Micro Hydro Diversion Screens

Debris and coarse sediment is the main problem in wrecking on micro hydro systems. The smaller orifices in these turbines can easily become plugged and the jets, which direct water to a pelton wheel or impeller, eroded and worn by any sediment in the water.

Our micro hydro diversion screens can help protect your investment, reduce maintenance costs, and ensure continuous turbine operation. You will in need of this micro hydro diversion screens because it will keep the water clean and away from those leaves, pine needles and trash.
