Strainers & Filtration

Hayward Y-Strainers protect piping system components from damage caused by dirt or debris in process media. They cost less than other types of strainers and are light-weight and very compact. Hayward Y-Strainers are supplied with a 1/32” perforated plastic screen. Screens fabricated from type 316 stainless steel are also available in openings from 1/2” down to super fine 325 mesh. All screens have an open area at least twice that of the equivalent pipe size cross-sectional area to minimize pressure drop.  All sizes of Hayward Y-Strainers feature a heavy-duty hex cap that permits easy removal of the screen when clean-out is necessary.
Features-  • Rated for 150 psi @ 70°F (non-shock)   • Standard 1/32” plastic perforated screen   • Available with EPDM or FPM seals   • Can be used horizontal or vertical   • Flanged models available on request

Penguin in-tank filter chambers allow for depth filtration completely limited to inside the tank. Thus, there is no possibility of solution loss. These filter chambers are completely constructed of CPVC, including the rugged mounting bracket. Five sizes include single cartridge and three cartridge vessels in 10", 20", and 30" cartridge lengths. These chambers incorporate all the unique construction advantages of our style 3C and 6C chambers. The cartridge compressor design in the style 3C chambers and the double labyrinth o-ring sealing, along with the long-sleeved flanges on the top of style 6C, are also incorporated into our series CN chambers.

Cartridge Count: 3CN - 1, 6CN - 3 

The most economical of filter chambers, this single-cartridge unit will accommodate 6", 10", 20" or 30" length cartridges. The 10" cartridge may not be stacked inside the 20" or 30" chamber because there is no center rod. Because of the unique cartridge compressor design, this chamber can accept a cartridge length variance of 1/4" without any liquid bypass. Completely constructed of CPVC, polypropylene or PVDF with Viton® elastomers. A base is included for surface mounting of the chamber. This chamber can accept double open end, single open end with internal #020 o-ring, or double open end with #120 o-ring each end.

Cartridge Count: 3C - 1

Big Blue® Housings are manufactured of reinforced FDA grade polypropylene in both 10" and 20" lengths.

Standard 3/4” NPT housings are manufactured of reinforced polypropylene, FDA-grade plastic, and lightweight also makes them preferred in residential and commercial uses. Their polypropylene construction has excellent chemical resistance for use with most acids, alcohol, ammonia, oils, plating solutions, beverages and water. Housings without pressure relief buttons are recommended for industrial/chemical applications. #10 Clear Standard Filter Housings Housing bodies are made of clear Styrene-Acrilonitrile (SAN) which has been stress relieved for added clarity and strength. Clear bodies allow for visual inspection of cartridge performance and life. The SAN/polypropylene construction combination has excellent chemical  compatibility.
