Waterco Micron Sand Media Filter

Description

Proven Strength and Durability

Micron fibreglass filters embody the latest in fibreglass winding technology. Micron fibreglass vessels
consist of an inner shell of fiberglass reinforced polyester resin wound over with fibreglass filament.
Waterco’s digitally controlled filament winding machine faultlessly winds continuous strands of high-
quality fibreglass filament under controlled tension filament to create a seamless one-piece vessel
with refined consistency and superior quality. There are no welds or seams or special tank linings
which can corrode or electrolyse.

Micron filters operate based on “depth filtration”; dirt is driven through the filter bed and trapped in
minute spaces between the particles of filter media allowing the cleansed water to pass through the
filter’s laterals and exit via the filter’s Multiport valve.

The effectiveness and efficiency of the filter is impaired by excessive build-up of debris, clogging the
media, which will result in pressure build up and poor circulation. Cleaning the filter simply requires
turning the filter’s Multiport lever from the “filter” position to the “backwash” position, which
reverses the flow of water in the filter, flushing the filter bed.
