Sand water filters are a time-tested solution for water filtration, widely used in various applications to ensure clean and safe water. These filters rely on a bed of specially graded sand to effectively remove impurities, sediments, and particles from water, resulting in improved water quality.
The principle of sand filtration is relatively simple. As water passes through the sand bed, the sand particles trap and retain suspended solids, such as debris, sediment, and even some microorganisms. This process significantly improves the clarity and purity of the water, making it suitable for a wide range of purposes, from drinking water treatment to industrial processes and pool maintenance.
One of the key advantages of sand water filters is their durability and low maintenance requirements.
While sand filters are known for their affordability, it’s important to note that they require a service flow rate twice that of the backwash rate due to the density of the sand media. This means that they effectively remove sediments, although they do consume more water and energy during backwashing.
For those seeking even finer filtration and aiming to reduce electricity and water consumption please see our Filter AG+® filters which use lighter media, making backwashing easier and more efficient. Using Filter AG+® as opposed to sand filtration can optimise your operational costs and resource usage.
