This Horizontal Filter is a high-performance space saver; its compact horizontal design allows for installation in minimal space.
The shape of the Horizontal Filter is both attractive and functional. The spherical ends are designed to ensure uniform flow from the inlet and outlet collector assemblies. Horizontal filters are available with a 500 mm filter bed.
Side loop configuration system available across the entire range of horizontal fiberglass filters. Traditional horizontal filtration systems consist of straight pipes with laterals running along the length of the horizontal filter.
All of these filters are wound (fiberglass) sand filters.
