REMOVES/REDUCES

- Grit, sediment, turbidity and organic matter but also where there is a problem with oxidised iron (‘rust’) and other precipitated contaminants such as manganese or scale particles.
- Chlorine GENERAL INFO

Multi-Media Sand Filters are used where it is necessary to treat all incoming water (point of entry - POE) in large volume for the removal of grit, sediment, turbidity, and organic matter and also where there is a problem with oxidised iron (rust) and other precipitated contaminants such as manganese or scale particles.
Multi-Media Sand Filters normally consist of three media layers (i.e. Support base gravel, micro screened sand and anthracite) and are a very economical means of primary filtration to remove the bulk of suspended solids. They are particularly efficient on surface waters.
Multi-Media Sand Filters are periodically back washed (either automatically or manually) by simply reversing the flow and this flushes to waste the accumulated sediment and also regrades the filter media layers. Also used to remove Chlorine for people with sensitive skin.
