Introducing the LPD-Mag

The LPD-Mag is the lowest pressure drop Y-Strainer on the market, upgraded with a magnet to catch iron oxides.
The LPD was developed by Metraflex through a complete re-engineering of the traditional Y-Strainer to provide a strainer with a much better pressure drop and at the same time a much higher debris capacity than any Y-Strainer or Basket Strainer on the market. People that were looking for lower pressure drop efficacies have also been using pumps with ECM motors. These motors are a big improvement over the traditional electric motors. However, it turns out that using the ECM motors had an unintended consequence. The larger, very powerful magnets drew the iron oxide into the seal area of the pump causing seal failures. These users came to Metraflex for a way to remove the iron oxide from the water, and the LPD-Mag was created.
The LPD-Mag includes a neodymium rare-earth magnet installed into the collection vortex of the LPD, this maximizes the magnets ability to catch the iron oxide. The blow down port is designed to allow for a thorough blow down of the strainer to remove the iron oxide, while in service.
We will be showcasing the LPD-Mag at the upcoming AHR Show in Atlanta. Stop by our booth in January to see it for yourself!
