Introduction
First of all, we want to thank you for purchasing this filter, the result of the work of a group of
people committed to offering the correct solution to each filtration process. All products
designed and manufactured by ITM Filters meet self-imposed requirements for quality,
efficiency and durability. This philosophy is accredited through certification by external bodies.
The highest efficiency of the system is obtained with correct operation and maintenance, please
properly follow the indications in this manual throughout the life of the product. We invite you
to visit our website: www.itmfilters.com for more information about our products and our
company policies.
1.1 Filter identification
The filter is identified with the following decal:
1.2 Basic concepts
Filtration surface: Area that allows water to pass while retaining suspended particles.
Recommended flow rate: The optimal filtration must take into account the quality of the source
water and the application it has. The application of water is divided into 2 sectors, which have
maximum theoretical flows. The sectorization corresponds to the type of irrigation:
●Sector 1: Drip irrigation - Mesh 125 µm.
●Sector 2: Sprinkler irrigation - Mesh ø2 mm.
Loss of pressure (HEAD LOSS): It is the difference in load produced between two points of the
same flow. The friction of the water with the filter medium produces a loss of energy. The diluted
substances are trapped in the mesh generating a decrease in the porosity of the filter medium,
which causes an increase in the pressure drop.
The pressure drop measurement is carried out by means of a pressure tap on the inlet manifold
and another one on the outlet manifold.

2.6 Manufacturing technical characteristics
-Materials:
oCarbon steel metal components.
oZinc plated screws 6.8.
oMesh cartridge : PVC structure with AISI-316 Stainless Steel. Filtration degree:
125 microns.
oGrinding cartridge: AISI-304 Stainless Steel. Ø2 mm pass.
oEDPM gaskets: 60 SHORE.
-Superficial treatment:
oSurface shot blasting up to SA ½ grade.
oTwo-layer EPOXY-POLYESTER powder paint finish, oven-polymerized RAL 6004.
-Working characteristics:
oMaximum operating temperature 50ºC.
Installation
1. Make sure the filter flow direction is correct.
2. Place the inlet and outlet manifolds, fixing the flanges with their corresponding gaskets.
3. Place the pressure gauges, one on the inlet manifold and the other on the water outlet
manifold.
4. Carry out a first manual cleaning of the filter mesh.
5. Check that the unions are tight, turn on the water supply and verify that there are no leaks.
6. Filtering. Open the water flow at the recommended flow rate and at a working pressure of
10 kg/cm².
7. Clean the filter when the pressure gauges indicate a pressure difference equal to or greater
than 0.5 kg/cm².
8. Cleaning. Disconnect the water flow and open the filter, depending on the model, by
loosening the handle or the Screws. Remove the cap and then the filter, clean it by applying
high pressure water to its outer surface and use a bristle brush on the inside if necessary.
Replace and close the filter ensuring that the cap fits tightly
Operation and maintenance
Mesh filtering consists in the physical separation between water and the substances that are
suspended in it. When the mesh filter becomes clogged, it produces a pressure difference
between the water inlet and outlet. The manual cleaning cycle is necessary when reaching a
pressure difference of 0,5 kg/cm². The water passes from the internal area of the filter to the
external one causing the accumulation of dirt in the internal part of the mesh.
Maintenance necessary for proper operation: review of joints and review of paint.
