How a Filter Feeder Works
A filter feeder is installed on a bypass loop connected to a closed-loop water system. Water flows through the vessel where suspended solids and contaminants are captured by the filter media. At the same time, treatment chemicals can be added directly into the feeder, allowing filtration and chemical treatment to occur simultaneously.
This dual-purpose design helps maintain cleaner water, improve system efficiency, and support long-term equipment protection.
