Technical Tips & Information

Miller-Leaman’s Helix Disc Filter

Miller-Leaman’s Helix Disc filter models are available in three sizes: 2”, 2” Super and 3”. The filters can be installed in any orientation; however, it is preferable to install them in the inverted position with the 3/4” flush port located at the bottom. This helps the filtration system works at it’s optimum. As water enters the filter housing, a high velocity centrifugal action occurs, spiraling heavier particles (sediment) away from the disc cartridge, down to the base of the filter. These accumulated particles are then flushed from the filter via the 3/4” flush port connection at the base of the filter.

The three-dimensional disc is ideal for filtering hard particles such as sediment, scale, soft fibrous material, algae, bugs, cottonseed and similar materials. The color coded discs are available in a variety of micron sizes.

The body is made of 316 stainless steel, the quick release clamp assembly is strong and reliable.

How It Works

Dirty water enters the filter housing through the inlet connection.

As dirty water passes through the Helix-Element, the water starts to spin at high velocity. This centrifugal action spins the particles away from the disc media, minimizing manual cleaning frequency.

As particles are spun down to the base of the filter, they are flushed via the 3/4” female threaded flush port connection.

The dirty water passes from the outside to the inside of the discs. The grooves, molded into the surface of the three-dimensional discs, trap the remaining contaminants in the water.

After passing through the discs, the filtered water flows upward and exits the filter through one of the outlets. The outlet not being used is terminated with a threaded cap.

Miller-Leamans disc filter is the perfect replacment for sand filters. Contact us for more information of Miller-Leaman filtration products.
