The contaminated sand is pumped to the washing device where is continuously washed using a small fraction of already filtrated water, that is then collected to a separate outlet.

Both options offer long-lasting performance and low maintenance costs. Quartz sand is known for its chemical stability, lack of impurities, and mechanical strength, making it an efficient and durable water purification material. It has a high pollutant interception ability, low operating cost, and is suitable for single-layer, double-layer filter tanks, and ion exchangers. On the other hand, anthracite is lighter than sand and resistant to chemicals, making it suitable for dual media filters. It is effective in removing suspended solids and turbidity, and its high carbon content makes it ideal for biofilm treatment. Silica sand offers benefits such as durability, mechanical strength, and chemical inertness, reducing the need for frequent replacement and lowering maintenance costs. In summary, both quartz sand and anthracite provide efficient and long-lasting filtration solutions, each with its own unique advantages for water treatment applications.<\/p>\n<p>Tertiary Filtration of Wastewater or Self-Cleaning Continuous Sand Filters Maintenance: <strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Quartz Sand or Anthracite (high-quality and durable\/long-lasting).<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CONTINUOUS SELF CLEANING SAND FILTER Continuous operation thanks to sand washing device, no stopping for back-washing required.
