How it Works

Operating Sequence

View a step-by-step walkthrough of the operating sequence for every Equeron screen filter.

The operation of an Equeron is divided into five main stages of one continous cycle, as demonstrated below.

Step 1: Zone Separation

The internal assembly is hydraulicly seperated into two zones - filter screen and flush motor.

Step 2: Water Entry

Dirty water enters the inlet, passes through the screen and exits the outlet. The flush valve remains closed.

Step 3: Pressure Different Reached and Flush Cycle Begins

When the pressure differential across the filter screen exceeds 7 psi, the flush valve is opened, engaging the flush motor.

Step 4: Sediment is Flushed out and Automatically Cleans the Filter

Water flows through the suction nozzle and rotates the nozzles across the screen. Sediment travels from the dirty screen out the flush while the filtration process remains uninterrupted.

Step 5: Flush Valve Closes

After a 15 second flush cycle, the flush valve closes and the filter returns to normal operation. This process of the flush valve opening and flushing out sediment repeats continously to automatically clean the screen filter.
