3/4-Inch Hydra Self-Cleaning Water Filter Housing – Without Cartridge

The 3/4-Inch Hydra Self-Cleaning Filter is a practical water-filtration housing designed for installation in compatible domestic, commercial, agricultural, and water-treatment systems. It can be used as a pre-filtration component to help protect downstream plumbing equipment, pumps, storage systems, and water-treatment units when fitted with a suitable cartridge.

Its self-cleaning configuration allows accumulated particles to be flushed from the filter housing, reducing the need to dismantle the unit during routine cleaning. The 3/4-inch connection size makes it suitable for compatible pipework commonly used in household and light commercial water installations.

This product is supplied without a cartridge, allowing the installer to select an appropriate compatible filter element according to the water source, filtration requirement, and intended application. Professional cartridge selection and correct installation are recommended for dependable performance.
