ATLAS strainers help prevent unwanted solid particles carried by the installation from reaching sensitive equipment. Correct placement at pump inlets and upstream of water meters and control valves provides pre-filtration to help protect these components.
A stainless steel filter element supports corrosion resistance. Different perforation sizes allow selection according to the particles to be retained and the protected equipment. Flow and acceptable pressure loss are considered rather than applying one mesh opening to every installation.
Treating the meter, valve and pump as a system helps position filtration appropriately. With suitable selection and regular filter checks, ATLAS strainers help preserve operating conditions. They are not water-treatment devices that remove all contaminants or dissolved substances.
Strainers are used to collect unwanted particles that could enter the system. Strainers are typically fitted at pump inlets and upstream of water meters, control valves and sensitive equipment, thereby protecting these components from particles.
The filters used in dirt traps are manufactured from stainless steel. This eliminates the risk of corrosion in harsh conditions. Filters are produced with different hole sizes to suit various requirements.
