Waterco commercial water filters
Top view.
Waterco has introduced a looped lateral configuration for its entire range
of commercial horizontal fibreglass filters. Conventional horizontal filter lateral systems
consist of straight piping fitted with laterals along the length of the horizontal filter. A
conventional lateral system results in uneven fluidisation of the filter media bed. The
beginning of the lateral system experiences a strong flow of water, which gradually decreases
along the length of the lateral piping. Backwash flow also decreases towards the end of each
lateral, resulting in non-uniform lifting of the filter media bed.
Waterco has vastly improved the hydraulic efficiency its horizontal filter lateral system by
looping its horizontal filter's distributors and laterals. A looped distribution / lateral
system provide a more natural flow of water through the filter than a conventional lateral
system. A balanced water flow over the filter media bed's surface ensures optimum water
filtration and a more balanced fluidisation of the filter media bed is achieved during backwashing.
Its individual laterals are shortened while maintaining media bed coverage, reducing the friction
head loss of each lateral and further improving the filter's hydraulic backwash efficiency.
Waterco's looped lateral system reduces backwash run times, saves water and produces flatter
more uniform media bed after backwashing.
