FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Tekleen Automatic Self-Cleaning Water Filters

Tekleen filters continuously monitor the pressure differential between inlet and outlet. When particle buildup reaches a preset threshold (typically 5–7 psi), the controller activates the backwash cycle. During backwash, a focused hydraulic flush is directed through the collector assembly, creating a localized reverse flow while maintaining forward filtration through 90% of the screen surface. This ensures uninterrupted downstream supply. The self-cleaning process removes contaminants without halting filtration, supporting continuous operation and optimal efficiency.

 

Tekleen filters initiate a self-cleaning cycle only when necessary—typically when the pressure differential reaches a preset level (usually between 5–7 psi). The process takes just seconds, minimizing water waste and maintaining consistent flow during backwash. Flush times may vary depending on factors such as water quality, filtration level, flow rate, and more.

Unlike traditional water filters that require frequent manual cleaning and media replacement, Tekleen filters are fully automated and self-cleaning—significantly reducing labor, maintenance, and replacement costs. We recommend a quick visual inspection every six months and just one hour of preventative maintenance annually.

Tekleen filters effectively remove suspended solids—including sediment, sand, scale, organic matter, and debris—ensuring high water quality and protecting downstream equipment.

Tekleen filters provide filtration down to 2 microns with up to 99.6% precision, depending on configuration—far surpassing traditional sand or disc filters, which typically operate in the 30–100 micron range.

Installation & Performance Questions

Tekleen filters are designed for easy installation and can be retrofitted into existing systems with little to no modification. Available in a range of sizes and configurations, they meet diverse industrial needs—and custom-designed units can be provided at no additional cost to fit your existing setup.

Yes, Tekleen filters are made of stainless steel and engineered for durability in high-pressure and high-flow applications, making them suitable for industrial, municipal, and agricultural operations.

Tekleen filters support scalable filtration—from single units handling up to 10,000 GPM to engineered parallel configurations with virtually unlimited flow capacity—making them ideal for both small- and large-scale operations.

No. The self-cleaning mechanism is powered by the system’s existing water pressure, eliminating the need for external motors or energy sources.

 Tekleen filters automate the cleaning process, reducing labor costs, water waste, and operational downtime unlike manual sand or cartridge filters that require frequent cleaning and replacement

Efficiency & Cost-Saving Questions

Traditional filtration systems require frequent manual intervention, leading to operational shutdowns. Tekleen’s automatic backwash cycle cleans the filter in under 10 seconds without stopping filtration, ensuring maximum uptime.

Tekleen filters use up to 90% less backwash water than traditional sand filters, significantly reducing water waste and operational costs.

By eliminating the need for manual cleaning and filter replacements, Tekleen filters help industries save thousands of dollars annually on maintenance and labor costs.

Yes. By maintaining clean water flow and reducing scale caused by dirty water, Tekleen filters help optimize equipment downstream in industrial systems, leading to lower energy consumption.

Tekleen filters serve a wide range of industries where clean water and operational efficiency are essential—including HVAC, manufacturing, food processing, agriculture, power generation, and municipal water treatment. These sectors rely on Tekleen’s automatic self-cleaning water filtration technology to support critical processes, protect equipment, and reduce costs through lower maintenance needs and water conservation.
