Deep Media Filtration (DRAMMwater)
Deep Media Filters from DRAMMwater filter finer than standard sand filters. When properly designed, these filters can remove particulates as small as 5 to 10 microns, reducing water turbidity, protecting mechanical systems, and even helping to filter some pathogens. DRAMMwater uses various medias, based on the end goal of the filtration system. Unlike sand, one of the most selected medias is VitroClean. This media has a non-crystalline shape, offering less density and more open space between, trapping fine particulates. Because it is a crushed glass, it does not degrade like standard silica sand, greatly reducing the need for replacement due to compaction of the media. With proper backflushing, VitroClean can last for eight to 10 years. DRAMMwater designs every filter system to backflush at the most opportune times, often using multiple, smaller vessels rather than fewer, larger vessels to reduce backflush loads and allow for critical water usage during any backflush event.
