AquaIT, SELF-CLEANING FILTER AQUA 1"1/2 AP-PRO PLUS (ref. KM-A8000050)

Overview

The Aqua AP Pro Plus is a self-cleaning sediment filter that is installed inline on the water network, at the point of entry. Its 1" 1/2 connection makes it suitable for installations with high flow rates: large homes, small multi-unit buildings, commercial applications or installations fed by a well or borehole.

Operating principle

Water passes through a filter screen that stops solid particles: sand, rust, soil, pipe debris. Unlike a standard filter housing, the screen is not disposable. It is cleaned by rinsing, and deposits are evacuated through the drain without removing the filter.

Key features

• Reusable screen: no cartridge to replace at each service
• Quick cleaning by rinsing, without disassembly
• Upstream protection for water softeners, reverse osmosis units, UV sterilisers, pumps, water heaters and fittings
• 1" 1/2 connection for high-flow installations

Installation

The filter is installed inline, just after the meter or pump and upstream of all equipment to be protected. Provide a drain outlet under the purge to evacuate rinsing water, and leave clear access for maintenance. Install in a frost-free location.

Maintenance

Rinse the screen as soon as flow decreases or deposits become visible. Frequency depends on the particle load in the water. On well or borehole water with high sediment content, regular rinsing maintains constant flow.

Choosing the right product

The self-cleaning filter is suitable for retaining sediments. It does not treat taste, chlorine or hardness. For these parameters, it is complemented downstream by a carbon filter, a water softener or a reverse osmosis unit. The DIMM team will help you design the appropriate treatment chain.
