Aqua-Rite Hi-Pro Micro Filter Bags

Strainrite’s Aqua-Rite Hi-Pro Micro filter bags are high efficiency, absolute-rated bag filters designed for fine particle removal in water and other process liquids. Built on Strainrite’s Hi-Pro Micro platform, these filter bags are well suited for applications that demand consistent particle retention, strong cost-to-benefit performance, and reliable liquid clarification.

All Hi-Pro Micro editions use a unique graduated layering design that starts with a built-in pre-filter inner layer and progresses to tighter outer layers. As fluid moves through the media, progressively smaller particles are removed across multiple layers, helping reduce premature blinding and unnecessary filter changeout. This staged construction supports more consistent filtration performance than single-layer bag designs in demanding services.

The broader Hi-Pro Micro family includes HPM9200, HPM9500, HPM9700, and HPM9900 series. The HPM9200 and HPM9500 series are intended for applications requiring removal of specific particle sizes from liquids at a practical cost-benefit ratio and offer up to 95% efficiency. The HPM9700 and HPM9900 series provide up to 99% efficiency and are especially well suited for oil contamination and gel-like particles.

For water treatment applications, the Aqua-Rite HPM9900 configuration is offered as a paired pre-filter and final filter system, including HPM99-CC-2SR and HPM99-CCX-2SR. The datasheet states ANSI/NSF Standard 61 compliance and notes that the Aqua-Rite HPM9900 meets the requirements of 40 CFR Parts 141 and 142 and the LT2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule, with California approval for 3-log reduction when used in Strainrite’s Pre & Final bag system. CLEAR Solutions can help specify the right Aqua-Rite configuration for your housing, flow rate, and process requirements.
