Description

Our Water Pre-Treatment FRP 13″ Diameter Glass Filter Media (GFM) Systems with Automatic Backwash Head are high-performance, fully automatic filtration systems designed to remove sediment, suspended solids, turbidity, rust particles, and other fine contaminants from water before it enters your primary water treatment system. These systems provide reliable, continuous filtration with minimal maintenance, making them an excellent choice for residential, commercial, agricultural, and light industrial applications.

Each system is supplied complete with a 13″ diameter Fibreglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) pressure vessel, premium Glass Filter Media (GFM), and a high-quality automatic backwash control valve. The programmable valve automatically performs scheduled backwash and rinse cycles, keeping the filter media clean and operating at peak efficiency without manual intervention. This ensures consistent water quality, extends the life of the filter media, and reduces maintenance requirements.

Glass Filter Media is manufactured from specially processed recycled glass and offers superior filtration performance compared to conventional silica sand. Its angular particles capture finer suspended solids, while the smooth, non-porous surface reduces bacterial growth, minimises channeling, and lowers backwash water consumption. The result is cleaner water, greater filtration efficiency, and reduced operating costs.

The FRP pressure vessel is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and designed for years of dependable service. Unlike steel vessels, it will not rust or corrode, making it ideal for outdoor installations, coastal environments, borehole water systems, and other demanding water treatment applications.
