What is Automatic self-cleaning strainer ? : A Auto self-cleaning strainer, also known as a self-cleaning filter, is a type of water filter that uses system pressure to clean itself. It effectively removes unwanted particles from a water source and helps save money on water, energy, maintenance, and equipment replacement. Unlike other filter technologies like bag or cartridge filters, self-cleaning strainers do not require constant change outs and system shutdowns. With basic bi-annual or annual inspections (depending on particle load), self-cleaning strainers can replace the need for daily, weekly, or monthly shutdowns.
IWAKO self-cleaning strainers are used to protect pipes and a wide range of downstream equipment from excessive scale buildup, contaminant settling, and clogged or fouled equipment, all of which can cause poor pump performance. Pumping dirty water through a piping system also requires more energy as pipe orifices become smaller. Implementing a self-cleaning water strainer like IWAKO's can prevent these consequences and save energy.
