Liquid enters the vessel through the inlet, located at the bottom of the filter.
As the liquid travels upward, it flows through the filter media, past the top seal, separating the dirty and clean water chambers, and down the standpipe as it exits the filter. Because the top of the standpipe is located above the top seal, air is self-purged from the filter to eliminate vents and improve filtration efficiency. Large diameter ultra high capacity pleated filters with rigid center tube feature threaded end cap for positive sealing under pressure applications. Flow rates calculated with a 5 micron filter. The SS-40 has a max flow rate of 50 gpm with a 2 psi pressure loss.
