Filters

 

Here at the filters the remaining small light particles are removed from the water. From here the water goes into the clearwell where more chlorine is added along with caustic and zinc orthophosphate (a corrosion inhibitor for the pipe system).

Head Loss Guage

The loss of head guage measures the amount of head loss of the filter. This is the difference in the amount of water coming on top of the filter from the amount coming off the bottom. This enables the operator to ascertain the need for filter washing.
