Shallow Sand Filter

Description Of Shallow Sand Filter

The shallow sand Filter is composed of one or more standard high-speed sand tank units. It is equipped with a unique water distributor and water collector, and has a unique automatic flushing valve, which can realize the operation of multiple standard high-speed sand tanks during normal system operation. Cylinders are individually backwashed one by one, fully automatic program controlled.

Features Of Shallow Sand Filter

1.Shallow sand filter use a single medium, usually quartz sand. They have a relatively shallow filter bed, and as water flows through the sand layer, suspended solids are trapped, achieving a filtering effect.

2.These filters have relatively low filtration accuracy compare with multi sand filters and suitable for removing larger suspended solids such as sand and algae.

3.They have a simple structure, low operating and maintenance costs, and suitable for scenarios with large water volumes but less stringent water quality requirements.

Applications Of Shallow Sand Filters

1.Agricultural irrigation: Used to remove sediment and suspended solids from water sources, protecting irrigation equipment.

2.Recirculating water systems: Suitable for applications such as cooling water and swimming pools where high filtration precision is not required.

3.Pre-treatment stage: Used as a pre-filter in multi-stage filtration systems to reduce the load on subsequent equipment.
