Trouble Shooting Guideline
This guide is designed to help trouble shoot some of the most common problems that may a
rise when using a filter / strainer. For additional information contact Dixon Sanitary
Issue Potential Reason Possible Solution
Length of mesh
screen split
Pump pulsation is causing the mesh screen
to stretch and fold along the length
causing fatigue and ultimately failure
Dampen pulsations, or use a
different type pump
Mesh screen
blown out
Backflushing through mesh screen. Fine
wire mesh screens encompass the O.D. of
back up tube providing support in one
direction only. That support is lost when
flow is reversed regardless of the duration.
Protect the system from
backflushing with the installation
of a Bradford™ check valve
Mesh screens
have holes or
filter bags are
torn
Differential pressures too high Stop and clean mesh screen or
change media at 10 psi Δ P.
Filter bag
blown
completely
through
One of two scenarios has occurred; the
filter bag is not closely fitted to the back up
tube or a momentary backflow has pushed
the filter bag away from the back up tube.
See the manufactures filter bag
replacement procedure. Install
Bradford™ check valves or
pressure relief devises as
necessary.
Mesh screen
folded or
crushed
Backflushing through the screen. Fine wire
mesh screens, are wrapped around the O.D.
of the back up tube providing support for
the designed flow direction. No such
support exists to protect the mesh screen in
a reverse flow, regardless of the length of
time the reverse flow spike exists.
Protect the system from
backflushing with the installation
of a Bradford™ check valve
The bottom of
the mesh
screen has
damaged mesh
wires.
The end cap is missing or not installed
properly. For finer mesh screens this end
cap supports the mesh against the back up
tube, providing support should the system
see differential pressure due to clogging. In
some cases the end cap is not installed or is
installed upside down allowing the screen
to fatigue under strain and ultimately give
way to pressure.
Install end cap correctly as
described in the Full Flow
maintenance and installation
