Sand Water Filter for Home or Industry

Description

Water is essential for life, but clean water is essential for healthy living. Whether you are using water for drinking, cooking, industrial processing, irrigation, or bathing, it must be free from suspended particles, sediments, and contaminants. This is where sand water filters come into play. Designed to remove impurities effectively, sand filters are one of the oldest and most reliable water purification technologies used in homes, residential complexes, societies, hotels, commercial buildings, and various industries.

At 3D Aqua Water Treatment Company, we take pride in being one of the leading manufacturers and suppliers of premium-quality sand water filters for borwell water, sea water, river or lake water in India.

🔹 What Is a Sand Water Filter?

A sand water filter is a type of filtration system that uses natural sand or a combination of multiple filter media layers (such as gravel, coarse sand, fine sand, and sometimes activated carbon) to remove suspended solids, turbidity, sediment, rust, and debris from water. It works on the principle of mechanical straining and physical absorption.

Sand filters are typically installed at the entry point of a water supply system to ensure that water entering a home or facility is clean, clear, and free from particulate matter.

🔹 What Does a Sand Filter Remove?

Sand filters are primarily designed to remove physical impurities from water. Here’s what gets removed when water passes through a properly designed sand water filter:

✅ Suspended Particles

Dust, clay, silt, and other suspended materials are effectively removed by the sand layers.

✅ Turbidity

Turbidity, which causes cloudy or murky water, is reduced by filtering out particles that scatter light.

✅ Rust and Iron Particles

Sand filters trap rust flakes and metallic debris from old or corroded pipes.

✅ Algae and Organic Debris

Biological materials like algae and plant residue are trapped in the filter layers.

✅ Sediments and Fine Grains

Fine grains from underground water sources or municipal supplies are blocked efficiently.

While sand filters do not remove bacteria, viruses, or dissolved chemicals (like chlorine or fluoride), they are an ideal first-line filtration stage before water enters finer purification systems like RO or UV.

🔹 Where Can Sand Filters Be Used?

Sand water filters are versatile and scalable, making them suitable for a wide range of applications:

• Homes & Apartments
  Ideal for domestic water supply, especially in regions with high turbidity or well water use.

• Housing Societies & Residential Complexes
  Ensures clean water for hundreds of users from a central overhead tank system.

• Hotels & Resorts
  Improves guest experience by providing crystal-clear water in showers, pools, and taps.

• Factories & Industries
  Used for pre-treatment in process water, cooling systems, or effluent reuse.

• Hospitals & Schools
  Provides hygienic water for large institutions where health is critical.

• Agriculture & Irrigation
  Prevents clogging in irrigation systems by removing sand and silt.

🔹 How to Calculate the Volume of a Sand Filter?

Choosing the right size of a sand filter is crucial to ensure optimal performance. Here’s how you can calculate the volume of a sand filter:

Step 1: Determine the Flow Rate

Know the average flow rate you need (in Liters Per Hour or LPH). This could be based on household usage or industrial needs.

Step 2: Select Filter Surface Area

Volume = π × r² × h
Where:

• π = 3.1416

• r = Radius of the tank (in meters)

• h = Height of the sand bed (in meters)

Example Calculation:
If the tank has a diameter of 0.6m and sand height is 1m:

• Radius = 0.3m

• Volume = 3.1416 × (0.3)² × 1 ≈ 0.283 m³ = 283 Liters of sand

This will help you choose the correct filter size and know how much sand to fill.

🔹 Where to Buy Filter Sand?

Filter sand is a special-grade silica sand used in filtration. Not all sand is suitable, as common river or construction sand can contain impurities and uneven grains.

✅ You can buy quality filter sand from:

• 3D Aqua Water Treatment Company
  We provide pre-washed, graded, and ready-to-use filter media.
  Contact us for custom filter media packs.

• Authorized Water Treatment Dealers
  Ensure that the media is certified for drinking water use.

• Online Suppliers (Amazon/Indiamart)
  Look for brands that mention NSF or ISO certification.

• Local Water Treatment Stores
  Visit a physical store to check grain size and uniformity.

🔹 How to Maintain a Sand Water Filter?

Maintenance is simple and helps keep the filter running smoothly for years.

🧼 Backwashing

Run water in reverse to clean the sand bed. Do this every week or when pressure drops.

🛠 Replace Media Periodically

Typically, media lasts 3–5 years depending on water quality.

🔧 Check for Pressure Loss

Keep an eye on inlet and outlet pressure to ensure there’s no clogging.

🧪 Test Water Regularly

Test filtered water for turbidity and clarity. If quality drops, clean or replace sand.

🔹 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

❓ Is a sand filter enough for drinking water?

No. A sand filter removes suspended solids but not bacteria or dissolved chemicals. Use it as a pre-filtration stage before an RO or UV system.

❓ How long does filter sand last?

On average, 3 to 5 years, depending on water quality and usage.

❓ How do I know when to backwash?

If there’s a noticeable pressure drop, or the water becomes cloudy, it’s time to backwash.

❓ Can it be used for borewell or well water?

Yes. In fact, sand filters are highly recommended for borewell water, which usually contains a lot of mud and silt.

❓ What sizes are available?

We offer units from 100 LPH to 100,000 LPH with both manual and automatic operation.
