Internal
Distribution System
The upper/lower collection and distribution system is
constructed of non-corrosive, non-toxic materials such as
ABS and PVC. The dual lateral arrangement provides better
water distribution required for high solid application such
as ornamental ponds and bird/mammal tanks. The dual lateral
design uniformly expands the filter bed during backwashing
providing better cleaning of the bed.
Gauge Panel
Tandem filter systems are supplied with a gauge panel
consisting of two 4.5 diameter pressure gauges, 1-100#
reading every 10 lbs. with 1 lb. increments. Each gauge provides
a manual relief cock and tubing for connection to the influent
and effluent pressure points.
Air Relief
A continuous internal automatic air relief with a debris
strainer is incorporated into the construction of the filter.
Media (Customer Supplied)
Unlike medium recommended for swimming pool application,
medium used in a high solids application should be coarse,
ranging in size from 1 mm to 2 mm. Fine sand medium in the
.45 mm to .55 mm size is too small and is less suitable for
high solids applications. Medium that is coarser reduces the
chance that the filter bed will pack down. However, medium
too large or heavy fights against fluidization during the
backwash process. Each tank requires 800 lbs. of silica sand
(8 cubic feet.)
