Hydrocyclone filters, or sometimes called sand separators, use the flow of the water to create centrifugal force for separation. It cause a vortex inside the top, and due to its conical shape it causes a reverse flow to be created pushing the water out of the top to the rest of your system, while any sand or debris that may be in your water flows along the vortex going into the collection tank. Some debris will still be carried by the reverse flow so having another filter on your system is paramount if you are worried about clogging. To see an example of what it can remove, take a cup of unfiltered water from your system and let the particles in it settle to the bottom. Anything that falls to the bottom within 2 minutes is what should be filtered out by the Sand Seperator.
