Install / Failure Note

Fil-Trek's 98 Series automatic strainer self-cleans on a differential-pressure setpoint rather than a timer, so blowdown fires exactly when solids loading actually rises — a fixed-timer cycle either wastes water on a clean line or lets solids build past the setpoint on a dirty one.

Chemical process strainers fail in two different ways depending on the chemistry — mechanical breach in an unlined body, or thermal failure below the material's rated floor, like methanol service at -50°F — which is why Fil-Trek's 98 Series and Fluidtrol's FRP line both carry named temperature/chemistry ratings instead of one generic pressure class.
