BII STANDARD SPIN-OUT FILTERS
APPLICATIONS
Designed for installation on suction or discharge side of pump on systems with flow rates of 25 GPM (1" filter housings),
10 - 50 GPM (1-1/2" filter housings) and 18 - 100 GPM systems (2" filter housing) these filters provide an effective means for removing large
volumes of sediment. They are ideal for whole house filtration, agricultural and commercial / industrial applications. Overall filtration costs are
greatly reduced when used as a pre-filter in duplex filtration systems by preventing post-filtration cartridges from plugging prematurely before their
absorption ability is exhausted, maximizing the capacity / utilization of the carbon. This dramatically increases the life span of taste and odor,
granular carbon and other fine micron cartridges.
SEDIMENT FILTER APPLICATIONS
NOTE: The information shown here is general in nature because of the many variations in shape, size and s pecific gravity
of the materials being filtered.

In
general, use the coarsest screen deemed necessary to filter the material you want removed. This will result in longer runs between blow-downs.

TURES / CONSTRUCTION / RATINGS
• Spin
out action creates centrifugal force which ensures that particulate is forced outward to the filter bowl protecting the filter element from
ab
rasion. For this reason, it is important that the proper size filter housing is used: Up to 1- 25 GPM use 1" housing,
10
- 50 GPM use 1-1/2" housing, 18 - 100 GPM use 2" housing. Oversizing the filter can lead to excessive wear or premature clog ging of the
fil
ter element due to the lack of spin-out action
• Mol
ded heavy duty PVC filter body
• Cle
ar polycarbonate filter bowl allows for visual inspection of flow and filter performance
• Ea
ch filter is shipped complete with a purge valve for the 1/2" MPT drain cleanout port providing an ea sy means to flush (clean) filtrates which
a
re deposited on the outside of the filter screen without having to shut off the water supply
• Al
l materials are non-corrosive and are ultraviolet stabilized / weather resistant
• El
ement can be cleaned with soft brush after the element has be en soaked in 50/50 bleach and water so lution to remove stains caused by
iro
n, etc. Rinse the element thoroughly
