Filtering Water with the Balston LP-20 Water Filter

Dirt and rust in the hot or cold water supply to washersterilizers leave deposits and stains on valuable instruments and sterilizers. In most hospitals, the cleanliness of the water depends upon the efficiency of the municipal water treatment system. Excessive dirt in the water can be an intermittent problem caused by a drought, a fire in the neighborhood, water main problems, or scores of other random events well beyond the control of the hospital engineers. This unpredictable, expensive problem can be permanently solved by installing an inexpensive and easily maintained Balston LP Grade 20 water filter on the water line to the washer-sterilizer. On any washersterilizer, installing a Balston 23/75R Steam Filter on the steam line and a Balston LP Grade 20 Water Filter on the water line guarantees freedom from the outside contaminants.

How the cartridge works

The LP Grade 20 liquid filter cartridge is constructed entirely from polypropylene, rendering it safe and inert for use in hospital water supplies. The polypropylene construction makes this filter acceptable for use in cold and hot (to 180°F/82°C) water supplies. The filter cartridge consists of a polypropylene external support structure with EPR seals and an internal filtering element. The internal filter is made of self-bonded polypropylene fibers which are graded from coarse to fine in the direction of flow (inside-to-outside). Since the coarse inner layer acts as a prefilter for the finer outer layer, the life of this cartridge is exceptionally long. For example: Approximately 50,000 gallons (190,000 liters)of water can be filtered by a single 20" liquid filter cartridge.
