Low Pressure Self-Cleaning Water Filters (LPF Series)

Automatic low pressure self-cleaning water filters (15 PSI and Above)

LPF Series

Low pressure self-cleaning water filters designed to operate at pressures as low as 15 PSI. The LPF Series provides reliable automatic filtration for industrial, irrigation, and municipal systems where traditional high-pressure filters are not suitable. Designed for low pressure self-cleaning water filtration systems where consistent performance is required without high operating pressure.

What Are Low Pressure Self-Cleaning Water Filters

Low pressure self-cleaning water filters are automatic filtration systems designed to operate in environments where available pressure is limited. Unlike conventional filters that require higher operating pressure, LPF systems maintain efficient filtration and cleaning cycles at pressures as low as 15 PSI. This makes them ideal for gravity-fed systems, open water sources, and applications where boosting pressure is not practical or cost-effective. These systems are commonly used in irrigation, canal water filtration, and gravity-fed industrial applications where maintaining higher pressure is not feasible. The LPF Series operates as an automatic low pressure self-cleaning water filtration system that removes debris from the screen without interrupting flow.

  • Continuous filtration during cleaning cycles
  • Minimal pressure loss (less than 1 PSI at rated flow)
  • Reduced water waste during flushing
  • No manual cleaning required
For higher pressure applications, compare with ABW Series self-cleaning filters.

How Low Pressure Self-Cleaning Filters Work

LPF Series filters operate as automatic low pressure filter systems using a pressure differential-driven cleaning cycle. As debris accumulates on the screen, the system initiates an automatic flush sequence that removes contaminants without interrupting flow.

Key benefits include:

  • Continuous filtration during cleaning cycles
  • No manual intervention required
  • Reduced water waste during flushing
  • Consistent pressure and flow performance

When to Use LPF vs Other Filter Series

The LPF Series is designed specifically for low-pressure filtration environments where traditional automatic filters cannot operate effectively.

Use ABW Series filters for higher pressure systems
Use MTF Series filters for compact installations and low-flow systems
Use LPF when system pressure is below standard filtration thresholds
Use CSB Series filters for brush-assisted cleaning in challenging debris conditions
Use CSF Series filters for specialized filtration requirements and custom industrial solutions
Use CSF-ABW Series filters for enhanced high-flow performance with advanced configurations
Use Skid-mounted filtration systems for turnkey, pre-engineered filtration packages

Choosing the correct system ensures optimal performance and long-term reliability.
