LF-Series Sand Media Filters: Precision Filtration for Low-Flow Applications

Industrial-Grade Filtration for Low-Flow Systems


When precision matters and flow rates are low, filtration performance is often the first thing to suffer. The LF-Series Sand Media Filters are designed specifically for low-flow irrigation and water treatment projects that need dependable, high-quality filtration where plastic disc filters fall short.


Constructed from 11-gauge 304 stainless steel, these compact yet robust systems bring the same reliability found in full-scale industrial filters to small-scale operations, without compromising performance or durability.


Engineered for Performance & Longevity


The LF-Series is built around rugged simplicity. Each tank features:


  • Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel Construction: 11-gauge 304SS shells & 3-leg supports ensure long life in demanding environments.


  • 304SS Wedge Wire Underdrains: Fully welded & PVC-free for consistent backwash & even flow distribution.


  • Compact, Space-Saving Design: Side-mounted threaded fill ports & small tank diameters make installation easy in tight mechanical rooms, pump stations, & greenhouse setups.


  • Flexible Backwash Options: Choose from manual, semi-automatic, or fully automatic configurations for optimal system control & efficiency.

Why Choose the LF-Series for Low-Flow Applications


  • Designed for Low-Flow Filtration: Perfect for greenhouses, orchards, vineyards, drip irrigation, & specialty crops.


  • All-Stainless Durability: Built from 304 stainless steel, scaled down, not watered down.


  • Zero Plastic Construction: No PVC, no false bottoms, just precision-engineered stainless performance.


  • Compact Footprint: Fits where larger filters can’t, without sacrificing flow integrity or filter capacity.


  • Customizable Configurations: Manual, semi-auto, or fully automatic backwash options to match your control system.


Ideal Industry & Project Applications


The LF-Series is the go-to filtration solution for projects that demand precision, reliability, and compact design, including:


1. Greenhouse Irrigation Systems

Maintain consistent emitter performance with clean, sediment-free water for sensitive crops and hydroponic setups.


2. Drip & Micro-Irrigation Networks

Prevent emitter clogging and ensure even water distribution across low-flow drip lines and micro-sprayers.


3. Orchards & Vineyards

Protect irrigation systems in permanent crop installations with reliable filtration that withstands seasonal variation and organic debris.


4. Water Reuse & Reclamation Projects

Ideal for compact greywater or condensate reuse systems where space and flow rates are limited but reliability is critical.


5. Industrial Low-Flow Filtration Systems

Support laboratory, cooling loop, or process water systems that require rugged, corrosion-resistant filtration at lower flow volumes.


Compact Size, Big Performance


Don’t let the “low-flow” label fool you. The LF-Series delivers industrial-grade results in a smaller footprint, bringing precision sand media filtration to specialized systems that can’t accommodate traditional full-size tanks.


With 316 stainless steel options available upon request, the LF-Series adapts to corrosive environments and diverse water qualities, ensuring long-term, worry-free performance.


Built for Low-Flow Success


When precision filtration and durability are non-negotiable, the LF-Series Sand Media Filters set the standard for low-flow irrigation and water treatment. Built tough, designed smart, and engineered to perform, these filters are the professional’s choice for reliable water quality in compact systems.
