The RF300 self-cleaning filters and strainers attach to the suction intake of surface mounted pumps. The self-cleaning filter uses a continuous backwash to clean as water is pumped, preventing the intake screen from blocking.
The R300 is a tough stainless steel intake filter that protects pumps and other connected equipment form blocking and blinding.
It can be fitted with tough nylon or stainless steel filter mesh and can filter from 60 microns to 6 mm. The RF300AR can handle up to 560 litres per minute.
The filter self-cleans whenever your pump is in operation and provides a very efficient low maintenance solution to pumping water contaminated with suspended solids.

Description
RF300 Self-cleaning Filters and Strainers
The Rotorflush RF300 self-cleaning filters and strainers are a mid-range filter, offering up to 150 US GPM or 560 litres a minute. They are tough, versatile, easy to install and require minimal maintenance. They are used across a wide range of industries for all kinds of dirty water filtration.
RF300 self-cleaning filters and intake strainers provide protection against blockage for surface mounted pumps and other connected equipment. These filters can be fitted with coarse stainless-steel filter mesh (1 mm – 6 mm), or finer sintered stainless-steel mesh screens.
When these filters are fitted with 2 mm woven stainless-steel mesh, the maximum flow rate that will comply with current regulations for Eel protection – at an intake velocity of 0.1 metres a second – is 432 litres a minute. The maximum flow rate for EPA Rule 316 (b) intake velocities of 0.5 ft per second is 648 litres a minute (170 US GPM).
Their stainless-steel filter cages make them very strong, long-lasting, low maintenance strainers, requiring only the occasional jet wash or filter change (if using nylon mesh) to keep them running.
All our filters use a proportion of your surface mounted pump’s output to supply a feed to an internal back-washing rotor. This supply is taken off the already filtered pump output. The jets of the cleaning rotor inside the filter rotate at about 60 rpm, clearing the whole screen every ½ second. As the cleaning mechanism is on the filtered side of the screen, debris in the water will not obstruct the mechanism.
Approximately 16% of the pump output is required to supply the cleaning rotor.
For larger capacities, our RF400 self-cleaning filters deliver up to 1000 litres per minute, and we can custom-build larger self-cleaning filters to your specifications. All our filters and strainers use the same patented technology, providing efficient self-cleaning backwash to keep their filter mesh clear for a range of flow rates.
