Netafim Apollo Disc-Kleen Filter Battery, Twin – 4 Filters - DC

APOLLO DISC-KLEEN AUTOMATIC FILTER A HIGH PERFORMANCE, RELIABLE, COST-EFFECTIVE FILTRATION SOLUTION 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. HOW AUTOMATIC DISC FILTER TECHNOLOGY WORKS 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.
