Product overview

A simple way to protect your cleaning head.

Oil-fired heating coils can release rust, scale, and other debris into the water stream. If that material reaches the internal gears of a rotating cleaning head, it can interfere with operation.

The stainless steel Y Filter is installed inline before the cleaning head to help capture debris before it enters the head. This added filtration helps protect internal components and reduce debris-related interruptions.

Protects Internal Gears

Helps prevent debris from entering the planetary gear area of compatible cleaning heads.

Stainless Steel Construction

Why filtration matters

Protect the Cleaning Head Before Debris Reaches It

Debris from an oil-fired heating coil can travel downstream toward the cleaning head. Installing a Y Filter ahead of the head adds a layer of protection by catching rust, scale, and particulates before they can reach the internal gear components.
