String wound sediment filter offers true depth filtration with high dirt holding capacity and extremely low media migration.
The filter is manufactured using a high speed, continuous wind process which creates a superior one-piece filter with hundreds of diamond shaped tunnels that get progressively smaller from the outer diameter to the core.
Finer particles are progressively trapped as fluids travels to the center of the filter allowing for much greater retention capacity than that which is associated with straight surface filter media of the same dimensions and porosity.
Take a breath. I raised my irrigation pump about a meter off the ground. Constantly loosing prime, I check, rechecked and replaced the non-return valve on the inlet side. Online research pointed to the outlet siphoning out the prime due to the height. This vacuum breaker on the outlet side solved the problem 100% by allowing some air into the system, without draining the prime, as the water in the pipe dropped down to ground level, whenever the pump is switched off. No more priming issues.
