Features

Capacities of 4 to 8300 gpm
Simple installation (no electrical power required)
Efficient pre-filter to reduce sand load on downstream components
Rain Bird Centrifugal Sand Separators are designed to separate abrasive particles before they can enter the irrigation system, keeping equipment clean and clear of debris, which minimizes the amount of maintenance required and increases operational efficiency
The separator removes sand and particles that are heavier than water (materials with a specific gravity of 2 or greater)
How It Works
Liquids and solids enter the unit and begin traveling in a circular flow. This centrifugal action throws heavier particulates towards the filter walls and eventually downward in a spiral motion to the separation chamber. The particulates collect in the separation chamber and are purged manually from the system. The filtered water is then drawn to the separator’s vortex and through the outlet
An optional automatic purge controller and valve can be used on all applications to automate the purge process, which eliminates the need for manual flushing. Small vertical design separators may be wall mounted or supported by the system piping

    Available with 100, 130, 200 or 400 micron discs (specify when ordering)
    Rain Bird HDF Series 1X2 filter backwash
    FILTRATION STAGE: As water goes through the discs, particles are projected away due to the cyclone effect, reducing the backflushing frequency  
    BACKFLUSHING STAGE: Water is projected through the discs, expelling the retained particles and evacuating them through the drainage manifold while the rest of the equipment is still in the filtration stage, supplying the remaining installation
    Rain Bird HDF Series-2 systems backwashes one station at a time while the remaining elements continue filtering
    FILTRATION STAGE: As water goes through the discs, particles are projected away and kept in suspension due to the cyclone effect, reducing the backflushing frequency  
    BACKFLUSHING STAGE: Water is projected through the discs, expelling the retained particles and evacuating them through the drainage manifold. The rest of the filters battery continue filtering. The filtration process restarts when the discs recompress. The backflush process is controlled by the Rain Bird Control Unit

    Galvanized, Self-Cleaning Pump Suction Screen removes large trash and debris from water sources, saving time and money in energy, pumping efficiency and maintenance costs  
    All water must pass through the pump suction screen attached to the end of the pump suction line before entering the pump intake pipe. A small, side-stream from the pump discharge plumbing drives two spray bars that continually rotate, jetting water at the screen and blasting debris away  
    Heavy 12 mesh stainless steel screen increases your pump efficiency for many years to come
