Reverse osmosis (RO) systems get a lot of credit when it comes to clean water, and sure, they're effective. But behind every high-performing RO system is a solid pre-treatment setup doing the heavy lifting. Enter: multi-media filters.

Industrial water filtration systems are at the heart of manufacturing, production, and wastewater treatment. Whether you’re filtering process water, cooling tower water, or wastewater effluent, efficiency comes down to how well you manage your equipment and filtration media.

When you’re setting up a water filtration system, most people focus on the type of media they’re using, activated carbon, Greensand™, DMI-65®, whatever does the job.

When it comes to media filtration systems, too many DIYers and even seasoned operators get cocky, tossing in random sand or gravel like they’re making a backyard zen garden.

When setting up a tank or filtration system, it might be tempting to think that any type of sand or gravel will work.

The size of your water filtration tank directly affects the contact time between water and the filtration media.
