When it comes to irrigation and water treatment, low-flow doesn’t mean low-stakes. Precision is everything, especially in high-value Ag environments like greenhouses, orchards, and specialty crop operations. That’s where the LF-Series Low-Flow Sand Media Filters step in: compact, stainless steel workhorses built to outperform conventional disc filters in systems that can’t afford failure.
Built for the Jobs Plastic Filters Can’t Handle
Let’s face it, plastic disc filters often fall short when the demands get serious. The LF-Series was engineered specifically for those niche applications where reliability, longevity, and filtration performance aren’t optional; they’re essential.
Each unit is built from 11-gauge 304 stainless steel, delivering the same industrial-grade quality you’d expect from larger filtration systems, just scaled down for low-flow use. Whether you're managing a drip irrigation network or a greenhouse with tight flow tolerances, these filters provide the muscle to keep your system running clean and efficiently.
Strength Where It Counts: Inside & Out
What sets the LF-Series apart is what’s under the hood. Rather than relying on plastic internals or false bottoms, every filter features all-welded 304 stainless steel wedge wire underdrains, no PVC, no compromises. That means greater durability, less maintenance, and consistent filtration performance season after season.
The smart, space-conscious design also includes a compact 3-leg frame and a side-mounted media fill port, making installation and servicing easier even in tight quarters. Whether you’re upgrading an existing setup or designing a new low-flow system from scratch, the LF-Series offers a footprint that fits, without skimping on performance.
Manual or Automatic: You Decide
Flexibility is key in low-flow environments. That’s why the LF-Series gives you the choice between manual and automatic backwash options, so you can tailor the system to match your maintenance style and operational needs.
Manual backwash is ideal for operations that prefer hands-on control, while the automatic option takes the guesswork out of the equation, keeping your filtration system optimized without constant attention.
