Multi-Media System

The unique Aquaco Multi-Media filtration system removes suspended solids and micro-organisms and has:

• 4 layers of natural, long lasting, inert media with:

    • Increasing density
    • Decreasing particle sizes
    • Specific shape factor
    • Mechanical retention
    • Surface bacterial adsorption
    • Self-levelling

• A natural positive charge attracting bacteria such as Legionella and Cryptosporidium
• A uniquely small footprint
• A low energy consumption
• A 15 year guarantee on the media lifespan

Benefits:

  • More cost-effective with smaller footprint than most membrane filtration or sand filter systems
  • Minimal use of chemicals
  • Warranties
  • Naturally mined media
  • Low volume of water for backwash
  • Low whole of life cost
  • Simple annual maintenance
  • A beneficial alternative to membrane filtration and cheaper in systems over 6,000 litres per day if underground or 3,000 lpd if above ground
  • Generally filters suspended solids to 0.5 micron depending on influent.
  • Fully automated backwash
  • Integral self cleaning backwash system
  • Deals with contaminate concentrations of up to 500 mg/litre - filtering to less than 0.5 NTU (officially classified as "ultra-clear")
