The MD horizontal sand filters, offered by Aquaculture France, are filtration equipment specifically designed for the needs of aquaculture, fish farming, shellfish farming, aquariums, and ponds. These filters are made from fiberglass, with no metal parts, making them particularly suitable for aquatic environments sensitive to corrosion.
Horizontal Design: Their horizontal shape allows for uniform water distribution through the filtration media, optimizing filtration efficiency.
Fiberglass Construction: The fiberglass construction ensures increased resistance to harsh environmental conditions and long service life.
Side Loop Configuration: This specific configuration allows optimal water circulation through the filter, ensuring consistent filtration performance.
Versatile Applications: These filters are suitable for a wide range of applications, including filtration systems for pools, aquariums, ponds, and aquaculture installations.
Easy Maintenance: Designed for simplified maintenance, these filters provide easy access to internal components, reducing maintenance costs and time.
In summary, the MD horizontal sand filters offer an efficient, durable, and easy-to-maintain filtration solution that meets the specific needs of professional aquatic environments.

This Horizontal Filter is a space-saving performer; its compact horizontal design allows for installation with 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 collection sets. Horizontal filters are available with a 500 mm filter bed.
Side-loop configuration system for the entire range of horizontal fiberglass filters. Classic horizontal filtration systems consist of straight pipes with laterals along the length of the horizontal filter.
All these filters are coiled sand filters.
