Atlas Filtri Hydra Coarse Sediment Self-Cleaning Filter

Pre-filtration solution for rural tanks, bores, or town water: First-line defence for cleaner, safer water

Atlas Filtri Hydra 1" Self-Cleaning Sediment Filter has a reusable 90-micron stainless steel mesh screen traps coarse sediment, rust, sand, grit, and organic debris before reaching pipes and appliances. Built to perform in high-sediment water environments, this filter delivers consistent protection without significantly reducing water pressure. By stopping sediment at the source, it extends the life of UV, carbon, or reverse osmosis systems while reducing plumbing wear and tear.

Easy DIY installation whole house water filtration system: Atlas Filtri Hydra self-cleaning filter

Standard 1" BSP plastic threaded ports, ensuring a fast, leak-free fit with most residential and light commercial plumbing systems in NZ. The included mounting bracket (horizontal/ vertical), drain funnel with backflow prevention, and installation kit (spanner + Lubrikit) ensure a secure installation. Constructed with durable reinforced polypropylene and eco-friendly PET, it operates reliably under pressure conditions (max. 8bar / 116psi), making it an excellent choice for both DIY and professional installations.

Manual backflush sediment filter - Just turn the valve to flush sediments

The 90-micron stainless steel mesh cartridge is fully reusable and withstands repeated cleaning, cutting down maintenance time, replacement costs, and plastic waste. Thus, no need to remove/ replace cartridges! Flushing is done through the integrated drain port, making it quick and clean to clear rust, sand, and debris. An antimicrobial flat seal helps protect water quality during operation—ideal for long-term use in residential and tank-fed water setups.

Atlas whole house sediment filter with 100 L/Min high-flow capacity

With a high flow rate of up to 100 lL/min, the Hydra 1" self-cleaning filter is ideal for whole-house water filtration, multi-outlet residential setups, and light commercial systems. Its low-pressure-drop design maintains consistent pressure across multiple taps and appliances—making it suitable for tank, bore, or mains water. The 1" BSP threaded connections ensure easy integration with standard NZ plumbing, the filter operates safely up to 8 bar/116 psi.

Dual gauge monitoring for instant performance feedback of HYDRA filter

The Hydra's clear PET housing allows it to monitor sediment buildup in real-time, so you always know exactly when flushing is needed. Dual built-in pressure gauges provide immediate feedback on flow and pressure drop, helping to detect any performance changes before they affect the system. This smart monitoring setup prevents unnecessary maintenance and protects against reduced water pressure, overloaded filters, and costly system inefficiencies—giving you control over your filtration performance.

Atlas Filtri Hydra self-cleaning filter - Part of a complete filtration system but not  a standalone drinking water filter

The Atlas Hydra is a coarse sediment pre-filter designed to remove physical particles, such as sand, rust, and debris. It does not remove chlorine, taste, odour, or microorganisms. For safe and great-tasting drinking water, we recommend pairing it with a carbon filter, UV steriliser, or reverse osmosis system, depending on your water source.
