gravity filter is a type of filter used in water purification and is commonly used in municipal drinking water facilities as part of a multiple-stage treatment system.
Gravity filters are commonly used in applications where liquid-solids separation is required in a variety of different applications for finish water treatment. Gravity filters can incorporate various types of media such as silica sand, anthracite coal, greensand, and granular activated carbon (GAC) to meet each plants’s water treatment needs. In addition, gravity filters allow for easy inspection during operation and typically have a smaller profile.
