Gravity Retrofits
For Increasing Flow Rates and Effluent Quality
When you need finer particulate filtration and/or greater capacity, Macrolite® Engineered Ceramic Media is an excellent replacement media.
- Superior filtration efficiency
- Can handle 6 to 10 gpm/ft2 flux
- Can consistently maintain turbidity readings under 0.1 NTU, even with weather-induced influent disturbances
Retrofitting your gravity system can be easy
- Macrolite can be used with many of the current underdrains and porous plates used today
- Its backwash rate is equal to its service flow rate of 6 to 10 gpm/ft2, reducing your plumbing and energy requirements
- Since Macrolite media does not abrade like anthracite, it can keep performing for 20+ years with virtually no losses
