Atlas Filtri Hydra Self-Cleaning Filter Automatic Backwash Valve

Self-cleaning performance with automatic KMATIC backwash

The KMATIC valve takes the hassle out of filter maintenance by automatically flushing the mesh cartridge at preset intervals. This keeps the 90-micron stainless steel screen clear of rust, sand, and sediment, ensuring consistent filtration without the need for manual cleaning. Perfect for busy homes, farms, or holiday properties, the set-and-forget backwash cycle extends filter life, reduces water system downtime, and eliminates the need for messy disassembly.

Coarse filtration you can see – Real-time Atlas Filtri sediment control

The clear 10" PET housing gives you instant visibility into filter performance, making it easy to know when a backflush is needed—no guesswork involved. Inside, the 90-micron stainless steel mesh traps coarse sediment, such as sand, silt, and rust, before it can clog pipes, damage appliances, or overload UV and carbon filters. This first-stage filtration keeps your system running efficiently, reduces maintenance on downstream components, and ensures cleaner water at every tap.

Built for compact spaces with long-lasting brass BSP connections

Designed for compact installs, the Atlas Filtri Hydra 10" sediment filter features ½" BSP brass threaded ports—perfect for tight residential setups, under-bench cabinets, or small utility rooms. These solid brass connections provide a secure, leak-resistant seal and offer superior long-term durability compared to plastic fittings, particularly under varying water pressure conditions. Whether you are filtering rainwater, bore water, or mains supply, this compact self-cleaning filter fits seamlessly into homes, baches, or rural properties using standard NZ plumbing systems.

Set-and-Forget filtration – Ideal for busy or remote holiday homes

With its automatic KMATIC backwash valve, the Atlas Filtri Hydra 10" sediment filter cleans itself on a programmed schedule—no manual rinsing, no shutdowns, no maintenance stress. It is ideal for holiday homes, rental properties, and rural setups where consistent filtration is crucial, but constant oversight isn't feasible. Delivering up to 63 L/min, it ensures smooth, uninterrupted water flow for whole-house use, irrigation systems, or pre-UV filtration, all while protecting your plumbing from sediment buildup.

Atlas Filtri HYDRA - Versatile filtration for a range of water sources and applications

This filter is designed to handle the variable conditions found in rainwater tanks, bore water, and even mains supply—making it a reliable first-stage solution for rural homes, baches, lifestyle blocks, and off-grid systems. It filters coarse sediment, such as roof debris, sand, grit, or rust particles, which are common in tank and bore setups. By capturing this debris before it enters the UV, carbon, or reverse osmosis system, it helps prevent fouling, clogs, and pressure drop across your water treatment chain.

Pair HYDRA filter with UV, Carbon or RO for complete water protection

The Atlas Hydra is designed to work as a first-stage sediment filter, making it the perfect partner for UV sterilisation, carbon block filters, or reverse osmosis systems. Removing coarse debris first helps your downstream filters perform better and last longer—giving you cleaner, safer water at every tap.
