General Information about RF300 self-cleaning filters
RF300 filters are general purpose pump suction hose intake filters with a built-in self-cleaning filter mechanism that back-washes the filter mesh as your pump draws water. They are designed for use with a surface mounted pump, which can also supply the backwash to the screen from its output. Alternatively, these screens can be made with a built-in submersible pump to provide a dedicated backwash to the mesh separately from your main pump.
Dirty water is screened at source, helping to prevent the intake, pump and any connected equipment from blocking. These 300 mm diameter self-cleaning intakes attach to the suction of surface mounted pumps
Here are some typical uses of these filters:
- Irrigation and watering
- Cooling water screening for EPA Rule 316 (b) and Eel Regulations compliance
- Filtration spray bars and fountains
- Screening industrial process water
Standard RF300 self-cleaning intake filter - Compact Design
RF300AR-E self-cleaning filter with in-built backwash pump
Rotorflush RF300 self-cleaning suction intakes can be fitted with:
Nylon Mesh Inserts
The filter mesh is made up of replaceable bias-cut nylon mesh offering a very clean filtration, ideal for sampling. The inserts are inexpensive and easy to replace.
Available in 60 micron, 115 micron or 300 micron.
316 Sintered Stainless Steel Mesh
A robust 2 layer sintered steel screen that can be easily cleaned with a pressure washer. Ideal for screening water for heat pumps and other application with small tolerances.
Available in 50 micron, 100 micron and 315 micron
316 Stainless Woven Mesh
A coarse woven mesh screen providing low maintenance cycles, filters and screens with coarse mesh come fitted with rubber backwash jets which are suitable for handling larger particles. Ideal difficult water conditions.
Mesh apertures available: 1 mm, 2 mm and 3 mm
Due to their compact size (300 mm diameter), RF300s can be installed in a number of ways.
The key thing to remember is to make sure that they have a lot of clear space around the mesh for the backwashed debris to be dispersed into, and that they are not sited in any silt or sludge build up below the filter.
RF300s can be suspended or attached to a float. We also manufacture stands and guide rails to help site our products.
Set-up using filter with separate dry backwash pump.................................Set-up using filter with built-in submersible backwash pump
Usually very little. Although they are self-cleaning all of our products will require a manual clean every once in a while.
The nylon mesh inserts are easily replaced, and stainless mesh can be cleaned with a pressure washer. How often depends on your mesh size and what you are filtering.
As a minimum we recommend the following:
- Mesh up to 115 micron should be cleaned or replaced every 1000 hours of use
- Mesh up to 315 micron should be cleaned or replaced every 5000 hours of use
- Coarse mesh that is 1 mm or bigger should be inspected and cleaned every 6 - 12 months
Full maintenance guidelines can be found in the instruction manual available from the download link above.
All our products are guaranteed for a year. Full details in our Terms and Conditions.
