Technical FAQ

Questions before selection

When should media filtration be used?

It is commonly selected where surface water contains algae, organic matter or suspended solids that require depth filtration.

What media is specified?

The agricultural MUT and WAT tables identify quartz sand. Particle size and bed depth depend on the listed model group.

What is the working pressure?

The PDF lists 0.2-0.4 MPa for MUT units and 0.8 MPa for the WAT bank table.

Can media filtration be combined with disc filtration?

Yes. Media filtration can serve as pretreatment before a precision disc-filtration stage.
