Tekleen vs. Disc Filters:
A Smarter Filtration Choice

Discover the Tekleen Advantage

When choosing a water filtration system, selecting the appropriate filter type is crucial for operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness. While disc filters have been widely used in the past, Tekleen’s automatic self-cleaning water filters have proven to offer superior performance and numerous advantages to those who switch.

Tekleen's Superior Design and Performance

Exceptional Filtration Precision

Tekleen filters are engineered to filter particles down to 2 microns with an impressive 99.6% efficiency, ensuring the highest water purity standards. Unlike disc filters that allow larger particles to pass through, Tekleen delivers precision filtration for industrial, municipal, and irrigation applications.

Efficient
Backwash System

Tekleen's automatic backwash mechanism activates as needed, completing the cleaning cycle in under 10 seconds without interrupting the main flow. This process uses minimal water, significantly reducing waste compared to traditional disc filters, which consume higher water volumes during cleaning cycles.

Technical Advantages

Constructed from high-grade stainless steel, Tekleen filters are designed for durability and longevity, withstanding harsh environmental conditions and minimizing maintenance requirements. Disc filters, on the other hand, often rely on plastic or polymer materials, leading to wear and tear over time.
