ALGAE REMOVAL
Sand media filters are one of the most effective filtration technologies for removing algae from irrigation water, lakes, ponds, reservoirs, and decorative water features because they utilize depth filtration rather than simple surface screening.
Algae in Your Source Water? Everfilt® Has the Filtration Solution
HOW ALGAE FILTRATION WORKS:
When algae-laden water enters the sand media filter vessel, it flows through a bed of carefully selected filter media. As the water passes through the media bed:
-
Individual algae cells become trapped within the media
-
Algae colonies & clumps are captured throughout the depth of the filter
-
Organic debris associated with algae growth is removed
-
Clean water exits through the underdrain system
Unlike screen filters that only capture particles larger than the screen opening, sand media filters capture contaminants throughout the entire media bed, allowing them to effectively remove soft, organic materials such as algae.
WHY SAND MEDIA FILTERS ARE EFFECTIVE FOR ALGAE:
High Dirt-Holding Capacity
-
Sand media filters store contaminants throughout the media depth, allowing longer run times between cleaning cycles
Excellent Organic Solids Removal
-
Algae are lightweight & often deformable
-
The media bed creates multiple pathways that increase the likelihood of capturing algae cells & colonies
Automatic Backwashing
-
As algae accumulates, differential pressure increases
-
The filter automatically backwashes, lifting & cleaning the media bed while flushing captured algae to waste
Common Sources of Algae:
-
Irrigation reservoirs
-
Ponds & lakes
-
Reclaimed water systems
-
Cooling tower basins
-
Decorative fountains & water features
-
Open storage tanks
Benefits for Irrigation Systems:
Removing algae helps:
-
Reduce emitter & drip irrigation clogging
-
Prevent sprinkler nozzle blockage
-
Improve irrigation uniformity
-
Reduce maintenance requirements
-
Protect downstream filtration equipment
-
Improve overall water quality
Benefits for Water Features:
In decorative ponds, fountains, & recirculating systems, algae filtration helps:
-
Improve water clarity
-
Reduce visible suspended algae
-
Minimize debris accumulation
-
Improve performance of UV & chemical treatment systems
-
Reduce maintenance & cleaning frequency
