FILTRATION

APOLLO
DISC-KLEEN FILTER

HIGH PERFORMANCE, RELIABLE, COST EFFECTIVE FILTRATION SOLUTION

FILTER MORE FOR LESS


The Apollo Automatic Disc-Kleen Filter allows you to filter more for less. It has all the
benefits of the Galaxy Filter - which has been used by growers successfully and reliably
for 10 years - but with these enhanced features.

SAVE MONEY BY REDUCING FILTER SIZE


MORE FILTER AREA

The Apollo features a longer filter element (spine) with larger discs (rings) producing
a 20% larger filtration area than a comparable Galaxy filter. This larger filtration area
means each filter unit can accommodate a higher flow rate which lowers the price per
GPM of filtered water. The total number of filter units required for a specific flow rate is
reduced lowering the cost of the filter battery.

SAVE MONEY BY REDUCING PUMP SIZE & ENERGY COSTS


LESS PRESSURE REQUIRED FOR CLEANING

Only 30 psi is required for backflushing. This lower pressure requirement eliminates the
need to oversize the pump for adequate flushing. It reduces the need for a Pressure
Sustaining Normally Open (PSNO) Valve downstream of the filter to maintain adequate
backflush pressure. A lower backflush pressure saves energy costs.

SAVE TIME & MONEY WHEN FILTER NEEDS MOVING


MORE PORTABLE

The Apollo filter is light-weight with a small footprint making it easy to move. This
portability is ideal for crop rotations and rental units in row crop applications.

SAVE MONEY ON MAINTENANCE COSTS OVER THE LIFE


OF THE FILTER
MORE CHEMICAL RESISTANCE

Made from high density synthetic materials, the Apollo filter is corrosion-proof not just
corrosion resistant. Chemical injection upstream of the filter unit will not damage any
filter components.

SAVE TIME & MONEY WITH THIS PRE-ASSEMBLED FILTER


LESS INSTALLATION COSTS

The Apollo filter arrives fully assembled for a quick and easy water in/water out
installation. A small footprint reduces the size and cost of the concrete pad.

ADVANCED DISC
FILTRATION TECHNOLOGY
Disc filters fall into the category of depth filtration filters because they add an additional
dimension to the cleaning process. A filter element contains a stack of compressed discs
with an overlapping series of grooves that force the debris to move through numerous trap
points. This process increases the likelihood of capturing debris. Because of the increase
in filtration surface area, the frequency of cleaning drops and cleaning is easier.
FILTRATION PROCESS
During the filtration process, the discs are
tightly compressed together allowing clean
water to pass through the discs and trap
debris.
BACKFLUSH PROCESS
As debris in a filter increases, the backflush
process is initiated. The discs separate and
jets of clean water spray and spin the discs
removing the trapped debris which is then
flushed out.

IMPROVED FILTER SPINE

GALAXY

With a longer spine assembly and


larger discs, the Apollo Disc-Kleen
Filter has a 20% larger filtration area
than a comparable Galaxy filter. The
Apollo features a redesigned piston
which allows backflushing at a lower
pressure, 30 psi - 25% lower than a
Galaxy.

EASIER ACCESS TO THE DISCS

The Apollo filter includes an easy-to-release clamp around each filter unit. No tools are
required to remove the filter cover and access the discs. This makes maintenance and
troubleshooting quick and simple.

GREATER BENEFITS THAN


SAND MEDIA FILTERS
Netafims Apollo Disc-Kleen Filter and Sand Media Filters both provide quality
depth filtration which ensures maximum protection of your irrigation system
with surface or well water. The Apollo Filter matches the Sand Media Filter
with PERFORMANCE, RELIABILITY and LONGEVITY. However, the Apollo offers
numerous benefits not available with Sand Media Filters.

PORTABLE & EASY TO MOVE

Apollo filter can be mounted on a small, inexpensive utility trailer and easily moved
from field to field.
Sand Media filters are bulky and heavy and require a larger, more expensive heavyduty trailer to move.

LESS OVERALL WATER USED FOR FLUSHING

The Apollo filter may flush more frequently than Sand Media filters, but will use
45% less water overall.
Shorter overall flush cycle ensures better uniformity of irrigation.
There is less flush water to dispose of or filter for reuse.

ELIMINATES LEAKS AND RUSTING

The Apollo is made from high density synthetic materials that:


Are not damaged by chemical injection or organic materials in the water.
Will not corrode.
STAINLESS STEEL SAND
MEDIA FILTERS are sensitive
to chlorine and bacteria in the
water and can develop pin holes.

STAINLESS STEEL SAND


MEDIA FILTERS can rust
and leak at the seam and
