pressure sand filter consists of a pressure vessel-this

The Pressure sand filter is now taken out of service and cleaning of the filter is effected by flow reversal. To assist in cleaning the bed, the backwash operation is often preceded by air agitation through the under drain system. The process of air scouring agitates the sand with a scrubbing action, which loosens the intercepted particles. The filter is now ready to be put back into service. Picture Low Flow PSF (FRP Vessel) and High flow custom Vessel (MS Vessel) Advantages and Features 1. Efficient Turbidity and TSS Removal 2. Filter up to 20 30 Microns 3. FRP, CS, MSEP, SS Vessel available 4. ASME Pressure Vessel is also available 5. Standard and effective silica quartz sand media 6. Low Pressure drop across the vessel Air scouring available for high flow pressure sand filter vessel pipes from the pool are blocked off or restricted. Also the isolating ball valves could be partially turned off or blocked with debris, or even a blocked filter basket in the pump to a blocked pump chamber or impellor inside the pump, or finally a restricted inlet to the multiport fitted to the filter. Further investigation will be needed to find the reasons. If the plantroom is below water level, make sure you can isolate the pool totally including any returns and that the ball valves are installed in the correct direction. If the pump appears to be the problem and you need help with your investigations, please use the Contact Page to book an appointment for a PSP engineer to visit.

Water is pushed through a bed of filter sand and removed through a set of lateral tubes at the bottom.
