Big Foot Filters for Lake & Pond Irrigation pumps and Fountains | 40 Gallon & 80 Gallon

The 40 & 80 gallon filters are rated at 40 gallons per minute and 80 gallons per minute respectively. They are made of heavy-duty PVC plastic. Our Big Foot pump Filters require little or no service during the pumping season and will give many years of trouble-free service, even under the most severe conditions.

Filters come with reusable, replaceable 2” thick bulk filter matting for catching smaller debris that can clog up sprinkler heads.

OPTIONAL ADD-ONS:

2” FPT Check Valve
Filter Stand

Filters can be easily removed from the stand as needed.
The 40 Gal filter stand allows you to adjust the filter height anywhere from 5” to 12” off the bottom.
Stands are lightweight for easy maneuverability yet offer a large footprint for added stability.
Empty sandbag included that can optionally be used in areas with strong water movement.

40 GAL & 80 GAL FILTER | DETAILS

The 40G uses the 6” diameter screen on the outside and 2” diameter inside screen with 1/8” slots with an open area of 20 square inches. The 80G Filter’s 12” diameter outside screen has an intake area of approximately 80 square inches and the 6” diameter inside screen has an intake area of approximately 33 square inches.

The 40G and 80G can be ordered equipped with a check valve and can be ready to connect to your suction hose leading to your pump. Or, check out our complete suction hose & filter packages.

Filters come with removable, replaceable bulk-filter matting. The filtering media will provide an effective means of keeping algae, small debris and other forms of marine life out of the pumping system. In addition, the extra inlet area reduces entrance velocities to the point that foreign matter is not picked up by the suction. Also, the large filtering area can retain a substantial amount of foreign matter before it needs service.
