The irrigation pump station shown above had a carbon steel filter whose epoxy coating issues were becoming a serious problem. The equipment specialist described the situation saying,

“I’ve seen many of these filters with patches welded on them and varying degrees of rusting problems. [At this install] the packing area of the shaft was worn and would no longer make an effective seal. The screen was compromised, allowing debris to get into the irrigation system and clog the heads. The parts just to get this filter running had long lead times and were not cost-effective versus replacing with a new [stainless steel] Forsta model.

“The custom Forsta fits great. Without the ability to order a custom filter, we would have had a difficult time fitting a different filter in this application, as a lot of piping would have needed to be modified.”

Forsta Filters models (180 Series, 180C Series, 90 Series, Coarse Strainer Series, LP180 Series) are fully customizable to fit existing pipelines/replace old filter models:
