Waterco horizontal water filters now embodying fibreglass winding technology

Waterco's Micron commercial fibreglass filters are known throughout the industry for their impressive performance and reliability. Waterco has incorporated its innovative fibreglass winding techniques to now include its whole range of horizontal filters. Previously gel coated, the fibreglass winding further strengthens the filter vessel structure, so it can now withstand a working pressure of up to 400kPa (58psi).

Micron fibreglass horizontal filters consist of an inner shell of fibreglass reinforced polyester resin over wound with fibreglass filament. Waterco's digitally controlled filament winding machine faultlessly winds continuous strands of fibreglass filament to create a filter vessel with refined consistency and superior quality, built for many years of trouble free operation.

The Micron Horizontal Filter is a space-saving high performer; its compact horizontal design allows installation with minimal waste of space. Its spherical ends are designed to give uniform flow from both inlet and outlet collection assemblies. This system provides adequate distribution to evenly expand the filter bed during backwash and the entire media bed is utilised during the filter cycle.

Waterco's largest fibreglass wound horizontal filter, the MD11000, is capable of filtering 396 m3/hr (6600 lpm) and has a filter area of 11.0m2 and media bed depth of 1.2m. This filter is 5.85m in length and 2.17m in height.
