FAQ

What types of fluids can the BS-4 filter handle?

The BS-4 is suitable for water, non‑abrasive liquids, and many chemical solutions that are compatible with stainless steel. It is not recommended for highly abrasive slurries or fluids containing aggressive acids that exceed stainless steel’s corrosion limits.

How often should the basket be cleaned?

Cleaning frequency depends on the level of particulate load in the system. In typical water treatment applications, a monthly inspection and cleaning is sufficient. For higher‑load environments, more frequent cleaning may be required to maintain optimal flow.

Can the BS-4 be installed in a vertical pipe configuration?

Yes, the basket’s design allows for both horizontal and vertical installations. When installed vertically, ensure the inlet and outlet connections are properly sealed to prevent leakage.

Is a replacement part available if the mesh becomes damaged?

GROCO offers replacement mesh inserts for the BS-4 model. Customers can contact the support team with the model number (75609) to obtain the correct part, ensuring continued performance without replacing the entire basket.

What warranty does GROCO provide for this product?

The BS-4 comes with a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. If any issues arise within this period, GROCO will repair or replace the unit at no additional cost, provided the product is used according to the guidelines.
