A1.4 Operation
Bravo
Filtration from the inside to the outside of the cartridge. Cleaning is easy and quick, and requires only opening
of the foot drain for a sufficient time to completely remove the dirt from the bowl (high-speed draining system).
This simple operation allows discharging impurities in suspension in the water and an effective cleaning of the
filter cartridge. BRAVO can be easily removed to facilitate cleaning and maintenance. Made with a durable brass
head resistant to the typical system wear and tear that can lead to the breakage of plastic heads.The bowl, with
an incorporated drain valve, is made of high-strength polyamide (maximum pressure 12 bar). The cartridge is
made of stainless steel and fixed to a bushing with an o-ring seal. The special cartridge is resistant to pressure
shock in order to prevent deformation or crushing. BRAVO is supplied with a plastic key for opening the filter.
BravoDUE
Filtration from the inside to the outside of the cartridge. The high-speed draining system is activated manually
by opening the foot valve. Cleaning is easy and quick, and requires only opening of the foot drain for a sufficient
time to completely remove the dirt from the bowl (high-speed draining system). This simple operation allows
discharging impurities in suspension in the water and an effective cleaning of the filter cartridge. BravoDUE can
be easily removed to facilitate cleaning and maintenance. It has a compact size and handles high flow rates with
low pressure loss. BravoDUE is equipped with a check valve to prevent the backflow of plant water to the
distribution system. Made with a plastic head and brass connection plate resistant to typical plant stresses, which
