If the water applied to a filter is of very good quality, the filter runs can be very long. Some filters can operate longer than one week before needing to be backwashed. However, this is not recommended as long filter runs

But its filtrate quality is much better than the rapid sand filter, since its filter media is finer than the rapid sand filter and its zeta potential is much close to zero than sand. Manufacture & Export of
Read more...Rapid sand filters are cleaned by backwashing and surface washing. Filter media may be sand, or layers involving anthracite coal, sand, and garnet. Filter efficiency is typically monitored using effluent turbidity, particle counters, and filter run time. Problems associated with filters include mudballs, breakthroughs, and air binding.
