Commercial Media Filters MF-410

Steel Tanks: 14” to 42” Diameter SERIES

Pure Aqua’s pressure filters clarify water by removing sediment, turbidity, iron, unpleasant tastes, odors,
suspended particles, and unwanted color, all of which are commonly found in surface water. They can
be used in a variety of services including: industrial, municipal, and institutional applications.

Media Filtration Operating Cycles

Service Cycle
Water flows downward through the media while solids accu-
mulate in the media bed. The purified water passes through to
downstream processes.
Backwash Cycle
When the filter begins to clog or when the head loss (pressure Fleck 5800

drop) through the bed increases, flow rates are reduced. To pre-
vent degradation of water quality, the flow is reversed. This is
directed by the control valve(s) to drain, carrying with it, the
particulate matter that has built up during service. The required
flow is specific to the media and is essential to proper cleaning
of the media bed. For media filters, the backwash flow is always
higher than the service flow rate.

*All filters require periodic backwashing to dispose of the accumulated debris. This is
accomplished by backwashing clean water through the unit and then disposing of the
effluent. During this phase, the different sizes of media separate into layers, preparing
the filter bed for service. Because backwashing generally occurs at higher flow rates than
those seen in service, oftentimes a proper backwash flow rate is not possible because
the systems are designed for required service flow rates. However, by utilizing smaller
double or triple unit systems, the optimum backwash flow rate is lower; therefore, these
systems operate at higher service flow rates.

Pure Aqua also supplies: Custom Engineered Solutions, Reverse

Osmosis Systems, Water Conditioning, Chemical Dosing Systems,
Ultraviolet (UV) Sterilizers and Ozonation Systems.
