In terms of working principle

it adopts the “gravity filtration + backwash regeneration” mode: Raw water enters from the top and flows downward through the filter layer composed of quartz sand with varying particle sizes at a flow rate of 5-10 m/h (fine sand in the upper layer traps small particles, while coarse sand in the lower layer provides support and traps large particles). Impurities such as sediment, algae, and suspended colloids in the water are adsorbed or mechanically trapped by the pores between sand grains. The clarified water is collected and discharged through the pebble bed at the bottom (which prevents sand loss). When the resistance of the filter layer increases and the effluent turbidity exceeds the standard, backwashing is performed by reverse water flow (or air-water mixture). The impact of water flow loosens the sand layer, and the trapped contaminants are discharged with wastewater, quickly restoring the filtering capacity. The backwash time usually only takes 5-10 minutes.

Application scenarios

Application scenarios are very extensive: In the industrial field, it is used for side filtration of circulating cooling water and purification of machine tool cooling fluid; in municipal applications, it serves as pre-treatment for secondary water supply in residential areas and turbidity control of fountain landscape water; in agriculture, it is suitable for filtering irrigation water sources to prevent clogging of drip irrigation pipes; it is also commonly used for preliminary purification in small swimming pools and car wash water recycling systems, reducing the load for subsequent advanced treatment (such as activated carbon adsorption and disinfection). Due to its simple operation (with manual or semi-automatic control of backwashing) and low maintenance cost (only requiring regular replenishment of filter media), it is widely used in small and medium-sized water treatment scenarios.
