Coarse filter for water meter: classification and selection criteria

Unfortunately, urban filtration stations are not able to provide high-quality water purification from impurities, and the deplorable condition of pipelines further aggravates the situation. As a result, various impurities in the form of sand, dirt, rust or lime get into the impeller of the meter, which quickly disables it. A coarse filter for the water meter will help prevent damage to metering devices by solid and fibrous inclusions, as well as ensure their correct operation throughout the entire service life.

Classification of coarse water filters in front of the meter

For local water supply systems in apartments or private houses, several configurations of such products have been developed. Thus, the coarse water filters in front of the meter differ in the following characteristics:

• the location of the sump;
• connection type;
• filter material;
• diameter of the inlet and outlet pipe;
• the service method.

The most common type of product is a part in which the sump with a filter is located at an angle relative to the flow. Such a coarse strainer is considered universal and can be mounted on both horizontal and vertical sections of the water supply system. If the product has a perpendicular sump, then its installation is possible only on horizontally located sections of the pipeline.
