Sediment Filtration Systems

Many Water Treatment processes rely on media filtration to remove solids from the  water.

Our team at Aquastream can help you design, size, manufacture and assemble the right system for your application. Whether single or multi-vessel design, small or large, we have the ability to deliver the right product.

We can also help you with pump sizing, post and pre-treatment knowledge and other information

Benefits

• Excellent sediment/particulate reduction
• Automatic regeneration - Timer or Flow activation
• Any design configuration
• Long service life
• Low maintenance

For removal of suspended solids under 5 Micron

Iron Removal Systems

Iron Removal Systems are designed to reduce the level of iron, manganese, hydrogen and sediment through an ion exchange process. Iron levels up to 28ppm are treatable.

These systems are available with 3/4" up to 6"connections with manual, semi auto and fully automatic regeneration clocks. Enjoy the benefits of water free from rust, stains and metallic tastes.

Suitable for whole of house filtration and commercial & industrial applications.

Valves and Accessories

Valves are used in conjunction with FRP Vessel filtration systems including Multi-media Filters and Softeners and De-ionisers. These valves direct the flow of water through the filter system to provide backwashing of the media.

Aquastream stocks a large range of Autotrol and Fleck valves.

These valves can be mounted on top of the vessel and also side mounted where space is an issue. We can help you choose the correct valve for your application and supply you with all the accessories to suit. Please call 1800 446 500 to speak to one of our trained staff.

Autotrol Valves

Autotrol Valves are one of the leading brands on the market.  These valves are suitable for use in many water treatment applications including Media Filtration, Softening systems, de-ionising systems and more....

Options include Timer Activated Backwash, Flow Activated Backwash, Softener and filter cycles, operator programable Logix Controllers for customised backwash options.

Advanced Tubidity and Suspended Solids Reduction

AFM Glass Media

What is AFM?

AFM is an Activated Filter Media, manufactured and activated by Dryden Aqua under ISO procedures to have a high negative Zeta potential and catalytic self-sterilising properties. AFM is manufactured from reprocessed glass, but it is not a basic crushed glass filter media. AFM is a highly processed product which has been tested by independent UK Government laboratories and the water industry and has been certified as safe to use for all water filtration applications. FIlter sand has by-passed the regulations because it was in use before the regulations were in place. However man-made filtration products are not exempt, and AFM is the only filtration media that is in compliance with the regulations and is safe to use for applications such as drinking water, swimming pools and aquaria. A basic crushed glass product does not have the surface active properties, there will be a hydraulic lense effect which leads to channelling, there are also serious health implications for the public and contractors from using a basic crushed glass product.

How it works?

The surface of AFM exhibits catalytic activity in the presence of oxygen. A proportion of the dissolved oxygen molecules are disassociated on the surface of AFM which increases the oxidation potential of the media. The surface of AFM is therefore is self-sterilising. The zeta potential generates a high charge density, which attracts positively charged particles, but at the same time the slip zone prevents the particles from reaching the surface of the media. AFM therefore attracts solids, and holds on to them, but they are prevented from bonding to the surface. The self cleaning properties mean that the media is just as effective in treating waste water such as sewage effluent as it is in treating clean water because the media does not become biofouled.

Why Use AFM?

• Up to 80% better performance than sand
• Self sterilizing does not become biofouled
• Almost eliminate trichloramine and THM`s
• Effective barrier against cryptosporidium
• Reduce Legionella and MRSA  levels
• Excellent for iron and manganese removal
• Lowers DOC (dissolved organic carbon)
• Arsenic removal when combined with NoPhos
• Can remove some toxic prescribed substances
• 70% saving of back-wash water
• Reduce pumping costs (lower delta P)
• 100% environmentally sustainable
• Filter performance is stable and predictable

Up to 80% better performance than sand
