Discs Filter: Water entering the filter enter through the Helix device generates a centrifugal effect that pushes particles in the water away from the stacked discs. Water passes through the grooves on the surface of the discs, leaving fine particles in and between the grooves.
Helix technology has two major advantages:
- Decreases the frequency of backwashing, thereby minimizing the amount of water used
- Allows discs to “concentrate” on removing finer particles
Screen Filter: With a screen filter, water flows out from the inside of the filtration element, leaving the particles on the interior surface of the screen.
