Reverse rinsing filters are the ultimate solution for maintaining clean water and protecting commercial water systems. Designed for the building services sector, these high-performance filters ensure uninterrupted water flow, minimise maintenance, and extend the lifespan of critical infrastructure. Discover how reverse rinsing technology can enhance your water system's efficiency and reliability.

What Is a Reverse Rinsing Filter?

A reverse rinsing filter is a high-efficiency water filtration device designed to remove debris such as rust particles, sand, and other contaminants from water systems. Unlike traditional filters, reverse rinsing filters incorporate a unique self-cleaning mechanism that uses filtered water to flush out accumulated particles, ensuring continuous filtration without the need for frequent manual intervention.

Commonly used in commercial and industrial water systems, these filters are essential for maintaining the performance and longevity of building services equipment.

How Does a Reverse Rinsing Filter Work?

  1. Filtration Mode: Water flows through a fine mesh filter from outside to inside, trapping debris and preventing it from entering the system.

  2. Reverse Rinsing Mode: When cleaning is required, filtered water is redirected through the filter in reverse, flushing out contaminants. The process is quick, efficient, and uses minimal water.

The system can be manually activated or automated using optional differential pressure switches and actuators for seamless operation.

Applications of Reverse Rinsing Filters

  1. Central water supply systems in commercial buildings.

  2. Industrial processes requiring high water quality.

  3. Protection of heat exchangers, cooling systems, and boilers.

  4. Retrofit projects to enhance existing water infrastructure.

  5. Coarse filtration prior to finer particulate filters 

Why Choose Reverse Rinsing Filters for Building Services?

For domestic, commercial and industrial water systems, maintaining water quality is critical to operational efficiency. Reverse rinsing filters not only ensure a continuous supply of clean water but also protect expensive infrastructure from the damaging effects of contaminants. Their ability to clean themselves with minimal water usage makes them an environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution for modern building services.

Benefits of Implementing a Reverse Rinsing Filter

  • Uninterrupted Water Supply
    Reverse rinsing filters ensure a continuous flow of clean water, even during the cleaning process, making them ideal for large-scale applications where downtime is not an option.

  • Enhanced System Protection
    By removing contaminants like rust and sand, these filters protect downstream cold water storage tanks and equipment, such as boilers, heat exchangers, and pumps, from damage and blockages.

  • Cost Savings

    • Energy Efficiency: Cleaner water reduces scale build-up, improving energy efficiency in heating and cooling systems.

    • Reduced Maintenance: The self-cleaning mechanism minimises manual servicing and replacement costs.

  • Durability and Reliability
    With robust construction materials like brass, stainless steel, and polyamide coatings, reverse rinsing filters are built to withstand high pressures and temperatures, ensuring long-lasting performance.

  • Compliance and Standards
    These filters meet stringent potable water standards (e.g., DIN/DVGW/WRAS certification), making them suitable for building services and industrial applications.

  • Line Sizes: Available in sizes ranging from ½" to 2" BSP.

  • Flow Rates and Associated Pressure Drops:

    • Flow rates vary depending on the specific model size.
