Features :
-
Durable FRP Construction: High-strength, food-grade composite and fiberglass filament winding, making it 100% rust-proof and corrosion-resistant.
-
Manual Control Head: Simple, non-electric valve for filter, backwash, and rinse operations, requiring manual turning for cleaning cycles.
-
Standard Size (844): Industry-standard dimensions (approximately 8 inches in diameter by 44 inches in height) with a common 2.5" top opening.
-
High Operating Pressure: Designed to withstand standard residential water pressure (typically up to 150 psi).
-
Media Versatility: Compatible with various filter media for different needs (e.g., Activated Glass Media, Carbon, Resin, Birm, Calcite).

What does it do:
This system forms the core of a robust water filtration system. Depending on the filter media chosen and installed (e.g., Glass Media, Activated Carbon, or Softening Resin), it can effectively:
-
Filter Sediment & Suspended Solids: Removes fine particles (down to 3-5 microns with some media), improving water clarity.
-
Improve Water Quality: Reduces turbidity, unpleasant tastes, and odors (e.g., with Carbon media).
-
Pre-Treat Water: Serves as a crucial pre-filter stage to protect downstream equipment like reverse osmosis (RO) systems or other water appliances.
-
Remove Contaminants: Can be configured to reduce low levels of iron, manganese, or remove hardness (with specific ion-exchange resin media).
-
Requires Manual Backwash: The manual head allows the user to initiate the cleaning cycle (backwash) to flush accumulated dirt and prevent channeling, restoring the filter bed's efficiency.
Good to know:
-
"1T" Capacity: The "1T" often refers to an approximate flow rate capacity of 1 Ton per hour or 1000 Liters Per Hour (LPH), making it suitable for standard residential use.
-
Filter Media Not Included: While the vessel is "Complete" with the head and internal components, the primary filtration media (e.g., Glass Media, Carbon, or Resin) is typically purchased separately based on your water quality requirements.
-
Requires No Electricity: The manual head means there's no need for power, making installation flexible, but it requires the user to manually initiate the backwash cycle regularly.
-
Long-Term Value: FRP vessels have a significantly longer lifespan (10+ years) compared to many other materials, offering excellent long-term water filtration value.

Maintenance:
-
Manual Backwash: The main maintenance task is to perform a manual backwash and rinse cycle, typically once per week or when the system's pressure drop is high, by simply turning the control head's handle. This process cleans the media bed.
-
Media Replacement: The filtration media (e.g., Glass Media, Carbon) will need replacement eventually. High-quality media like Activated Glass can last up to 10-20 years, while Activated Carbon often requires replacement every 1-5 years, depending on water usage and quality.
-
Head Inspection: Periodically check the manual control head for proper function and leaks. The head is relatively simple and robust.
