Sediment (or grit and turbidity) in your water supply may
cause problems when it settles out in tanks, or plugs pipes and fittings, especially ceramic seals in taps. Household and plumbing fixtures can be stained, while washing machines, dishwashers or hot water cylinders may be permanently damaged.
An AquaFlo Macrolite 70/80 Media Filter is the best solution for removing visible solids (and thus turbidity), so you have clear water which won't damage household appliances.
The filter consists of a uniformly fine layer of Macrolite 70/80, garnet and a gravel support layer. As the supply water travels through the filter bed, the suspended solids are removed (from 3 micron in size). The filter bed is maintained in optimum condition by regular backwashing (either automatically or manually), which simply reverses the flow through the filter flushing out accumulated dirt and reconditioning the filter material. The media lasts for many years so maintenance and running costs are very low.
AquaFlo Macrolite Media Filters are recommended for surface and bore water supplied containing unacceptable levels of suspended solids and discoloration.
