Principle of operation: Water treatment in the system takes place in three separate stages: The water enters at the center of the device and comes into contact with the internal element, which consists of a set of concentric mesh surfaces. The microparticles are separated by the joint action of the large chamber and the mesh surfaces.

Construction details: Dual filtering effect The Caleffi XF magnetic filter contains two devices that remove impurities. The first is an internal mesh element, composed of a set of concentric surfaces that cause particles up to 5µm to precipitate. The second is an outlet filter with a large surface, which mechanically selects and retains impurities by size (160 µm).

Adjustable by-pass: Sizes 1-1/4” and 1-1/2” come with a by-pass to restrict the flow rate passing through the Caleffi XF magnetic filter and thereby increase the Cv value. However, 0% by-pass is recommended during commissioning and for the first few weeks of system operation. Then, during the “constant”...
Installation on horizontal and vertical pipes: The Caleffi XF magnetic filter is adjustable so that it can be installed on both horizontal and vertical pipes. Use the special tightening wrench to screw and unscrew the locking nut.The functional and fluid-dynamic characteristics...
