FILTEC multimedia filter units are skid-mounted, workshop assembled and wired, hydro-tested, and delivered ready for installation.
Sand filters are used to remove suspended solids from water and wastewater. Because they have one layer of filter media, sand filters remove only relatively large solids. Finer granules yield finer filtration.
Removing suspended solids smaller than 40 microns requires filters with either two or three layers of filter media. These are referred to as dual-media filters or multimedia filters. When sized properly and with the correct configuration of filter media, these filters can remove suspended solids as small as 5 micron.
Sand filters are typically used for:
Irrigation water
Stormwater
Cooling water
Swimming pool water.
