IMI Series

The unit consists of two stages of filtration, a coarse screen pre-filter and a stainless steel fine screen. Suspended solids accumulate on the inner surface of the fine screen, building up a filter layer which eventually restricts the filter and creates a pressure differential. Once the pressure differential reaches a preset level a rinse cycle is initiated by the Rain Bird supplied controller. The solids are removed from the fine screen using a concentrated backwashing method which aggressively sucks the accumulated dirt off the screen where it is carried to drain via the rinse valve. The dirt collector rotates while it moves linearly, ensuring the entire screen is cleaned each cycle. The process takes a matter of seconds, without interruption of system flow.
