Closed-loop water circuits, which are integral to a building’s environmental management systems, are frequently susceptible to contamination from suspended particles. This contamination often leads to inefficient temperature regulation within the structure. Side stream filters play an essential yet often overlooked role in preserving the integrity of these systems.

### What Is a Side Stream Filter?
A side stream filter is designed to eliminate impurities from a building's closed-loop water network. These filters are usually installed within the plant room. The term "side stream filter" stems from its placement in the system and the fact that it doesn't filter the entire flow all at once.
Side stream filters function by processing about 5-15% of the total flow, ensuring that the complete system volume is purified two or three times every day.
We typically suggest using a cartridge-based side stream filter system, but other technologies like hydrocyclones and separators can effectively remove larger debris. However, these alternatives don't match the efficiency of cartridge filters. A standard system from Amazon Filters might include a Stainless Steel 61 Series filter housing paired with disposable Amazon SupaSpun II filter cartridges.
We advocate for the use of absolute filters because they retain their contaminant removal efficiency throughout their lifespan, even when water quality fluctuates. Nominal filters, on the other hand, often experience diminished effectiveness over time or may release previously captured contaminants, leading to unexpected system blockages.
A side stream filtration system can also help:
- Remove suspended solids, minimizing wear and tear on critical water circuit parts.
- Reduce biofouling within the system and decrease reliance on chemical antifouling agents.
- Eliminate trapped air, preventing potential issues.
- Save time and labor compared to traditional flushing methods.
- Achieve cleaner systems overall.
- Lower maintenance needs, equipment downtime, and repair expenses.
