Description

Our Water Pre-Treatment FRP 12″ Diameter Glass Filter Media (GFM) Systems with Manual Backwash Head are compact, reliable, and cost-effective filtration systems designed to remove sediment, suspended solids, turbidity, rust particles, and other fine contaminants from water before it enters your main treatment system. These systems are ideal for residential, agricultural, commercial, and light industrial applications where simple operation and dependable performance are essential.

Each filtration system consists of a 12″ diameter Fibreglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) pressure vessel, premium Glass Filter Media (GFM), and a durable manual backwash control head. The manual valve allows the operator to easily perform backwash and rinse cycles, helping to clean the filter media, restore filtration efficiency, and extend the lifespan of the system without requiring electricity or electronic controls.

Glass Filter Media is manufactured from specially processed recycled glass and offers superior filtration performance compared to traditional silica sand. Its angular particle structure captures finer suspended particles, while its smooth, non-porous surface reduces bacterial growth, minimises channeling, and requires less frequent backwashing. This results in cleaner water, reduced water consumption during maintenance, and lower operating costs.

The FRP pressure vessel is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions. Unlike steel tanks, it will not rust or corrode, making it an excellent choice for outdoor installations, coastal environments, borehole water systems, and other demanding applications.
