Spin Flow screen filters offer the benefits of a vortex action spin flow with the advantages of a woven mesh screen filter. Water enters the screen housing tangentially, vortexing the flow—a technique that separates heavy particulate away from the fine mesh cartridge. This method of separation simplifies and reduces cartridge cleaning. Heavy sediment is flushed from the filter through a conveniently located flush port, while the finer contaminant is trapped on the fine screen cartridge.
