| How it works
1. The rainwater from the connected area is fed into the basal section of the filter housing. The angled inlet generates a radial flow pattern.
2. The hydrodynamic separator converts turbulent waters into a radial laminar flow pattern, generating particle sedimentation, particularly of the sand fraction.
3. This takes place over an inlet to the lower section of the filter shaft. The sediment is retained in a silt trap chamber below the separator. The silt trap needs to be emptied out at intervals.
4. In the central section of the filter housing is the actual filter, Filter Element Roof. The filter element filters out the fine materials in an up-flow process and dissolved materials are precipitated and adsorbed. The filter is back-washed from above. When exhausted the filter is easily exchanged.
5. The filter element is easily pulled up through the shaft opening.
6.Above the filter element is the clean water. It passes via an oil separator and then flows via the outlet into soakaways and so on. |
