Automatic Self-Cleaning Water Filters for Point of Entry
Filtration for reverse osmosis (r/o) pre-filtration and drinking water. Any water source that is used for drinking may have physical contaminates such as sand, silt, algae, worms, and snails, making the water unsafe for drinking. In addition particulate or colloidal fouling of reverse osmosis (RO) elements can seriously impair performance by lowering productivity. An early sign of colloidal fouling is often noticed an increased pressure differential across the system. This causes too many scheduled and unscheduled shutdowns for maintenance, as well as manual cleaning and replacement of screens and membranes.
Tekleen filters offers now 2 micron automatic self-cleaning screen filters which will get rid of this dirt and will extend the life of the membranes. Tekleen also offers of testing the feed water measurement of the silt density index (SDI). This is an important measurement to be carried out prior to designing an RO pretreatment system and on a regular basis during RO operation. Tekleen filters is protecting Dow and DuPont membranes in many potable water treatment customers.
Tekleen automatic self-cleaning filters deliver reliable, high-efficiency water filtration with minimal maintenance, ensuring superior performance for industrial, irrigation, and municipal applications.
Point of entry filtration is an important first step for drinking water and reverse osmosis pretreatment because suspended solids and physical contaminants can quickly affect downstream performance. Sand, silt, algae, worms, snails, and other particles in feed water may increase fouling, reduce productivity, and shorten the life of membranes if they are not removed effectively. Better filtration helps protect equipment before water reaches sensitive downstream processes, supporting cleaner operation and more reliable system performance over time.
Self-Cleaning Water Filters for Point of Entry are especially valuable in applications where reverse osmosis systems need dependable pre-filtration to reduce particulate and colloidal fouling. When pressure differential rises across the system, operators may face more scheduled and unscheduled shutdowns, extra maintenance, and manual cleaning of screens and membranes. Improved point of entry filtration helps lower the solids load reaching the RO stage, which can support better productivity and reduce maintenance demands in drinking water and pretreatment applications.
Automatic self-cleaning filtration also helps maintain performance without frequent cartridge changes or manual intervention. This makes it easier to manage feed water quality while protecting downstream membrane systems in municipal, industrial, and potable water applications.

Reliable point of entry filtration also helps reduce maintenance demands by limiting the amount of suspended solids that reach downstream equipment. Cleaner feed water supports better pretreatment performance, lowers fouling risk, and helps operators maintain more consistent system efficiency over time.
In applications where drinking water quality and RO membrane protection are important, better filtration provides a practical way to improve reliability and reduce unnecessary shutdowns. This added protection can support longer equipment life and more dependable day-to-day operation.
Point of entry filtration also helps protect downstream systems, improve feed water quality, and support more reliable long-term operation in demanding water treatment applications.
