N/A
While the filtration media provides some of the filtration action, collected contaminants actually further increase efficiency. We call this phenomenon "cake formation." The collected solids (or "cake") trap additional contaminants. The key to making this principle work is timely cleaning - too soon and you lose the benefit, too late and the system flow becomes hindered. |
