Filtration is simple to understand, dirty liquid flows through a filter that catches and holds the unwanted particles. The filter media does the trapping work.

The key to saving money? Making each filter last as long as possible before you need to change it. When a filter cycle runs longer, it catches more dirt per square inch. That means you complete fewer cycles over time, which lowers your media costs. Plus, your system runs with fewer stops for filter changes, so you can get more work done. And here’s a bonus: filters that run longer can be smaller, which saves you money and space.

But there’s a problem. As dirt piles up on the filter media, liquid has a harder time flowing through. Without enough pressure pushing it, the flow slows down fast and could be too slow to keep up with what you need.

The Oberlin Advantage

Our filters solve this problem with power and pressure. We use pumps to push liquid into a sealed chamber. The only way out is through the filter. This creates serious pressure, typically 30 to 40 psi. That’s three to four times stronger than filters that rely on gravity or vacuum.

Why does this matter? More pressure means your filter keeps working longer before it clogs up. In many jobs, the difference between 10 psi and 35 psi can mean hours more runtime.
