This filter offers maximum performance for systems requiring filtration for large volumes of water. A longer filter element with larger discs produces a larger filtration area and only 30 psi is required for backflushing. Made from high-density synthetic materials, the Apollo filter is corrosion-proof not just corrosion-resistant. Available in 24VAC or 12VDC and multiple filter configurations for maximum system flexibility. Requires separate purchase of backflush controller.
Disc Filters fall into the category of 'depth filtration' filters because they add an
additional dimension to the cleaning process. A fislter 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, unfi ltered
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
backfl ush 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.
SAVE MONEY BY REDUCING FILTER SIZE
The Apollo features a longer filter element
(spine) with larger discs (rings) producing a
larger filtration area which accommodates a
higher flow rate so the total number of filter
units is reduced - lowering the filter cost.
SAVE MONEY BY REDUCING PUMP SIZE
Only 30 psi is required for backflushing
reducing the need to oversize the pump for
adequate flushing and it also reduces the need
for a Pressure Sustaining Valve.
SAVE TIME & MONEY WHEN MOVING
The Apollo is light-weight with a small footprint
making it portable and easy to move which is
ideal for crop rotations and rental units in row
crop applications.
SAVE MONEY ON MAINTENANCE
Made from high density synthetic materials,
it's corrosion-proof not just corrosion resistant.
Chemical injection upstream will not damage
any filter components.
