Malaysian Country Club Water Filtration Installations
Equeron installed the Equeron 240 in November 2024, replacing an existing VAF V-1000 self-cleaning filter to continue filter operations.
What was needed? Automatic self-cleaning screen filters for golf course and turf irrigation systems that need reliable nozzle protection and uniform coverage.
Problems with Golf & Turf Filtration
When dealing with Golf & Turf, there are many water quality issues that must be addressed through filtration. Golf and turf irrigation systems often use ponds, wells, lakes, or reclaimed water with sediment and organic matter. Debris can clog sprinkler nozzles, reduce irrigation uniformity, and increase maintenance labor. Manual filter cleaning can interrupt watering schedules and create operational headaches.
Water sources may vary, but the primary water sources for Golf & Turf filtration are: Ponds, Lakes, Wells, Reclaimed water, and Surface water. These sources, however, are filled with contaminants like Sand, Silt, Algae, Organic matter, and Turf debris which can be filtered at the 100-500 micron range.
Overview
Golf course irrigation systems rely on consistent filtration to keep sprinklers, valves, and distribution lines protected from suspended solids. This installation used an automatic self-cleaning Equeron filter to support ongoing irrigation performance while reducing the need for manual filter maintenance.
Results
Equeron conducted a full service after the first 6 months of operation and concluded that no replacement parts were needed. During its time of operation, the Equeron 240 operated without fault and system data showed a total of 6,314 flush cycles since installation. The ground manager has commented that it is one piece of equipment he hasn’t had to worry about since installed.
