The utility model discloses a prefilter capable of being transversely installed, which comprises a water inlet piece with a water inlet, a filter
bottle connected with the water inlet piece and a
machine head connected with the filter
bottle, the
machine head is provided with a water outlet and a drain outlet, a lamination framework and laminations are arranged in the filter
bottle, the laminations are arranged on the outer side of the lamination framework, the lamination framework is provided with filter water through holes, and the filter water through holes are communicated with the filter bottle. A
grating framework is arranged on the inner side of the lamination framework, a guide hole and a
backwashing water through hole are formed in the
grating framework, a spring mechanism is arranged on the outer side of the
grating framework, and the spring mechanism can telescopically move the grating framework to align or stagger the filtering water through hole and the guide hole and close or open the
backwashing water through hole. According to the utility model, an
extremely good backwashing effect can be formed, the requirement of a user can be met by ultra-large flux, and the effects that water flows in from outside to inside during filtering, has a higher flow speed and can be quickly filtered, and water flows out from inside to outside during backwashing
pollution discharge, has higher pressure and can wash particle impurities attached to the lamination can be realized.
