Description
Our Water Pre-Treatment FRP 13″ Diameter Carbon Filter Media Systems with Manual Backwash Head are reliable and cost-effective filtration solutions designed to improve water quality by removing chlorine, unpleasant tastes and odours, organic compounds, and other contaminants before water enters your main treatment system. These compact systems are ideal for residential, light commercial, and agricultural applications where dependable pre-treatment and simple operation are required.
Each system consists of a durable 13-inch diameter Fibreglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) pressure vessel, premium activated carbon filter media, and a manual backwash control head. The manual valve allows the user to easily perform backwashing and rinsing, helping to clean the filter media, restore filtration efficiency, and extend the service life of the system without the need for electricity or automatic controls.
The corrosion-resistant FRP pressure vessel is lightweight, rust-proof, and designed for years of dependable service in both indoor and outdoor environments. Activated carbon effectively adsorbs chlorine, organic compounds, and taste- and odour-causing substances, producing cleaner, fresher, and better-tasting water while protecting downstream equipment such as reverse osmosis membranes, UV sterilisers, water softeners, and pumps.
These compact filtration systems are an excellent solution for homes, borehole water installations, small businesses, guest houses, restaurants, workshops, and other applications requiring efficient water pre-treatment.
