What Filtersafe does

Filtersafe Ltd. is an Israeli designer and manufacturer of automatic self-cleaning water filtration systems, founded in 2005 and headquartered in Karmiel, Israel, with regional offices in Australia, Singapore, China, the United States, Brazil, Chile/Peru, Germany, and Russia/CIS. The company's product platform centers on its patented EVERCLEAR cleaning mechanism, which pairs smartweave multi-layered sintered weave-wire screens with nozzlex proximity nozzles to deliver continuous, in-operation filtration down to 10 microns at flow rates up to 9,000 m³/hr, with later-generation upgrades including BladeX, OneMotion, and turbo/superturbo for high sediment loads. The portfolio spans the Titan, Trident H/E, Manta, BallastSafe e-Series, Single Screen, and Leviathan Brush lines, plus customized engineered solutions and AZUD disc filters distributed exclusively in Australia and New Zealand.

The company sells primarily through direct enterprise field sales supported by a global channel network of ballast water management system (BWMS) integrators, water treatment EPCs, and regional distributors. End markets are maritime/ballast water (its historical core, where it claims roughly 25% of treated global ballast water and 4,000+ cumulative installations), desalination, industrial water treatment, agriculture, aquaculture, and oil & gas. Pricing is quote-based on application engineering with multi-year contracts, revenue is generated through equipment sales, OEM spare parts and maintenance kits, and technical services, and growth is supported by an extensive certification portfolio (DNV, USCG, Bureau Veritas, Lloyd's Register, ABS, CCS, KR, NSF/ANSI/CAN 61, PCEC, ISO 9001:2015) that functions as a regulatory moat in the marine and drinking water segments.

Core offering

Filtersafe designs, manufactures, and sells automatic self-cleaning water filtration systems for industrial applications. Its proprietary smartweave multi-layered sintered screen and nozzlex proximity nozzle cleaning technology deliver continuous filtration down to 10 microns at flow rates up to 9,000 m³/hr, eliminating cartridge replacement and manual cleaning. The product portfolio (Titan, Trident H/E, Manta, BallastSafe e-Series, Single Screen, Leviathan Brush, AZUD disc filters) serves marine/ballast water, desalination, industrial, agriculture, aquaculture, and oil & gas customers globally.

Product overview

Filtersafe offers a portfolio of automatic self-cleaning water filtration systems centered on its EVERCLEAR technology platform, which combines smartweave screen technology with nozzlex proximity nozzles to provide continuous filtration without downtime. The product lineup includes the Titan Series for high-capacity industrial applications (up to 4,000 m³/h), Trident H (hydraulic-powered) and Trident E (electric-powered) series for agriculture and industrial use, Manta Series for aquaculture and marine applications, BallastSafe e-Series for ballast water management (available in Compact, High Capacity, and Multi configurations), Single Screen filters for smaller installations, and Leviathan Brush Series for high sediment loads. Customized engineered solutions and AZUD disc filters (via exclusive Australia/NZ distribution partnership) extend the portfolio, while FS Support provides spare parts and field services. All products share the core EVERCLEAR cleaning mechanism and smartweave multi-layered sintered screen technology.
