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 Multimedia
Sand 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 progressively finer layers of anthracite, sand, garnet and a
gravel support layer. As the supply water travels through the filter
bed, the suspended solids are removed (from 10 - 15 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
Multimedia Sand Filters are recommended for surface and bore water
supplied containing unacceptable levels of suspended solids and
discoloration.
