Our robust and reliable self-cleaning intake strainers filter out debris which blocks pumps. These pump filters keep their screens clear and clean with a continuous automatic backwash system. A self-cleaning pump filter ends the worry of a constantly blocking pump filter or pump. They connect to the suction intake hose of surface mounted pumps.
Our filters allow the use of high pressure, multi-stage pumps to pump water contaminated with suspended solids – e.g. final effluent, flood water, lake and river water, and waste water from industry. A blocked pump suction intake filter can quickly cause a pump to dry run, cause cavitation, or damage the pump motor – unless it has a suction-side Rotorflush self-cleaning pump filter.
In addition, valuable equipment – heat exchangers, water features, irrigation equipment, fountains etc – are protected from blocking. At the least, this saves on downtime and maintenance and at best protects against loss of expensive machinery.
Unlike traditional basket strainers, Rotorflush self-cleaning pump filters and intake strainers do not blind or clog. Pumps using our filters are far less likely to block, and wildlife and downstream equipment are protected.
Maintenance is minimal, downtime is reduced, and damage to equipment is avoided. Our self-cleaning intake filters ensure a continuous filtered supply from your pump in very dirty water conditions. All our filters are truly – and continuously – self-cleaning.
Our self-cleaning intakes are suitable for use where regulations apply for the protection of eels and for EPA rule 316(b) cooling water intake compliance. Call us to find out more.
Rotorflush self-cleaning pump filters are designed to be used on the suction pipe of most dry mounted centrifugal water pumps. They can be used as:
In short, most pumps with a suction hose that needs protection from blocking and where water needs screening or filtering.
We also supply submersible pumps with our award-winning intake filters integrated into their design
Water filtration and pumping combined. Our submersible filterpumps™ with a built self-cleaning pump filter combine suction intake filtration and pumping directly from a water source.
Installation and operation are simple, put the filter pump in the water and plug it in. The self-cleaning backwash mechanism keeps the pump filter clean and the pump delivers filtered water – output is uninterrupted by the backwash.
Most submersible pumps do not have a suction pipe connection, so having good screening and filtration on their suction side often not possible. That's why Rotorflush have developed and supply a wide range of submersible pumps with their patented self-cleaning technology built-in.
Rotorflush Filterpumps™ can also help you with compliance to EA Regulations for Eel Screening
