Self Cleaning

Hydrotherms self-cleaning strainers are designed with performance being the utmost priority. Offering high straining ratios from traditionally accepted basket designs, these strainers can reduce operating costs due to longer cycle periods when used in the intermittent/automatic backwash mode. The basket design should be the major concern when evaluating self-cleaning strainers. Quite often, artificially high straining ratios are achieved by "unusual methods" such as "accordioned" elements. While these elements may technically possess a higher amount of open area achieved by folding the perforated plate into the shape of an accordion, the resultant valleys will clog with debris twice as fast. Hydrotherms basket elements have legitimate open area, whether using highly durable wedge wire or perforated plate. From the cast units to the customizable fabricated units, Hydrotherms strainers offer a design that translates directly into longevity and durability.
