Features :
• Higher specific velocity.
• Raw water can be used for backwashing the filter.

Advantages :
• Higher specific flow rate than conventional down flow filters thereby saving on Space & cost.
• Very little maintenance required.
• Lower backwash water requirement.
• In most cases, raw water can be used for backwash.

Applications :
• The Multigrade sand filters filter is an ideal choice for all applications where a conventional sand filter is used.
• It is extensively used in side stream filtration of cooling water & in potable water treatment.
• It is ideal for filtration of clarified water.
• In addition it finds application in sea water filtration & in filtration of chemical solutions.
• For these types of filtrations rubber lined or epoxy painted filters can be offered.
