Compact Self-Cleaning Filters for Low Flow and Small System Applications

Compact self-cleaning water filters designed for low flow applications and smaller system installations. The MTF Series delivers automatic filtration for industrial, irrigation, and water reuse systems where space, efficiency, and continuous operation are critical. Designed for low flow self-cleaning water filtration systems where reliable performance is required in compact installations.

What Are Low Flow Self-Cleaning Water Filters

Low flow self-cleaning water filters are automatic filtration systems designed for smaller systems where flow rates are limited but continuous filtration is required. Unlike larger industrial systems, compact filters like the MTF Series provide efficient debris removal and automatic cleaning in installations where space and system size are constrained.

These systems are commonly used in irrigation, small industrial loops, and water reuse applications where maintaining filtration without manual cleaning is essential.

How MTF Automatic Filtration Systems Work

The MTF Series operates as an automatic self-cleaning water filtration system that removes debris from the screen without interrupting flow.

  • Continuous filtration during cleaning cycles
  • Low rinse water consumption
  • Minimal maintenance requirements
  • Reliable performance in compact water filtration system

For higher flow systems, compare with ABW Series filters,
or for low pressure systems see LPF Series filters.

Applications for Low Flow Filtration Systems

MTF Series filters are designed for applications where compact filtration and low flow performance are required.

Irrigation Systems

Improve reliability and prevent clogging with Tekleen's irrigation self cleaning filter designed for smaller flow environments.

Small Industrial Systems

Our small self cleaning water filter is used in industrial water filtration systems where system size and flow rates are limited.

Cooling Towers & HVAC (Smaller Systems)

Support efficient operation in HVAC filtration systems with lower flow requirements.

Water Reuse Systems

Optimize reclaim systems such as car wash water filtration where compact filtration is needed.
Well Water Systems
Suitable for well water filtration where consistent filtration is required in smaller installations.

When to Use MTF vs Other Filter Series

The MTF Series compact water filtration system is designed low-flow filtration applications where space is limited and efficient automatic filtration is still required.

Use ABW Series filters for higher pressure systems
Use MTF Series filters for compact installations and low-to-medium flow systems
Use LPF Series filters for low-pressure systems and variable inlet conditions
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.
