Forsta Filters Announces Self-Cleaning Screen Filters in Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP)*











Forsta Filters’ exciting new FRP Series offers an ideal solution for corrosion resistance
in brackish, brine and seawater filtration applications. All wetted components of the
FRP Series self-cleaning filters are constructed from seawater-resistant plastic and
other high alloy materials, making it the only one of its kind. The FRP Series filters can
withstand pressures up to 150 psi and feature all the same great benefits of Forsta
Filters’ stainless steel self-cleaning water filters.

Forsta’s FRP Series self-cleaning water filters are available with an on-line, or in-line
flange configuration to accommodate simple installation, and easily integrate with any
pipeline. A two-stage screening process distinguishes the FRP Series filters. A coarse
screen is responsible for straining out large debris from the water source, and the fine
screen purifies water to the designated micron rating. As with all Forsta self-cleaning
filters, the FRP filter’s short backwash cycle never interrupts the main system flow.

Filter Characteristics:

• Flow Rate: 15-20,000 gpm
• Flush cycle duration: 6 - 12 seconds
• Flush valve size: single 1” or a single 2”
• Screen opening: 5μ - 4000μ
• Temperature: 210ºF
• Flush Volume: 2- 50 gallons per backwash
• Working pressure: 35- 150 psi
