Filtration methods

The three filtration methods are screen, disc, and media.

Screen Disc Media
Water passes through a screen cylinder.
The water passes from the inside to the outside of the screen element within the filter.
Water passes through a disc cartridge, which is a set of stacked grooved discs.
The water passes from the outside to the inside of the disc cartridge within the filter.
Water passes through media (gravel). The media itself provides the filtration medium.
Water flows from the top of the filter, down through the media, and through either “arm collectors” or “mushroom diffusers”.
     
Screen Disc Media
Water passes through a screen cylinder.
The water passes from the inside to the outside of the screen element within the filter
Water passes through a disc cartridge, which is a set of stacked grooved discs.
The water passes from the outside to the inside of the disc cartridge within the filter.
Water passes through media (gravel). The media itself provides the filtration medium.
Water flows from the top of the filter, down through the media, and through either “arm collectors” or “mushroom diffusers”
     

 

Additionally, we include hydrocyclone sand separators in the category of filters, although they cannot work alone. They only remove sand, and you still require one of the primary filtration methods above.
