The
The Filtrol-160
has been
featured twice in The FAMILY HANDYMAN MAGAZINE, Sports Magazines, Home Improvement TV shows,
ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX and PBS News programs, even on CNN. Many Clean Water Agencies are now
writing their materials to include filtering wash water!
|
The Filtrol-160
is a
patented, re-useable filter that attaches to your washing machine discharge hose and
removes the non-biodegradable fibers like polyester and nylon, sand, hair and pet fur
before they go down the drain and plug your septic system and drainpipes. Even
Laundromats
and government facilities are using the Filtrol-160.
This product is now being
used by and/or recommended by · Universities · State Water
Quality Agencies · Professional Contractors · Homeowners · Laundromats · Engineering
and Consulting Firms · Entire Communities and Neighborhoods · Environmental Agencies
· Mobile Home Parks · Some Government Agencies have stated "This product
is long overdue" and would like to make the Filtrol-160 a code
requirement! Why? Because it works!
The Filtrol-160
comes with
extra hose, clamps, fittings, and a mounting bracket for easy installation (you supply the
2 screws that hold the bracket on the wall). Most homeowners can install the unit in 10-15
minutes.
The
Filtrol-160 comes with a
bracket for mounting on the wall near the washing machine. All necessary hose, clamps and
fittings are included. (You supply the 2 screws that
hold the bracket to the wall ).
These are examples of typical
installations, however, because not all laundry rooms are the same you may have to modify
your set-up.
The Filtrol-160
comes with a filter that you empty out over a garbage container every 1-3 weeks and will
last 1-3 years. Replacement bags are $12.95. Most will order a second bag to save on
shipping charges.*

The main things you will want to take into consideration when
installing your Filtrol-160
will be:
Location-You will not want to install
the Filtrol-160
under a low hanging cabinet. This could interfere with the
removal of the filter for cleaning. If possible, the top of the Filtrol-160 should not exceed 60 inches. Discharge hose can be routed to a standpipe, wallbox or
laundry tub (figures 1 & 2).
-
Discharge Hose-If existing discharge hose is brittle, split or the wrong size, it should be
replaced with 1" ID hose (supplied). Note: On some washing machines (General
Electric, for example) you may need to obtain a 1 inch union fitting (available at most
hardware stores) to properly attach the new hose. On most machines the new hose will
easily attach to the fitting that protrudes from the back. Be aware that some machines
will discharge 2-3 cups of water when hose is removed.
-
Attachment-When attaching bracket to the wall, screws should be driven into a stud (see
figure 3). The Filtrol-160 will become extremely heavy when it is full of
water. If drilling into plaster or drywall and you can not locate a stud, expander bolts,
or toggle bolts, should be used. Hint: First attach the bracket to a 3/4 inch thick piece
of plywood, then attach the plywood to the wall.
-
Cleaning-Frequency of cleaning the
filter will depend on the types and amounts of materials being laundered. In most cases
the filter will need to be cleaned every 10-15 washloads. Clean filter often for best
results.
-
Caution-Always unplug washing machine before moving it or performing any type of service.
The Filtrol-160
comes with a 90 day money
back guarantee. If after using the
Filtrol-160 for 3 months, you dont
think it is protecting your system, send it back for a full refund. Most people, after
seeing how well it works, begin recommending it or giving them as gifts to their friends
and neighbors, after all, the only thing worse than having a failed system is living next
door to one. We have even received letters from people saying that after using this filter
(and stopping the constant assault of material fibers) their sluggish and failed systems
have started working again.
Dear Sir,
I just wanted to thank you for your Product. It is
exactly what I was looking for in my new Home. After reading about the
horrors of all the things that can go wrong with Septic Systems of all
types, I came upon your web site and decided that your filter was the
best way to go.
I have had the “Septic Protector” in place for a
year now and you would not believe the lint and other [for the lack of a
better word] garbage that the Protector has kept out of my system. I
have to clean the filter about once a week to keep it in prime working
order. It takes about five minutes to complete the cleaning process. If
I
am pressed for time I just use one of the other filters and clean the
dirty one at my leisure.
I am enclosing a picture that show my
installation and I would be glad to tell anyone how well the Septic
Protector works. Yours truly, John Sims |

youve got a yard/basement full of raw sewage and you are writing out a check for
$5,000 to more than $20,000 for a new septic system.
We accept VISA, Mastercard, Discover, money orders, or your personal
check. In most cases you will receive your Filtrol-160
