MICROLENE™ IN-LINE WATER FILTERSMICROLENE™ IN-LINE WATER FILTERS
The SFES manifold filtration process is unique in design
and application. These water filters use a medical quality
high density, hydrophilically treated, porous polyethylene
filter disc at both ends of the filter. The disc assembly will
remove suspended particles as small as one micron, which
is more than adequate for food service equipment. The onemicron disc has specifically been incorporated into our
Microlene water filters because of its ability to remove
particulates which may affect the operation of food service
equipment. The unique design allows for omni-directional
installation of the filters with uniform flow and backflushing capabilities.
After passing through the first stage particulate filter, the
pre-cleansed water then enters the filter body containingthe
active media. High quality, purification grade, granular
activated carbon is used in all SFES GC Series products.
The activated carbon adsorbs chlorine and other bad tastes
and odors from the watersource.
The VP-Series water filters contain a special scale
inhibiting compound- a slow dissolving, food grade,
hexametaphosphate crystal which is FDA approved for use
in the treatment of drinkingwater.
The crystal has been specially formulated so that a
skeletal structure remains while and after the phosphate has
been released. This ensures a positive displacement in the
media bed at all times.
The phosphate effectively controls corrosion byforming
a thin protective film on all metallic surfaces. This film
does not build up on itself and thus does not interfere with
the heat transfer or water flow, and enhances energy
efficiency. The formation of lime-scale (calcium) deposits
are inhibited by the presence of the phosphate crystal in the
water. In cold water applications, this special crystal
inhibits lime scale by sequestering the scale causing
minerals so that they cannot precipitate and form scale
deposits on equipment parts. For hot water or hard water
applications, refer to SFES's line of HydroBlend™
ScaleStick™ products specially designed for steam and
high-temp applications.
All SFES systems come with pre-filter housing as
shown to incorporate either standard sediment filter
cartridges or the ScaleStick. A special 5 micron sediment
wrap filter is also availableforScaleStick applications.
