ABW-Series™

Automatic backwashing screen water filters.

Two plumbing components are shown. On the left is a brass water filter with a transparent section and a pressure gauge on top, ideal for chemical-free water treatment. On the right is a blue valve equipped with UV Guard Water Disinfection, featuring two pressure gauges and a lever below. Both are set against a plain background.

Product Information

The ABW-Series is a range of reverse rinsing or automatic back wash screen filters that ensure a continuous supply of filtered water. The fine screen filters prevent foreign matter such as iron and suspended solids from passing. This protects pipes and infrastructure by reducing corrosion and sediment build-up. Additionally, these automatic backwashing filters are ideal for UV disinfection system pre-treatment.

Hands covered in soap lather under a running faucet, beneath a UV Guard Water Disinfection system. Water flows from a shiny metal tap, creating bubbles as it contacts the soapy hands. The scene suggests chemical-free water treatment for optimal cleanliness and hygiene.
