Reusable Filter Cartridges
To reduce filter purchase and disposal costs, Flo King offers a novel reusable filter cartridge. It consists of a blanket-like material that wraps around a cartridge core (also reusable).
     When the filter is clogged, the operator unrolls it from the cartridge core, lays the blanket on a piece of grating over a suitable tank, drum, reservoir or wastewater treatment pit, then cleans the blanket using a hose and spray nozzle (or pressure spray washer if available).
     The operator then re-rolls the blanket around the core and uses a pair of shoehorn-like devices called "Loading Slats" to reintroduce the plastic Web that holds the reusable filter assembly together.
    Cartridge Size: Outside Diameter, 2-1/2" (6.35 cm); hole diameter, 1" (2.5 cm); lengths, 4, 6, 10, 15 & 20" (10, 15, 25, 38 & 50 cm)

Magnum Reusable Filter (standard type)
Consists of a Standard Magnum Core, reusable filter blanket, and Web. Simply insert cartridge into Flo King pump and tighten thumbscrews onto rolled filter blanket. Magnum blanket is made from polypropylene, is available in 10, 5 and 1 micron, and is compatible with most metal finishing solutions up to 200 F (93 C). It can be used with the Flo King system or in many out-of-tank filter chambers.
     Super Magnum: This is similar to the Magnum but is made of a non-polypropylene material (modified acrylic) and is available in 30 and 75 microns. It is the only material recommended for hard chromium plating solutions. Super Magnum is also often used for iron phosphate and other baths with appreciable solids. Super Magnum is not suitable for high-temperature alkaline cleaners and other aggressive caustic solutions.

Permacore Magnum Reusable Filter
This reusable cartridge is distinguished by the polypropylene (Permacore) head at one end. Thumbscrews on Flo King pump tighten directly onto Permacore head, thus alleviating wear and tear on reusable filter blanket. The Permacore head screws onto the cartridge core and together they are known as a Permacore Element. The Permacore cartridge allows the operator to be less exacting about rolling up the filter blanket after cleaning. Even if the blanket hasn't been rolled up snugly, the Permacore head makes the connection to the Flo King pump because of its fixed size and shape. Magnum and Super Magnum blankets and Webs used for Permacore cartridge are the same as those used for the standard Magnum and Super Magnum reusable cartridge.
