Home How They Function Products & Services Q & A Education Articles For You Media

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 don’t 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
