We were going through 30 micron and 5 micron filters very fast -- almost a set every month!This was going to get expensive!
I did a little bit of research and discovered a self-cleaning filter made by a company called VU-FLOW FILTERS based out of Florida, USA.
This filter uses a unique spinning action in the filter to spin out the sediment in the water which collects mostly on the bottom of the filter. Cleaning the filter is easy - periodically, just turn the tap on the bottom and the sediment that collects is flushed out.
I also found it useful to remove and clean the stainless steel filter screen and wash it about every second flush.
I choose to use a 100 Micro filter, as the pre-filter to my 30 and 5 micron filters downstream.
Coming Up:
In the next post I will show you the complete filter set up.
