Upflow filters

 

How it works

  • An up-flow filter has four layers of filtration media, each of different size and density

  • Fine media (1.6 mm) lies at at the top of the filter bed.  Media become progressively larger in the lower layers.

  • Larger suspended particles are removed by the lower layers while smaller particles are removed in the upper layers

Advantages

  • Particles are trapped throughout the bed, not in just the top few inches.

  • Runs substantially longer and uses less backwash water than a traditional sand filter

  • Uses air for back-wash bed agitation, reducing water requirement further
