How a Bypass Pleated Filter Feeder Works
A bypass pleated filter feeder is installed on a bypass loop connected to a closed-loop water system. As water flows through the vessel, contaminants are captured by the pleated filter cartridge while treatment chemicals can be introduced directly into the feeder.
This process helps maintain cleaner system water, supports corrosion prevention programs, and reduces the accumulation of debris that can negatively affect pumps, valves, and heat exchangers.
