Single-layer sand filters<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0consist of a single filtering bed, generally made of sand with a\u00a0<\/span>nominal grain size<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0between 0.4 and 0.9 mm.<\/span><\/p>\n

A sand\u00a0<\/span>underbed<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0with a larger grain size may be used to protect the\u00a0<\/span>diffusers or plates<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0located at the bottom of the filter.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a single-layer system, impurities are mainly concentrated in the first 10\u201315 cm of the filter media. This may require more frequent\u00a0<\/span>backwashing<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0to restore the filter’s proper efficiency.<\/span><\/p>\n

This system can reach a filtration capacity of approximately\u00a0<\/span>30 microns<\/span><\/strong>. To achieve high water quality, it may be necessary to use\u00a0<\/span>flocculants<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0and maintain a filtration speed suitable for the system’s specifications.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=”fadeInRight” width=”1\/3″ el_class=”margine_mobile30″ css=”.vc_custom_1784810599447{margin-right: 12px !important;margin-left: 12px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”501″ alignment=”center” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle” equal_height=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1784810680277{margin-top: 70px !important;}”][vc_column css_animation=”fadeInRight” width=”2\/3″ el_class=”dx” css=”.vc_custom_1784810659474{margin-right: 12px !important;margin-left: 12px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”” text_transform=”uppercase”]\n

Multi-layer Sand Filters<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” border_width=”2″ el_width=”20″ css=”.vc_custom_1680595623576{margin-top: 15px !important;}” accent_color=”#81caca”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1784811185959{margin-top: 30px !important;}”]\n

Multi-layer sand filters<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0are composed of multiple layers of\u00a0<\/span>filtering minerals<\/span><\/strong>, differing in grain size and\u00a0<\/span>specific gravity<\/span><\/strong>, supported by a gravel underbed that protects the diffusion elements.<\/span><\/p>\n

The layers are arranged to distribute impurities throughout the entire height of the filter media, limiting accumulation on the surface.<\/span><\/p>\n

This configuration allows you to:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Reach a filtration capacity of up to approximately\u00a0<\/span>5 microns<\/span><\/strong>;<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Promote the removal of\u00a0<\/span>turbidity and suspended solids<\/span><\/strong>;<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Reduce rapid\u00a0<\/span>surface clogging<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0of the filter media;<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Decrease\u00a0<\/span>water consumption<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0during backwashing;<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Limit or avoid the use of\u00a0<\/span>flocculants<\/span><\/strong>, depending on the system’s conditions.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The\u00a0<\/span>filtration speed<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0can reach 50 m\/h, depending on the filter and the technical characteristics of the plant.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=”fadeInLeft” width=”1\/3″ el_class=”margine_mobile30″ css=”.vc_custom_1784810663859{margin-right: 12px !important;margin-left: 12px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”502″ alignment=”center” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1784810766798{margin-top: 70px !important;}”][vc_column css_animation=”fadeInLeft” width=”2\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1784810752526{margin-right: 12px !important;margin-left: 12px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”” text_transform=”uppercase”]\n

    Diatomaceous Earth (DE) Filters<\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” border_width=”2″ el_width=”20″ css=”.vc_custom_1680595623576{margin-top: 15px !important;}” accent_color=”#81caca”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1784810790363{margin-top: 30px !important;}”]\n

    Diatomaceous Earth filters<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0use a siliceous fossil flour distributed over the surface of specific filter elements. The thin layer formed this way traps impurities and helps achieve particularly\u00a0<\/span>clear and crystalline water<\/span><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Thanks to the low\u00a0<\/span>filtration speed<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0(generally between 5 and 6 m\/h), this system can reach a filtering capacity of approximately\u00a0<\/span>0.5\u20131 micron<\/span><\/strong>, typically without requiring the use of flocculants.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Furthermore, cleaning the filter generally results in\u00a0<\/span>lower water consumption<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0compared to a traditional sand filter.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=”fadeInRight” width=”1\/3″ el_class=”margine_mobile30″ css=”.vc_custom_1784810743932{margin-right: 12px !important;margin-left: 12px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”503″ alignment=”center” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1784810891562{margin-top: 70px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1784810902463{margin-right: 12px !important;margin-left: 12px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”” text_transform=”uppercase” text_align=”center”]\n

    Which filter should you choose?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” border_width=”2″ el_width=”20″ css=”.vc_custom_1680595623576{margin-top: 15px !important;}” accent_color=”#81caca”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1784810975152{margin-top: 30px !important;}”]\n

    Every system has different characteristics in terms of\u00a0<\/span>filtration capacity, maintenance, consumption, and usage<\/span><\/strong>. The choice must be made by considering the\u00a0<\/span>pool size<\/span><\/strong>, the\u00a0<\/span>system’s flow rate<\/span><\/strong>, and the desired\u00a0<\/span>water quality<\/span><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n
