Transmission
Drum is turned by a heavy duty DC motor coupled to a lubricated gear box. An electronic variable speed is standard on each models allowing you to select the right drum rotation speed.
Materials
To maximize its durability, Aquamerik offers for several years an drum entirely molded in fiberglass (FTR-36/61 model). Others smaller models are made from plastic material ( chlorinated polyvinyl).
Head loss
Our filters offer a high flow industrial filtration with minimum head loss (around 4 to 6"). Ideally, the water supply will be performed by gravity to avoid particules fragmentation resulting from water pumping
Maintenance
Drum filter maintenance is very low, the screen replacement take only few minutes, you can easily adapt the filter to the actual need of water flow capacity and filtration performance requirements. There is only one part to lubricate two times a year. The strong motor and extra strength gear box significantly increases the filter's service life.
