Key Benefits
What this system helps you achieve
Automatic backwash
A short automatic cleaning cycle flushes trapped particulate without opening the filter housing.
High-throughput supply
The 6.5 m³/h clean-water flow supports multiple outlets and point-of-entry use.
Visible operating status
A pressure gauge and viewing window support quick condition monitoring at the installation point.
Application Fit
Is it suitable for your site?
Best for
- Apartments, villas and light-commercial point-of-entry lines
- Commercial kitchens requiring sediment pre-treatment
- Pre-filtration before softeners, RO systems and fine cartridges
- Municipal tap-water supplies affected by sand, silt or rust particles
Check before ordering
- Confirm the incoming-water source and sediment condition
- Operating pressure must remain within 0.1–1.0 MPa
- Allow space for the 124 × 109 × 323 mm unit
- Provide compatible inlet/outlet connections and a backwash drain route

Why This Model
When the C500 automatic pre-filter makes sense
A compact point-of-entry choice when the immediate problem is visible sediment and the site needs high flow with less manual cleaning.
1
High-flow first-stage protection
6.5 m³/h flow supports whole-line pre-filtration before fixtures and treatment equipment.
2
Automatic cleaning cycle
Backwashing helps discharge captured sediment without dismantling a cartridge housing.
3
Useful before finer treatment
Removing larger particles can help protect softeners, RO systems and fine filtration stages downstream.
Process
From water check to
From water check to
ongoing support
Identify sediment issue
Review the water source, visible particles and downstream equipment.
Verify installation
Check pressure, flow, connection size, footprint and drain access.
Install at point of entry
Position the filter before downstream treatment and sensitive fixtures.
Monitor operation
Check the gauge, viewing window and backwash discharge.
Customer Confidence
Built for commercial operations teams
Whole-line protection
Captures larger sediment before it reaches multiple fixtures and systems.
Application-specific fit
Selection is based on sediment type, flow, pressure and installation point.
Low-upkeep operation
Automatic backwashing reduces routine manual filter cleaning.
Pricing depends on plumbing size, installation scope, drain access and site location. A point-of-entry fitment check is completed before quotation.
No. It is a sediment pre-filter. TDS reduction requires RO, while hardness reduction requires a correctly sized softener.
The installation needs a suitable drain route for the automatic backwash discharge. The developer or installer should confirm local plumbing requirements.
The current product information identifies municipal tap water as the incoming-water application. Other sources should be assessed before selection.
Monitor the pressure gauge, viewing window and drain discharge, and ensure the automatic backwash cycle operates correctly.
