Sand And Gravel

Sand

The UltRATEC Sand Water Filtration System provides a reliable and affordable solution for removing suspended solids and impurities from water sources such as rivers, lakes, ponds, and wells. Using the natural filtration properties of sand, it improves water clarity without the need for chemicals or advanced technologies.

Sand filters are used as a step in the water filter process of water purification. There are three main types: rapid (gravity) sand filters, upward flow sand filters, and slow sand filters. All three methods are used extensively in the water industry throughout the world.

The first two require the use of flocculant chemicals to work effectively while slow sand filters can produce very high-quality water free from pathogens, taste, and odor without the need for chemical aids. Sand filters can, apart from being used in water treatment plants, be used for water purification in singular households as they use materials which are available for most people.

Key Features:

Made from corrosion-resistant plastic and stainless steel for durability
Filter bed dimensions are 36″ x 36″ x 24″ to accommodate fluctuating flow rates
Graded silica sand filter media removes particles down to 5 microns
Backwash system clears filter as needed using air scouring and water flushing
Inlet and outlet ports include control valves for simple operation
Flow meter monitors performance and notifies when backwashing is required
Underbed stainless steel support grid distributes water evenly
Skid frame assembly mounts entire unit as one portable piece

Benefits

Improves water quality for uses like irrigation, boiler feed, or drinking water

Gravel

The UltRATEC Gravel Water Filtration System offers a cost-effective physical filtration option for pre-treating water prior to disinfection or additional filtration processes. Using multiple layers of carefully graded gravel and sand media, it harnesses the basic principles of surface filtration to remove suspended solids and particles from raw water sources.

Filter gravel is used as a support media to filter sand and coal in water filters. For maximum efficiency, filter gravel must possess the necessary attributes of hardness and be rounded rather than angular.

How it Works:

Water enters the bottom of the filtration tank and flows upwards through layers of washed gravel ranging from 3/8″ to 1/4″ in diameter. Smaller 1/8″ gravel and filter sand rest above to capture finer sediments.

As water percolates through this multi-media filter, solids become trapped on the surfaces and in pore spaces between the gravel chips. This pre-treats water in a passive, gravity-driven process without chemicals or active components.

Key Features:

304 grade stainless steel tank for corrosion resistance
Gravel support grate distributes flow evenly
Inlet shut-off and drain valves for maintenance
Flow meter monitors performance over time
Filtered water collection trough
Compact 48″x24″ footprint for space-saving installation

Benefits:

Improves turbidity and TSS removal prior to disinfection
Gravel acts as a biological site for beneficial organisms
Low cost compared to manufactured filter media
Simple installation and operation require little training
Self-cleaning process does not generate backwash water
Durable construction suitable for outside placement
With the UltRATEC Gravel Filter, municipalities, camps, farms, and more can easily pre-treat raw surface waters
economically and with minimal chemical usage. This natural filtration technique represents a reliable first stage of water treatment producing clearer water.

Applications include pre-filtration for wells, cisterns, irrigation sources, and more. Get clear, cleaner water through a hassle-free, gravity-driven process.

Filter Gravel is a hard, round, predominantly quartz aggregate. The filter gravel, like filter sand, contains hard durable particles with a slow breakdown rate. This helps to prolong filter media life.
