Water Jetting Pump Protection

An area where pre-filtration is required is in high-pressure water jetting applications, used predominantly for cleaning and cutting.

Typically using plunger type reciprocating pumps to produce the very high pressures required (400-3000 bar), an ingress of solids to this type of pump will cause damage and lack of efficiency. The pumps are often pre-filtered to 5 or 1 micron, typically with bag or depth cartridges.
