Mechanical water filters
Mechanical water filters are designed to trap mechanical impurities such as sand, mud, pipe debris, and rust. Water contaminated with mechanical impurities is often cloudy and unpleasant to consume. When water is filtered, impurities and oxidized iron compounds are mechanically retained. In many cases, mechanical water filters are used in the initial stage of water treatment, thus ensuring the operation of other water filters, such as water softening filters or drinking water systems.
Mechanical water filters can be cartridge, flushable, or automatic.
In all cases, we recommend installing a mechanical water filter, except when a water deironing filter is selected together with the water filtration system, which replaces the function of a mechanical water filter.
Automatic mechanical water filters
The operation of an automatic mechanical water filter is fully automated. Both filtering and backwashing are fully automated. Water flows through a special filter media that traps mechanical impurities of various sizes. During backwashing, the water filter removes mechanical impurities into the sewer. Based on the known amount of water consumed, the automatic control valve of the water filter is programmed to switch the filter to the rinsing (regeneration cycle). Only water is used during this rinsing process. For this reason, the automatic mechanical water filter is environmentally friendly.
