Target Market

� Upgrade / renovating sites– Change in water supply (fresh to reclaim)?– Unreliable water supply?– Spending too much labor cleaning sprinklers?– Sites with wells (to separate sand)?

� New Rain Bird Pump Stations

� Stand Alone – Irrigation– Pre treatment for membrane filtration systems.

Which Filter Do They Need?

� Type of Contaminant in Water?– Filamentous or Non-Filamentous

� Drip Irrigation or Turf Irrigation?– Determines Micron

� Flow Rate (Min/Max GPM)?– Continuous or Variable

� Physical Space– Horizontal or Vertical

� Line Size (in inches)

� Is a Bypass Manifold Required?– Filter Only or Filter with Manifold

� Use Tech Spec, Flow & Filter Sizing, Rinse Table

How Suction Scanning Filters Work

"How it Works" Suction Scanning Video

� Competitive Advantage– Powder coated carbon steel or thick wall stainless ste el– PVC backed stainless steel mesh screens

� Inexpensive to replace and robust– Single layer screen makes filamentous material easier to

remove vs. multi-layer screen.– Horizontal or in-line model.– Piston is not attached to the dirt collector (can’t break)– Only requires a simple control system (on/off)– Low flush volume (G – Series)– Large solenoid opening (5/8”) make it less susceptib le to

clogging (I – Series)

Hydraulic Series Suction Scanning Filters(I-Series and G -Series)

� Competitive Advantage– May be specified as powder coated carbon steel

or thick wall stainless, both with thick wall construction.

– Simple, electrical, design robust reversing ball-screw moves shaft back and forth.� Motor only turns one direction� Potential for mechanical failure is greatly

reduced– Simpler control system than an electric filter with

limit switches and a reversing motor.

E-Series Suction Scanning Filter

Primary I, G and E Series Competition

� Tekleen– Primarily markets stainless steel– Dirt collector attached to piston

� Filtomat (hydraulic)/Amiad (electric)– Primarily markets carbon steel– Has a plastic end cap– Cycles in only one pass

� VAF– Primarily markets V Series thin wall stainless steel (3 16L)– Hard to disassemble

� Forsta – Primarily markets stainless steel

Filtration Control� All filters flush based on time and / or pressure dif ferential

(user selectable)– Pressure differential is always used as a back-up default

� Filters integrated with a Rain Bird pump station: – PLC pump station controls and 115 VAC solenoids

� Stand Alone Filters:– Dedicated control system that utilizes 24 VAC solenoids– Controller included in filter price

� I-Series and G-Series filters: – Omni 400 controller for single filters– Omni 500 controller for dual filters– Omni 150 Battery operated (w/DC latching solenoid)

� E-Series filter: – Omni 4000 controller
