Disc Filters or Screen Filters for Sabah Water Systems

Screens retain particles on a mesh surface, while disc stacks provide a layered filtration path. Compare both at a grade appropriate to the protected equipment.

How it applies to the water system

Organic or fibrous debris, grit loading, flow and cleaning access influence the choice. Neither technology is the best option for every water source.

Selection and operating considerations

Review model-specific pressure loss and cleaning requirements. A coarse upstream separator or media stage may be useful where the raw water would otherwise overload either filter.

Planning the requirement in Sabah

For irrigation intakes, hotel landscape systems or industrial pretreatment in Sabah, the source and downstream equipment define the filtration duty. Include normal and peak flow, the existing pump arrangement and access to a cleaning-water supply in the project brief.

Information to prepare

What should I send SWFI for this requirement in Sabah?

Send the site location, source-water information, operating flow and pressure, and the equipment model or photographs where available. SWFI is based in Kota Kinabalu and can review the requested supply or service scope against the site duty.

Discuss your water-system requirement with SWFI
