Plastic Spin Clean ® Filters by Jain with 100 Mesh Blue Stainless Steel Screen and MPT Ball Valve for manual flushing. We carry 3/4", 1", 1 1/2" and 2" threaded filters.
110 GPM MAX
Jain’s elements are available in 30, 50, 100, 150 (standard) and 200 mesh. Plastic Spin Clean ® Filters are strong, stainless steel screen screen filters that stay clean during operation. They effectively keep debris moving across the screen element towards the basin, where it is collected and can be drained.
Operation Incoming unfiltered water from the inlet is forced though the nozzles of a stationary spin plate at the top of the filter screen element. These nozzles blast water across the inside screen surface, continuously sweeping the screen clean, spinning debris toward the basin where it is collected. Each filter model is designed to self-clean over a flow range corresponding to pressure differentials between the inlet and outlet of the filter of from 5-8 psi. As long as the flow through the filter is sufficient to produce these pressure differentials, a strong self-cleaning action will be maintained. These flow ranges are shown for each filter model in the Flow Range charts. These pressure differentials are critical for the filter to run long periods without maintenance. Operating the filter at less than the minimum pressure differential will reduce the cleaning action resulting in more frequent screen clogging and disassembly to remove and clean the screen.
4E Spin Clean ® models usually require only periodic flushing of contaminants from the drain basin. With higher loading of contaminants it may be necessary to flush more frequently or on a continuous basis with a small flow of water. (See Maintenance Care Below)
Product Features
• No moving parts • Unique Spin Clean® action keeps the screen clean during operation
• Engineered plastic construction is light in weight and resistant to corrosion and injected chemicals
• Two piece threaded housing with O-ring seal for easy screen access and maintenance
• Pressure ratings of 80 psi and 150 psi available in ¾” and 1” models
• Strong stainless steel screen elements available in 30, 50, 100, 150 (standard) and 200 mesh • Vinyl screen collars prevent debris from by-passing filter area • Available with ball valve for flushing debris basin
• Only 5-8 psi pressure loss required across filter to ensure best self cleaning action
Maintenance Care should be taken to keep the operating pressure differential across the filter between 5-8 psi.
Pressure reading should be monitored sufficiently to detect any build up of pressure differential during normal operation, which indicates the start of filter screen plugging. When this occurs, the system should be shut down, the filter drained and disassembled. The screen element should be washed thoroughly using a high pressure spray washer, spraying from outside in.
Several steps can be taken to extend the maintenance interval:
1. Start with a thoroughly clean screen element. Rinsing with garden hose pressure is not as good as using a pressure washer. 2. Make sure the filter never runs with less than a 5 psi differential. 3. Change spin plates or use more Flow Inserts (on the 5E-40 model) to boost operating differential to 8 psi if not already achieved, to further increase cleaning action. 4. Increase flush flow rate for continuous flushing filters. 5. Pre-screen heavy organic/aquatic loads with a coarse screen filter at the pump inlet for surface water installations. 6. Open flush valve fully on start-up to prevent sudden loading from a surge of contaminants
