Fil-trek – Overview
Fil-Trek Corporation is a North American manufacturer of industrial filtration systems, stainless steel filter housings, and ASME code pressure vessels with over 30 years of engineering and manufacturing experience. Based in Canada and serving customers across the United States and Canada, Fil-Trek designs, welds, tests, and assembles every vessel in their own fully integrated manufacturing facility. That end-to-end control over production is what allows them to deliver consistent quality, code compliance, and dependable lead times across a product line that spans some of the most demanding filtration applications in industry.
Fil-Trek holds ASME certification and NSF listings across their product line, which matters in applications where pressure vessel code compliance and potable water certification are not optional. Their manufacturing capability covers cartridge filter housings, high flow housings, bag filter housings, gas housings, oil and fuel housings, fabricated strainers, automatic self-cleaning strainers, steam traps, and complete custom skid solutions. Material options span carbon steel, stainless steel 304, stainless steel 316, and specialty alloys for applications where standard materials are not adequate.
Fil-Trek also maintains a rental housing program for customers who need temporary filtration capacity during maintenance shutdowns, emergency situations, or project startups, and a comprehensive replacement parts and accessories inventory that supports their installed base long after the initial sale. Their client list includes some of the largest names in oil and gas, chemical processing, water treatment, power generation, and industrial manufacturing, a track record that speaks directly to the performance and reliability of their equipment in genuinely demanding conditions.

WHY MERION PUMP AND FIL-TREK
Filtration is not an afterthought in a well-designed fluid system. Strainers protect pumps from debris that causes wear and premature failure. Filter housings protect downstream equipment, instrumentation, and processes from particulate that compromises performance. Steam traps keep condensate moving through a steam system without wasting energy or flooding equipment. Getting the filtration right from the start is part of what makes the rest of the system work as designed over its full service life.
Merion has carried Fil-Trek across a range of these applications because their product line covers the filtration side of what our customers need without requiring us to go to multiple manufacturers. From fabricated basket strainers protecting pump inlets to automatic self-cleaning strainers for applications where manual maintenance is impractical, to filter housings for fluid conditioning and steam traps for condensate management, Fil-Trek brings manufacturing depth and code-compliant construction to every product category they serve.
The ASME certification and NSF listings Fil-Trek carries are meaningful credentials for the commercial, institutional, and industrial customers Merion works with. Engineers specifying equipment for hospitals, municipal systems, and industrial facilities often have code requirements built into the specification. Fil-Trek meets those requirements without treating them as special order items.
What keeps the relationship strong is straightforward. The product is well built, it arrives as specified, and when a project requires something outside the standard catalog, Fil-Trek’s in-house engineering and fabrication capability handles it. For Merion customers, that means filtration specified through us is backed by a manufacturer that takes the same approach to quality and accountability that we do.
FEATURED PRODUCTS
Fil-Trek Fabricated Strainers
Basket strainers built to order in carbon steel, stainless steel 304, stainless steel 316, or specialty alloys, with standard and custom sizing available to ANSI 2500. The right specification for protecting pumps, control valves, and downstream equipment from particulate in commercial plumbing, hydronic, and process piping systems. ASME or economic design options available depending on project requirements.
Fil-Trek Automatic Self-Cleaning Strainers
For applications where manual strainer cleaning is not practical, the Fil-Trek automatic self-cleaning strainer removes itself from the maintenance schedule entirely. The self-cleaning mechanism backwashes the strainer basket automatically without interrupting flow, making it the right specification for continuous-duty systems where shutting down for strainer maintenance creates operational problems.
Fil-Trek Steam Traps
Reliable condensate discharge for steam systems and process equipment, available in cast iron, cast steel, and stainless steel in NPT and socket weld configurations from 1/2 inch to 2 inch. A practical and well-priced specification for steam distribution systems in commercial and institutional buildings, complementing the boiler and condensate return equipment Merion carries from other manufacturers on our line card.
