Operation:

The PPS is installed submerged in the water source. When pumping starts, water flows through the screen and large suspended trash and solid dirt is accumulated on the outside of the screen preventing it from entering the pump and the water system. The screen is automatically self-cleaned by pressurized water sprayed from the nozzles, continuously rotating and covering the entire area of the screen (the rotation velocity is adjustable).
