Approaches to control Zebra Mussel (Dreiss zebra mussel filter ena spp.) bi-fouling in raw water systems can be broadly categorized as either chemical, physical, or biological. No biological methodology has proven to be effective, may be limited by present and/or future environmental regulations. Small water withdrawers, such as cottage owners, will probably not be able to obtain permits to inject a chemical, such as chlorine, at the intake to keep the intake-line mussel free. Back flushing with chemicals is also not permitted. An environmentally-benign, low maintenance alternative is to install, at the intake, a filter with uniform-sized small openings that would exclude the planktonic Zebra Mussel life forms commonly referred to as Veligers.
The "Shredder's" unique replaceable filter cartridge design allows for uninterrupted and low-cost protection of your entire water system. Annual replacement of the filter cartridges ensures maximum efficiency while keeping maintenance costs to a bare minimum.

The "Shredder's" unique replaceable filter cartridge design allows for uninterrupted and low-cost protection of your entire water system. Annual replacement of the filter cartridges ensures maximum efficiency while keeping maintenance costs to a bare minimum.
In addition, because Primar Filtration's "Shredder" are installed at the offshore end of the water intake, Zebra Mussels are prevented from ever entering the water system. This eliminates the costly repairs and expensive cleaning often required once Zebra Mussels have attached themselves and colonized the household plumbing.
Developing a filter that can effectively screen out Zebra Mussel “Veligers” solves only part of the problem. A filter that places too much demand on a system's pump, not only will cause a decrease in water volume and pressure but also can often lead to serious and expensive damage to the pump.

Developing a filter that can effectively screen out Zebra Mussel “Veligers” solves only part of the problem. A filter that places too much demand on a system's pump, not only will cause a decrease in water volume and pressure but also can often lead to serious and expensive damage to the pump.
To resolve this problem, Primar Filtration has worked closely with GOULDS Pumps, an industry leader with a nationwide reputation for manufacturing quality pumps. As a result of this team effort, extensive water flow tests on our filters have been conducted by GOULDS with the finding that each filter can easily accommodate a minimum flow rate of 80 gallons per minute and not be effected by strong system back-flushing.
