    Pressure Sand Filter Media Options

    The equipment i'm looking at is rated at ~30 m3/h when really we only need 24 m3/h, so we have some extra capacity. The water contamination isn't too heavy, it looks relatively colourless (slight green/brown hue) when it jets out of the sample point and when it runs through the rotameters, but...

    Chlorine/Hydrochloric acid completely ruins our product. I guess i'll replace the existing pump with a more powerful version and crack down on the maintenance team.

The water has a high Iron content and as a result, bacteria have caused havoc with the resulting rusty slime reducing the throughput of the system. A lack of...
