The filter element consists of grooved discs, mounted on a spine, forming a cylindrical filter element. The discs are compressed together by a spring located at the bottom of the filter cover. 

Plastic rings stack together creating a cylindrical filter element. During filtration, the rings are compressed together effectively filtering the water and protecting the system from clogging. Manual filters can be used as a stand-alone unit or combined to form modular filter batteries.
