Basic concepts
Filtration surface: Area that allows water to pass while retaining suspended particles.
Recommended flow: Optimal filtration must take into account the quality of the source water
and its use. The quality of the source water is divided into 4 sections, which have maximum
theoretical flows. The sectorization corresponds to the particles per million diluted in the water.

Stretch 2: 50-100ppm

Stretch 3: 100/200ppm.

Stretch 4: > 200ppm.
Loss of pressure (HEAD LOSS): It is the difference in load produced between two points of the
same flow. The friction of the water with the filter medium produces a loss of energy. The diluted
substances are trapped in the mesh generating a decrease in the porosity of the filter medium,
which causes an increase in the pressure drop. The pressure drop measurement is carried out
by means of a pressure tap on the inlet manifoldand another one on the outlet manifold.
