Sand Filters are treatment equipment with low operating costs, used to remove or reduce parameters such as suspended solids, turbidity, and sediment that can be physically removed from raw water.
Although Activated Carbon Filters work like sand filters, the primary purpose of these filters is to eliminate problems such as odor, color, organic pollution, turbidity in water and improve water taste.
It consists of 3 main parts: a simple sand filter and active carbon filter, body, automation, and internal media. While the sand filter uses minerals such as graded sand or zeolite as the internal media, the Activated Carbon Filter uses the activated carbon mineral in granular (GAC) form.
Both types of filters can be used alone or together as a part of a standard purification system. They are generally used as pre-treatment elements of advanced treatment systems.
Sand Filter and Activated Carbon Filter in general
- With FRP Tank
- Polyester Tank (models used for pools)
- With Steel Tank
They are produced from 3 different materials. While FRP and Polyester models are preferred for low flow rates and pools, steel tank systems dominate industrial treatment.
Sand Filters and Activated Carbon filters are long-lasting filters as they can clean themselves by backwashing.
