Sand Filter
A sand filter is a water treatment system that uses layers of sand to remove impurities and particles from water. It works by allowing water to flow through the sand, where dirt and debris are trapped, resulting in cleaner water. Sand filters are commonly used in swimming pools, aquariums, and municipal water treatment facilities.
These filters are effective because the sand grains create a large surface area for capturing contaminants. Regular maintenance, such as backwashing, is necessary to keep the filter functioning properly. Sand filters are an essential part of ensuring safe and clean water for various applications, including drinking water and wastewater treatment.
