Installation of Self-Cleaning intake screen filter to prevent large particles such as sticks, algae, fish, and other organics from entering the pump and causing damage. The screen is installed in the water at the end of the suction line, below the foot valve.
Self-cleaning models offer a pressurized backwash line (supplied by the pump) with internal nozzles that rotate the screen to continuously clean the screen and therefore reduce maintenance.
Intake screens available in 1500 micron and 2500 micron sizes. It should be noted that when a coarse screen is used, a finer filter should be used after the pump to further remove smaller particles before they enter the irrigation system.
