duration shall be 30 seconds or less.

Fusion Bonded The filter piping shall be lined with Yardney Type 134 fusion bonded epoxy. All metal
Epoxy Lining: surfaces shall be sandblasted to a white metal condition prior to epoxy application. Metal
surfaces shall be preheated to 450°F prior to electrostatic application of the powder coating.
After coating, application parts shall be cured at 400°F for a minimum of 20 minutes.
Application shall provide an even holiday free lining of the thermoset epoxy powder coating 8-
10 mils. thick. The coating material is nontoxic and is approved for potable water application.
