When it comes to the maintenance of heating and cooling systems, one essential component should not be overlooked: the partial flow filter. This handy system helps remove sludge, hardness salts, and other impurities from the water, optimizing the performance of your installations. In this blog, we will take you into the world of partial flow filters. We will explain what they are, how they work, and the benefits they provide for your heating and cooling systems. Whether you are responsible for a small system or a larger process water circuit, a partial flow filter can be a valuable addition to your installation.
What is a partial flow filter?
A partial flow filter is an essential filtration system used in closed water circuits, such as heating and cooling systems. This type of filter helps remove sludge, precipitated hardness salts, and organic contamination from the system water. Additionally, our Hydropro partial flow filters are equipped with powerful neodymium magnets that effectively capture even the smallest iron particles in the form of magnetite.
How does a partial flow filter work?
The partial flow filter is connected to the piping system and continuously filters a portion of the water circuit. The system operates as follows:
- The system contains a stainless steel inner basket and filter bags with a fineness between 1 and 100 microns, which remove sludge and other suspended particles.
- Furthermore, the system includes extra strong magnets that capture ultrafine magnetic particles, such as magnetite, before they can cause damage to the system.
Single or duplex system?
Our partial flow filters are available in both single and duplex systems:
- Single system: Suitable for smaller installations or systems with a low degree of contamination.
- Duplex system: Ideal for larger systems or installations where continuity is required, as it allows for switching between two filters without shutting down the system.

When do you need a partial flow filter?
A partial flow filter is a must-have for installations where dirt accumulation and corrosion pose a risk, particularly for:
- Heating installations where iron oxide and magnetite can clog pipes and heat exchangers.
- Cooling systems where suspended dirt and rust particles reduce the efficiency of the installation.
- Process water circuits where various metals such as stainless steel, carbon steel, and copper are present, which can lead to corrosion formation.
Benefits of our partial flow filters:
- Very strong magnets: magnets capture the smallest magnetic particles.
- Stainless steel inner basket: corrosion-resistant and efficient in dirt capture.
- Easy maintenance: easy and quick to clean without completely draining the system.
- Durable construction: sturdy housing with reliable sealing.
- Optimal price-performance ratio: efficient and cost-effective compared to other filter systems.
- Plug & Play system: supplied with pump, control cabinet, filters, shut-off valves, and magnets, allowing for immediate use without additional installations.
Conclusion:
A partial flow filter is a smart investment for companies and institutions looking to protect their heating and cooling systems from contamination and corrosion. By combining mechanical and magnetic filtration, the system ensures cleaner water and a longer lifespan of installations. Our partial flow filters provide a sustainable and efficient solution for various applications.
