WISY 'Floating Suction Filters'
Floating suction filter
‘The WISY Floating Suction Filter is used for drawing water from tanks, ponds or bore holes. It consists of a float, a fine filter housing with a non-return valve and a sealed hose nozzle.
The fine gauge of the filter mesh prevents particles being sucked into the pump, reducing wear and tear. The large surface area of the filter reduces suction resistance which enhances the pump performance.
The float ensures that the water is always extracted from where it is cleanest, just below the surface of the water, protecting the pump from sucking up sediment.
• Extraction takes place from a level where the water is cleanest
• Protects the pump against drawing up sediment
• Fine self-cleaning mesh filter’
