AquaABF Automatic Backwash Filter

auto-backwash-filter

The AquaABF is designed to filter water and backwash filter cells simultaneously during normal operation. By design, the filter bed is divided horizontally into 8 in. or 12 in. (20.3 or 30.5 cm) wide cells. Inlet water floods the sand bed through multiple inlet ports via gravity and flows through the granular media and porous plate. Filtrate passes through the effluent backwash port and into the effluent channel.
