Horizontal sand filters

Horizontal sand filters are primarily used for water filtration in systems such as pools, aquaculture, and industrial installations. Unlike vertical sand filters, these filters have a horizontal design that allows for more uniform sand distribution and better filtration efficiency over large surface areas.

Key Features:

1. Horizontal Design:

   • Sand is distributed horizontally, allowing for better water flow management.

   • This configuration helps maintain uniform filtration pressure across the entire filter surface.

2. Filtration Efficiency:

   • Ideal for systems with high water flow rates.

   • Sand effectively captures impurities and suspended particles.

   • Used to filter water containing fine particles and debris.

3. Reduced Maintenance:

   • Horizontal filters are designed for easy maintenance, with simplified access to the sand and internal components.

   • Less risk of clogging compared to vertical filters due to the uniform distribution of water and sand.

4. Applications:

   • Used in pool filtration systems, aquaculture installations, water treatment plants, etc.

   • Particularly effective for large installations requiring high water flow and continuous filtration.

5. Materials and Durability:

   • Made from corrosion-resistant materials like fiberglass or stainless steel to ensure long-lasting durability even in harsh conditions.

Horizontal sand filters are known for their consistent performance and ability to handle large water volumes, making them ideal for industrial and aquatic applications where continuous filtration is essential.
