Flexible Media Options for Different Filtration Needs
Micron W & WD filters can be configured with different filtration media depending on the required water-treatment application, from physical sediment filtration to more specialised water conditioning.
- Graded River Silica Sand – Provides physical filtration for sediment and suspended solids.
- Glass Pearl – Designed for superior water clarity, filtration down to 3 microns and up to 20% less backwash water.
- ZeoPlus – Helps with ammonia and chlorine odour removal while providing enhanced physical filtration.
- GAC-Plus – Designed for taste and odour removal, partial chlorine removal and easy backwashing.
- DMI-Plus – Specialised catalytic media designed for iron, manganese and arsenic removal.
Media selection and specialised multi-media arrangements should be matched to the intended water-treatment application.
Frequently Asked Questions
What filtration media can be used with Micron W & WD filters?
Waterco offers several media configurations depending on the water-treatment requirement, including graded silica sand, Glass Pearl, ZeoPlus, GAC-Plus, DMI-Plus and specialised multi-media arrangements.
How is a Micron filter cleaned?
Routine cleaning is performed using the multiport valve. Moving the valve from Filter to Backwash reverses the water flow through the media bed and flushes accumulated contaminants to waste.
