Keeping Fountains and Water Features Flowing
Rotorflush Filters Ltd produce self-cleaning filtration and screening products designed to screen and filter out debris, weed and detritus from water while it is being pumped. Intakes, pumps, pipes, nozzles and jets are protected from blocking and clogging. Owners and users enjoy far less frequent maintenance and more quality water time.
Products for Fountains and Water Features
We manufacture and supply self-cleaning intake filters and strainers that fit to the suction intake pipes of surface mounted pumps. The strainers are mechanical, driven by water, and are designed to clean the intake screen or mesh whenever your pump is running.
We also manufacture and supply ranges of submersible pumps with built-in self-cleaning suction intake screens and filters. Their intake screens are continuously backwashed as they pump, providing a continuous supply of screened water to your equipment.
Our products deliver water from 30 litres a minute up to 450 litres a second - we can cater for all flow rates in between, theres a Rotorflush for you.
Municipal Parks and Public Spaces
As larger fountain pumps are now more common, particularly for public and municipal water features and fountain displays, high volume self-cleaning intake strainers are in demand. Any water feature equipment susceptible to blockage by litter, wildlife and other debris will benefit from the use of our self-cleaning filters.
Our stainless steel self-cleaning fountain pump filters are robust and powerful. They are ideal for larger water features powering impressive fountains without the usual ongoing maintenance needs. The filters stay clear while preventing pumps, pipes and fountains from blocking. The backwash is continuous and does not interrupt the flow of filtered water to your fountain equipment.
Rotorflush uniquely manufacture and supply submersible pumps with integral self-cleaning intakes. This allows high pressure, centrifugal pumping in difficult water conditions. Pumping and screening are combined. The award-winning Rotorflush Self-cleaning intake keeps the intake screen, pump, and most importantly fountainheads free from debris and blockage.

Maintaining Filters & Pumps
Even the most efficient filtration and pumping equipment needs maintenance. Maintenance is expensive and tiresome, and fountains and water features particularly need to be kept in good order to work well.
Staff members responsible for maintaining fountains will spend time on tasks such as cleaning, inspecting, and troubleshooting fountain equipment. This time commitment can vary depending on the complexity of the fountain and the frequency of maintenance required.
Overall, while it's difficult to provide an exact figure, municipalities and businesses typically allocate a portion of their budget for fountain maintenance, recognizing it as a necessary expense to ensure the ongoing functionality and aesthetic appeal of public spaces and commercial premises. Depending on the size and complexity of the fountain, as well as local environmental factors, the total annual expenditure on maintenance can range from several thousand to tens of thousands of pounds or more.
Rotorflush self-cleaning suction intake filters and screens are designed to minimise maintenance and reduce downtime. Maintenance planning is more targeted. More efficient filtration extends the life of equipment and allows additional water quality management - for example, UV systems - to operate more efficiently. All of which benefits your bottom line.
Home and Garden
Rotorflush self-cleaning water filters are ideal for fountains and water features in larger gardens.
Our ranges of self-cleaning strainers and filterpumps have been developed from one of our earliest products - a small self-cleaning filter for fitting to pond pumps. This filter greatly reduced maintenance and prevented the damage to wildlife that often happened with standard water feature pumps and screens.
We now produce self-cleaning strainers and filters for use with surface mounted pumps that can filter volumes from 30 litres a minute upwards to 1000s of litres a minute.
Our ranges of submersible pumps with built-in self-cleaning intakes are ideal for aeration and the higher pressure filterpumps have sufficient power for fountains. We can provide them with floats and fountain heads if required.
Wildlife Friendly
Our self-cleaning filter products are very kind to aquatic life. Unlike some products that self-clean at intervals with a sudden and destructive blast of water or compressed air, our filters provide a gentle, effective and continuous backwash that removes aquatic life away from filter screens without harming them.
Ponds and lakes benefit from fountains and waterfalls as these aerate the water, which is beneficial to fish and wildlife. Unfortunately, the wildlife, blanket weed, stringy algae, and general detritus can block the pumps and fountain nozzles. This not only leads to frequent maintenance of equipment, but can send pond creatures, such as tadpoles, newts and small fish, to an untimely death after being sucked into pumps and pipes. This rather defeats the object of aerating the pond for the benefit of aquatic life if it is killed by the aeration equipment itself.
Rotorflush offer the only self-cleaning strainers and submersible filterpumps that overcome the problems of blocked pumps and fountains, as well protecting tadpoles, fish and other pond wildlife.
Eel Friendly
Do you draw water from a pond, lake or river? Rotorflush self-cleaning filters are Eel friendly - our products can help with your compliance to the European Commission’s Eel Recovery Plan (Council Regulation No.1100/2007) and The Eel Regulations for England and Wales.
