High-Flow Auto Pre-Filter
The Pentair High-Flow Pre-Filter is a whole-house water filtration system engineered to protect plumbing, appliances, and downstream equipment by capturing coarse sediment, sand, and rust particles (70 to 90 microns). Designed exclusively for municipal (town) water supplies, it operates reliably within a working water pressure range of 15 to 60 PSI (0.14 to 0.40 MPa).
Key Highlights
• Town Water Application: Specifically designed for municipal/town potable water sources. (Note: Not suitable for untreated raw water, muddy well water, or wastewater with adhesive clay without proper pre-separators).
• Optimal Operating Pressure: Works seamlessly across standard household water pressures between 15 and 60 PSI. (Note: If household pressure exceeds 60 PSI or experiences water hammer, a pressure release valve should be installed).
• Durable 316L Stainless Steel Core: Features a heavy-duty stainless steel mesh filter screen with a 230 cm² filtration area, backed by a 5-year lifespan.
• Transparent Monitoring Sump: High-impact Polycarbonate (PC) casing allows for easy visual inspection of dirt accumulation.
• Two Operational Options:
- ABF-10 (Automatic): Features a digital LCD controller with programmable backflushing schedules (0 to 30 days / 1 to 99 seconds duration) and an AC power supply with uninterrupted battery backup.
• Effortless Maintenance: Uses forward/backwash sediment flushing to clear trapped debris without requiring filter cartridge replacements every few months.
