What is a sand filter and what is its use?

The bodies of sand filters are made of galvanized steel or fibreglass. By filtering the water, they remove suspended particles and physical impurities from the water. Among the common sand filters in homes, we can mention refrigerator water filters and pre-filters of household water purifiers, which have the efficiency of removing suspended particles and can absorb coarse particles, providing video clean water for consumption. These types of filters prevent the passage of all types of pollution by having a part that contains sand and silica. The application of sand filters includes the following.

• Water clarification of pools
• Return water treatment from the cooling tower
• Water purification of the fish breeding pond
• Drinking and industrial water filter (urban and industrial water treatment)
• Purification and filtering of industrial and human wastewater

What is a cartridge filter and what is its use?

Cartridge filters are made of fibreglass. They make the water clear and transparent and are mostly used in therapeutic pools and have high efficiency and effectiveness. These filters are cylindrical tanks that can remove suspended particles in water and other fluids. The advantages of cartridge filters include the following.

• Equipped with drain valve for easy service and maintenance
• It has a small volume compared to sand filters and so on
• Resistant to corrosion and weather changes
• It has a large cartridge with high water permeability
• Very high water purification power

What is a diatom filter and what is its use?

Diatomaceous earth has a delicate and complex structure and is composed of very fine siliceous sediments. The diatom filter has special properties such as low weight, high specific surface area, and great absorption power, and compared to the sand filter, it has more absorption of suspended particles and makes the water clearer and clearer, and it is used in swimming pools and large projects. The application of sand filters includes the following.

• A diatom filter is used to create high transparency in pool water.
• It is used to purify pool water in high maintenance and service conditions.
• Its body is made of fibreglass.
• The water flow rate passing through the diatom pool filter is higher than the allowed flow rate in sand filters.
• It is possible to install semi-automatic multi-mode valves on the diatom filters of the pool.
• The ability to open the filter tank from the middle, for easy service and maintenance of the diatom filter
