Forsta Automatic Water Filter Solves Another Irrigation Problem

Online, August 23, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Forsta Filters has provided another automatic solution, this time tackling the problem of clogging irrigation sprinkler heads.

As a readily available water source, pond water is frequently used to water crops. That water source carries plenty of suspended solids, and can wreak havoc on sprinkler heads, clogging and potentially destroying them. This is not only nuisance, but can lead to major crop loss.

Adding a self-cleaning filter to an irrigation system provides reliable and automatic removal of sand and algae, improving the water source and protecting sprinklers from obstruction.

Improving water use efficiency in irrigation systems saves time and money. Reducing water use also saves energy, benefits the environment and promotes a company's commitment to sustainability. Forsta Green Clean technology can help to reduce backwash wastewater by as much as 75% for irrigation users. Without interrupting system flow during backwash, our filters' smaller flush valves minimize the volume of water required to remove buildup on the screen element.

Forsta self-cleaning water filters also fit excellently into systems which recycle water for irrigation. Where effluent filtration is employed, our irrigation filters typically enter the system at the secondary or tertiary phase.

Minimal use of water during its automatic cleaning cycle makes Forsta self-cleaning filters the premier industry choice for irrigation applications.

Forsta irrigationl water filters in golf, turf and landscape environments are most effectively placed nearest to the discharge of the main pump, typically thriving with a degree of filtration from 250-500μ.

Typical Applications:
Spray Nozzle Protection
Secondary/Tertiary Effluent
Lake Water Filtration
Well Water Filtration
Canal Water Filtration
Pond Water Filtration
