How Tekleen Water Filters Worked for Three Companies

Though seldom part of the original design, irrigation systems need filtration to rid contaminants from the lines. This ensures that plants are being watered properly and reduces the frequency of irrigation system maintenance by preventing small particles from progressing through the nozzles to plants.

“Filtration is a must with drip systems,” says Gideon Brunn, president of Automatic Filters, Inc. “Otherwise, the nozzles are constantly clogged.” Tekleen Water Filters take the maintenance out of the process because they are self-cleaning.

The line pressure at the filter outlet drops after dirt settles on the screen. As the pressure reaches a preset differential, it triggers the backwash cycle to begin. The vacuum nozzles suction dirt from the inside of the screen and flush it out into the drain. All of this is done without interrupting the main flow and requires only two gallons of rinse water, making it both production- and environmentallyfriendly.
