Horizontal Commercial Sand Filter Made of Polyester Reinforced with Fiberglass

Horizontal Sand Filter
Horizontal sand filters are made of polyester reinforced with fiberglass; they are anti-corrosive and have high mechanical, chemical, and thermal resistance, higher quality water is achieved with their greater filtering capacity. Indexes of turbidity and contaminants of the filtered water are reduced due to their increased retention capacity, and the time between back washed increases proportionally with the height of the filter bed, meaning there are fewer interruptions in filtration, and lower water consumption because the number of backwashes needed is decreased and there is less erosion of the filtering material.

A horizontal filter is an ideal choice in cases where a great volume of water is to be treated, and in cases that require optimization of the available space, as a single horizontal filter can be suitable for up to 3 vertical filters of the same diameter simply by increasing its length.
