Filtaworx Automatic Brush Filters

Filtaworx Automatic Brush Filters Australia | Self-Cleaning Industrial Water Filtration

Filtaworx Automatic Brush Filters are the workhorse of clean-water systems across Australia engineered to backwash on their own, run 24/7, and protect your pumps, pipes, sprinklers and process equipment from the dirty water that quietly destroys downtime budgets. At Pumptastic, we stock the full FILTAWORX® Automatic Brush Filter range with electric drive, in both Inline and 90° Angle configurations, sized from DN100 right up to DN300, rated to 10 Bar, and pushing flow rates from 80 m³/hr to 710 m³/hr. Whether you irrigate broadacre crops in the Wheatbelt, manage a cooling tower in Perth, run mining process water in the Pilbara, or supply a municipal scheme on the east coast, this is the filter that lets you stop cleaning and start working.

Why Australian Operators Choose a Filtaworx Automatic Brush Filter

The defining feature of the Filtaworx range is genuine automatic backwashing, triggered by either pressure differential or a programmable time interval whichever happens first. That dual-trigger logic matters because Australian raw water is unpredictable: a dam after rain in the Wheatbelt, a bore drawing fines in the Pilbara, or a river intake during turbid summer flows can all spike load on the screen within minutes. The Filtaworx electric drive responds before flow drops, sweeping the internal stainless steel screen with its brush assembly and flushing solids out through the dirty-water discharge while the system stays online. Operators get clean water, full flow, and zero manual intervention no shutdowns, no callouts, no excuses.

FWAE1 90° Angle vs FWAE2 Inline Which Configuration Suits Your Site

Choosing between the FWAE1 90° Angle and the FWAE2 Inline body is a layout decision, not a performance one. Both share the same 10 Bar rating, the same 240V electric drive, and the same flow capacities across the 100mm, 150mm, 200mm, 250mm and 300mm sizes. The FWAE2 Inline is the typical pick when your suction and discharge pipework runs in a straight line through a pump shed, irrigation skid or treatment compound. The FWAE1 90° Angle is the smarter choice when you're tight on real estate common in retrofit installs, tank-top mounts, and cooling-tower side streams because it turns the flow path through ninety degrees without an extra elbow and bracket. If you're unsure which fits your footprint, contact our pump and filtration team and we'll size it against your drawings before you spend a dollar.

Built for Australian Water Irrigation, Mining, Municipal and Process

Filtaworx Automatic Brush Filters earn their keep anywhere raw water carries sand, algae, organics or scale. Broadacre and horticultural irrigators across Western Australia, Queensland and the Murray–Darling Basin use the FWAE range to protect drippers, micro-sprinklers and centre pivots from blockage the kind of blockage that quietly turns a $40,000 crop into a $4,000 one. Mining and quarry sites in the Pilbara and Goldfields run them ahead of dust-suppression rings, gland-water lines and process-feed pumps to stop abrasive solids reaching the impellers. Municipal and industrial users specify the same filters for cooling-tower make-up, pre-RO protection, and balance-tank inlets where suspended solids would otherwise foul the next stage. The screen apertures are available across the standard Filtaworx range, so you can match the micron rating to the downstream equipment that actually needs protecting.

Specifications You Can Trust 10 Bar, 240V, 80 to 710 m³/hr

Every unit in this collection is rated to 10 Bar working pressure, runs on standard Australian 240V single-phase power, and carries the genuine FILTAWORX® epoxy-coated carbon steel body with a 316 stainless steel internal screen. Flow capacity scales cleanly with size: the FWAE-100 handles 80 m³/hr, the FWAE-150 handles 150 m³/hr, the FWAE-200 handles 320 m³/hr, the FWAE-250 handles 490 m³/hr, and the flagship FWAE-300 handles 710 m³/hr enough to feed a serious centre pivot or a heavy process loop. Pricing on this collection page is GST-inclusive in Australian dollars, and every filter ships fast from our Australian warehouse with the same trade support we extend on our pump range. For comparison shoppers, we also stock the Filtaworx Semi-Automatic Brush Filters and the Filtaworx Self-Cleaning Screen Filters, both available in the wider Filtaworx range.

Pair It with the Right Pump and Pressure System

An automatic brush filter only delivers its potential when the upstream pump and downstream pressure system are matched correctly. A filter that's starved of inlet pressure won't backwash properly, and one that's overpressured wastes energy and water on a flush you didn't need. Our Australian water pump and pressure tank guide walks homeowners, farmers and site managers through the sizing logic step by step, and our piece on where to buy submersible pumps online in Australia covers the bore-fed scenarios where these filters do their best work.
