- SIM/TECH STF-100 Pressure Filter (STF-100-FILTER)
This is the version sold 99% of the time. It is also known as the "field assemble" version. It has 2" solvent weld inlet and outlet ports. This version allows the filter to be custom fit to the system as we recommend that the filter be installed as high in the tank as possible to make maintenance easier.
-
Protects pressurized systems from costly repairs

How the Sim/Tech Pressure Filter Works
The Sim/Tech pressure filter is extremely effective in providing protection for all pressurized distribution systems. If you need to protect a pressurized system from suspended solids, the pressure filter can perform the job. Most pressurized wastewater distribution systems such as mound systems are very effective in treating effluent. In pressurized systems the effluent or gray water is pumped from the holding or pump chamber of the septic system out to the drain field by a low pressure effluent pump. The drain field is where the problems show up. The lateral piping in the drain field has many small holes to drain the effluent. These holes can be as small as 1/8", as you might imagine it doesn't take a lot of contaminants to plug the drain holes. With each hole that becomes plugged the efficiency of the pressure distribution system falls, until the system eventually fails. Many of these systems only partially fail over a long period of time, causing contamination of ground water long before the system shows any visible signs of distress. Placing an effluent filter just before entering the forced main of the pressurized septic system is an extremely effective solution. The pressure filter is mounted onto the discharge port of any effluent pump, thereby, filtering out contaminants before they enter the distribution system or drain field. The SIM/TECH STF-100A2 effluent filter has been designed to assure that the small holes in the distribution piping remain unclogged. The filter system is unique to the industry, engineered to provide maximum protection for your sanitary pressure system.
Reliability
Because the pressure filter is installed on the pressure side of the effluent pump, it is difficult for the internal filter mechanism to become clogged. The inherent design of effluent pumps create an on-and-off scrubbing action caused by shock waves as the effluent pump works. This scrubbing action is strongest near the pump, this is why the filter is attached directly to the pressure side of the effluent pump. The high flow rates and low pressure loss of the pressure filter are achieved by a large filter area with over 40% of the filter screen being open. The pressure filter handles flows over 80 gallons per minute, so even a partially contaminated wastewater filter will keep virtually any pressurized distribution system functioning properly.
The pressure filter assembly is installed and serviced in a matter of minutes, making this product unique to the industry. The pressure filter easily threads onto the discharge port of any effluent pump. On the occasion when a filter does need cleaning, it can be removed easily, washed clean of debris and contaminants then reinstalled in the pressure filter assembly. The entire process takes only minutes.
The pressure filter, with it's unique design and mounting location, allows the filtering screen to be scrubbed while in operation, providing maximum maintenance intervals with unmatched performance capabilities.
The filter screen is a type 316L stainless steel with .062" diameter holes. The filter cartridge is 3 inches in diameter and 18 inches long with a 69.52 square inch open area. This large 41% open area allows the filter to pass 83.8 gallons per minute at 1 psi. With features like these even a partially clogged screen will keep the system well protected and working properly. This performance product assures quality effluent with lower TSS levels, keeping your pressurized distribution system functioning at 100% efficiency. Optional filter socks are available for use with the screen to filter down to 600, 190, or 100 microns (.024”, .007”, .004”). The pressure filter protects any pressurized distribution system including Sanitary Mound Systems, Sand Filters, Spray Irrigation Systems, Drip Systems, Pressurized Chambered Systems, Commercial Pressurized Systems or any Pump Septic System, Wastewater Treatment Systems or Residential Pressurized Systems. The pressure filter should be used as a safe guard component in all pressurized septic systems.
