In the filtering method called sand filter or multimedia filter, solid substances such as suspended sediment and mud that cause turbidity in the water are retained by the filter filling. Filter sand of different sizes inside the filter tank provides excellent filtration thanks to its high sediment retention feature.
In water purification systems, a correctly selected sand filter significantly increases the effectiveness of purification. It reduces the load on subsequent systems. Thus, the efficiency of the water purification system as a whole increases. Service life is extended. Total service costs are reduced.
Therefore, in order to operate the further stages of a purification system efficiently, the correct selection and effective operation of a multimedia filter is important. Although a multimedia filter or sand filter may seem like a simple equipment, due to its importance, the correct selection and operation of this equipment in the system is vital for the subsequent equipment.
