The regenerable water filters category is split into five different categories, each filter with its own removal properties:
carbon filters sand-anthracite filters (also known as multi-media filters) sand filters birm filters and iron removal filters pH neutralising filters
= = = =
gravel support bed 2mm filter sand fine filter sand anthracite
Having the filter media graded this way enables the sand anthracite filter to run for longer times before a backwash is necessary.
a composite pressure vessel a sand-anthracite filter control valve (usually low voltage) graded beds of sand and anthracite
The water filters down through the sand-anthracite filter media, up through a riser tube in the centre of the composite pressure vessel and out through the sand-anthracite filter control valve to service. Periodically, the sand-anthracite filter will backwash, which changes the water flow through the sand-anthracite filter. The water in the backwash cycle flows in from the inlet, down the centre riser tube, up through the sand and anthracite bed, and out of the control valve to drain. The next step in a sand-anthracite filter regeneration cycle is rinse. The water in a rinse cycle of a sandanthracite filter flows as in service, down through the composite pressure vessel and sand-anthracite filter media and up through the centre riser tube, through the sand-anthracite filter control valve and to drain. The sandanthracite filter then returns to its normal service position. Please note that the above relates only to the smaller simplex sand-anthracite filters which we supply. For other types of sand-anthracite filters, such as multi-media filters, duplex sand-anthracite filters, triplex sand-anthracite filters and cartridge sand-anthracite filters, please contact us.
a composite pressure vessel a birm filter control valve usually low voltage birm filter media an eductor system
The water filters down through the birm filter media, up through a riser tube in the centre of the composite pressure vessel and out through the birm filter control valve to service. Oxygen is introduced to the inlet water via an ejector to raise the oxygen level to 15%. This aids the oxidisation of the iron and helps it to precipitate. This, in turn, lets the birm remove the now ferric iron from the water. Periodically, the birm water filter will backwash, which changes the water flow through the birm water filter. The water in the backwash cycle flows in from the inlet, down the centre riser tube, up through the birm media bed and out of the control valve to drain. The next step in a birm iron removal filter regeneration cycle is rinse. The water in a rinse cycle of a birm iron removal filter flows as in service, down through the composite pressure vessel and sand birm filter media, and up through the centre riser tube through the birm filter control valve and to drain. The birm iron removal filter then returns to its normal service position. Please note that the above relates only to the smaller simplex birm or iron removal filters which we supply. For other types of birm or iron removal filters, such as duplex birm or iron removal filters, triplex birm or iron removal filters and cartridge filters, please contact Derwent Water Systems Limited.
How often does an iron removal filter or birm filter require servicing?
All water filters, including iron removal or birm filters, require servicing twice a year to ensure that they are kept in good working order.
of sand filters, such as multi-media filters, duplex sand water filters, triplex sand water filters and cartridge sand filters, please contact us.
a composite pressure vessel a neutralising filter control valve (usually low voltage) neutralising media (Magnadol).
The water filters down through the Magnadol filter media, up through a riser tube in the centre of the composite pressure vessel and out through the neutralising water filter control valve to service. Periodically, the pH neutralising filter will backwash, which changes the water flow through the water filter. The water in the backwash cycle flows in from the inlet down the centre riser tube, up through the Magnadol bed and out of the control valve to drain. The next step in a pH neutralising filter regeneration cycle is rinse. The water in a rinse cycle of a pH neutralising filter flows as in service, down through the composite pressure vessel and Magnadol filter media and up through the centre riser tube through the neutralising filter control valve and to drain. The pH neutralising filter then returns to its normal service position. Please note that the above relates only to the smaller simplex water filters which we supply. For other types of neutralising filters, such as large simplex water filters, duplex water filters, triplex water filters and cartridge neutralisers, please contact us.
