Cyclone drip filter - 1 "M - action GEL.DEPURA CYCLON 1000 SI

Product detailed description

Cyclone drip filters are commonly used in residential and commercial potable water systems to remove suspended solids and particulate matter. These filters are installed in water supply lines to protect downstream equipment such as boilers, heat exchangers, and water heaters from clogging and wear. The IVAR 101.160.40 is suitable for installations where periodic manual cleaning is preferred over fully automatic systems. It is often found in domestic water treatment systems, small-scale industrial applications, and in systems where water hardness is moderate and requires occasional descaling.

Installers working with potable water systems must ensure that the filter is correctly sized and positioned to avoid flow restrictions. The filter is designed for integration into both horizontal and vertical piping configurations, providing flexibility in installation. It is important to verify that the system pressure and temperature are within the specified limits before commissioning.

Technical parameters

Material	Filter head PP / brass
Operating temperature	+40 °C
Nominal pressure	PN 6
Installation key	Code 125.210.50
Code	101.160.40
Brand	IVAR

The operating temperature limit of +40 °C means the filter is suitable for cold and warm water applications but not for hot water systems exceeding this threshold. The PN 6 pressure rating indicates it is suitable for low to medium-pressure water systems. The filter head is constructed from polypropylene and brass, which are resistant to corrosion and suitable for potable water use. The stainless steel filter cartridge ensures durability and consistent filtration performance.Installation and connection The IVAR 101.160.40 is connected using a 1-inch male thread and requires a mounting key with code 125.210.50 for secure installation. The filter should be installed in a location that allows easy access for manual descaling and cleaning. It is recommended to connect the filter to the drainage system to facilitate the removal of waste during the cleaning process. Common installation errors include incorrect orientation of the filter, failure to align the flow direction, and neglecting to check the sealing of the connections. Installers should verify that the filter is mounted in a stable position and that the drainage connection is properly secured to prevent leaks.Compatibility and accessories The filter is compatible with potable water systems operating within the specified pressure and temperature limits. It is designed for use with horizontal and vertical piping and can be integrated into both new and existing installations. The installation key (code 125.210.50) is required for secure mounting and should be ordered separately. No other accessories are required for basic operation, but the drainage connection must be verified for compatibility with the local system.Technical background for designers The IVAR 101.160.40 operates on a cyclonic separation principle, where water is forced through a spiral chamber to separate particulate matter from the flow. The stainless steel filter cartridge with 90 μm porosity captures fine particles, ensuring clean water output. The polypropylene and brass construction provides resistance to corrosion and ensures long-term reliability in potable water systems. The filter is designed for integration into low to medium-pressure systems and is suitable for applications where manual cleaning is preferred. The service life and efficiency of the filter depend on the frequency of manual cleaning and the quality of the water being filtered. High particulate load or frequent scaling may require more frequent maintenance.Service and operation The filter requires periodic manual descaling and cleaning to maintain performance. The stainless steel cartridge can be removed and cleaned using standard water supply for rinsing. It is important to ensure that the filter is fully drained and reassembled correctly after cleaning. No specific service intervals are provided in the brief, but regular inspection is recommended based on the water quality and usage patterns. Installers should check for signs of wear on the sealing components and ensure that the filter is operating without flow restrictions.Frequently asked questions

Can the IVAR 101.160.40 be connected to a vertical pipe?
Yes, the filter can be installed in both horizontal and vertical piping configurations, provided the flow direction is maintained and the drainage connection is accessible.

What is the maximum operating temperature of the filter?
The filter is rated for a maximum operating temperature of +40 °C, making it suitable for cold and warm water applications but not for hot water systems.

What is the recommended mounting key for installation?
The filter requires a mounting key with code 125.210.50 for secure installation. This key is not included with the filter and must be ordered separately.

Can the filter be used in a closed-loop system?
The filter is designed for open potable water systems and is not intended for use in closed-loop systems. It requires a connection to the drainage system for waste removal during cleaning.
