Domestic water used for drinking, washing or cleaning, whether flowing from a mains supply or private well can sometimes be turbid and contain sediment, sand or clay.
To eliminate this problem it is necessary to install a Sand/Turbidity filter.
Over the years we have developed effective and inexpensive methods of sediment filtration which are outlined below:
Sand/Turbidity Column Filters
The Sand / Turbidity Column filter works by a simple process of mechanically filtering the incoming water supply through a series of differing grades of silica sand.
Sediment is trapped within the sand until a backwash is performed.
The Automatic valve which is mounted on the column will perform a backwash as often as programmed.
During this backwa 
sh stage, the water cycle is reversed and all of the sediment is washed out to a drain thus, the Sand / Turbidity Column filter is returned to full filtration capacity. Below are some of the options available:
| Vessel Size | 10 x 44 | 10 x 54 | 13 x 54 | 16 x 65 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Valve Type | 263-740 | 263-740 | 263-740 | 263-740 |
| Service flow rate – m3/hr | 0.4 | 0.6 | 1.0 | 1.6 |
| Backwash flow rate – m3/hr | 0.7 | 1.1 | 2.0 | 3.4 |
| Inlet / Outlet Connections | ¾ “ | ¾ “ | 1″ | 1″ |
| Drain line connection | ¾ “ | ¾ “ | ¾ “ | ¾ “ |
