General Filter Products - History

 

 

General Filter Corporation was founded in 1935 in Ames, Iowa.  General Filter has a long tradition of innovation, beginning with the invention of the ATOMERATOR™ system - an innovative way of introducing oxygen into a process stream without breaking system pressure.  General Filter became an industry leader for all varieties of manufactured water treatment equipment including pressure filters, clarifiers and aerators.  General Filter innovations include the MULTICELL common-underdrain filter system, the AERALATER® package treatment system, Laser Shield direct-retention underdrain caps, and the MULTIWASH® backwash system.
