The Hydro-Flo Multi Media Filter is specifically designed to polish the effluent of our upstream treatment equipment.
Greater solids loading and/or finer particle removal can be achieved by using alternate media beds. Special media
is selected per application to achieve the highest quality effluent while sustaining low-pressure drop.
Polishing filters remove suspended solids and sediment from the waste stream. Raw water enters each cell, passes
through a selected media bed where suspended solids are filtered out. Filtered water leaves each cell and continues
out through the filtered water valve. The filtration process is automatic with raw water being fed to the system
using a feed pump.
Captured solids are backwashed one cell at a time per operator input, differential pressure or a timed basis. Backwash
is achieved by using the filtered raw water from two (2) of the filtered cells and diverting over to the remaining
cell. All cells are backwashed in sequence. The filtration process will continue while in the backwash cycle. An
independent backwash water supply is not required.
Common applications:
• Iron precipitate
• Inclined Plate Clarifier carryover
• Pre-carbon treatment
• Cooling water
