3.4 Functional description
The unfiltered drinking water flows into the filter from the inlet side
and then from the outside in through the filter element and to the
pure water outlet.
Thus, foreign particles of a size > 80 µm are retained.
Depending on their size and weight, the foreign particles either
stick to the filter element or they fall straight down into the filter
cylinder.
In order to indicate the operating pressure, a pressure gauge with
brass insert can additionally be installed on the inlet or outlet side.
