The best way to keep your pool, spa, fountain or pond water supply clean is to remove as much debris

1
Introduction

• The best way to keep your pool, spa, fountain or
  pond water supply clean is to remove as much
  debris as fast as possible.
• Most non integral commercially available strainer
  pots have a high profile, limited capacity, and
  interrupt the natural flow path of the water.
• ProStrainer is the first and most dynamic
  solution to straining debris from the water, thus
  providing maximum protection to the pump, which
  is the heart of the recirculation system.

ProFlo Inc. Proudly Presents "ProStrainer"
So superior its in a class by itself !!
3
Interrupted Flow Path
All "Pot Strainer's" Have the Same Age Old
Problem!
A
B

• A shows short cycle loading of a typical pot
  strainer.
• B shows both short cycle loading and the
  introduction of turbulent flow into the pump
  volute.

4
Finally! The ProFlo Concept
Horizontal Laminar Flow

• Revolutionary new HLF (horizontal laminar flow)
  strainer patent pending
• Up to 400 greater open area ratios than
  competitors to create the most efficient and cost
  saving strainer in the world

5
Even flow distribution
More available open area

• Even flow distribution promotes efficient pumping
  conditions

6
Why ProStrainer is better
Improved NPSH

• Most 6 pot strainers have a center-line
  face-piping elevation of 14 to 16 from the
  floor.

• ProStrainer has a center-line face-piping
  elevation of 6 from the floor which improves
  NPSH available

7
Lowest profile creates industrys highest net
positive suction head
Why ProStrainer is better

• ProStrainers compact design allows retrofitting
  of almost any existing strainer
• Built on mounting bar allows for fast stable
  mounting and perfect pump alignment

8
Energy Savings
Lower mounting position increases suction
pressure, reduces costs

• Increase suction pressure
• Reduce total head for same flow rate reduces
  energy cost
• Easy maintenance

9
Energy Savings
Lower mounting increases suction pressure
10
Basket Design
Why it's better

• Every pot strainer in the industry has a single
  basket perpendicular to the flow path.

• ProStrainer utilizes multiple horizontally
  mounted baskets which eliminates fluid entry
  resistance.

11
Greatest basket open area ratio
Why it's better

• Open area ratio is the area of the influent pipe
  cross section compared to the total area of all
  the baskets holes.
• 1 - represents the area of a 4 pipe
• 11 - represents the open area of the best pot
  strainer baskets
• 58 - represents the open area of ProStrainers
  baskets.

12
More Models - Industrial Grade
Why it's better

• ProStrainers are available in a large variety of
  sizes and holding capacities to fit any
  application

13
Industrial Grade Features
Why it's better
Our standard industrial grade offers

• Swing bolt latching

• Triplex baskets

• Heavy duty glazing

14
Why it's better
Duel Influent

• No strainer in the industry offers direct duel
  influent flanged connections.

• This allows for a simple and easy way to connect
  a multiple skimmer system and main drain.

15
Duel Effluent with Direct Connect
Why it's better

• Direct connect multiple pumps to the same
  strainer for fountains and water features that
  share common water
• This concept allows for far more efficient pump
  sizing and reduces cost

16
Direct Connect
Why it's better

• ProStrainers body has a horizontal design
• Any pump specified can be directly connected to
  the effluent end of the strainer body
• Extremely low profile of ProStrainerTM (6 from
  floor to center of volute) this maximizes overall
  NPSH available
• Reduces the risk of air entrainment
• Provides more compact installation

17
Bolt Up Series
Why it's better

• Standard ANSI flange bolt pattern with
  pre-mounted internal nuts
• Two standard models
• BU 600 (up to 600 GPM) BU 1900 (500 1900 GPM)
• New design allows for field installation
  flexibility
• Savvy contractors can solves space restriction
  problems

18
Bolt Up with Glue and Go
Why it's better

• Standard ANSI PVC flange (sold separately)
  connects directly to the strainer body
• Contractor has a large variety of installation
  options available to him in the field
• PVC influent isolation valve can be installed in
  minutes using a spigot flange

19
Bolt Up with Glue and Go
Why it's better

• Adapt ProStrainer to the proper system pipe size
  by simply bushing up or down Glue and Go !!
• Eccentric reducers can be added to the effluent
  end to make an easily compatible pump volute
  connection
• Bell reducer or increaser can be installed on
  both influent or effluent to maintain center line
  piping configuration

20
Easy Clean System
Why it's better

• Full view lid eliminates the how full dilemma
• Lid can be removed in about 5 seconds
• Lid has intergraded sure grip handles
• Lid clamps stay in place and are pressure
  adjustable
• Baskets only hold part of the total load making
  them lighter and easier to clean
• Internal flush and drain plug for through cleaning

21
Energy Savings
Lower operating costs

• Lower pressure drop saves energy

22
Energy Savings
Lower operating costs, based on 0.07 per kWh
23
Energy Savings
Increased time between plugging intervals

• Lower pressure drop saves energy

24
Protection from large debris
Actual pump performance with plastic bag
obstructing the strainers

• Maintains performance
• No cavitation
• No vibration
• No wear
• Low flow on OEM strainer reduces filtration
  capacity
