What Are The Differences between Quartz Sand Filters And Shallow Sand Filters?

Among water filtration equipment, quartz sand filter and shallow sand filter are one of the most common filtration equipment. Both products are popular with customers in various industries because of their high purification rate. So why do some places choose quartz sand filters and others choose shallow sand filters? What are the differences?

Different Filtration Flow Rates: the flow rate of quartz sand filter is generally 10-12m/h, and the flow rate of shallow sand filter is generally 30-50m/h.

Different Application Situations: Quartz sand filters are mainly used for pre-treatment of water treatment turbidity, softened water, electrodialysis, reverse osmosis, and can also be used for surface water, groundwater, etc. It can effectively remove suspended solids, colloids, sediment, etc. in the water. Shallow sand filter is used for bypass filtration treatment of filtration systems for industrial circulating water, air conditioning circulating water, etc.

Maintenance costs are different: Filter manufacturer Nanjing Beite AC Equipment Co.,Ltd. analyzes the cost of the equipment. The cost of ordinary quartz sand filters is about 20% to 40% higher than that of ordinary shallow sand filters. This is mainly because: The cost of a sand filter is much higher than that of a shallow sand filter; the filling depth of the filter material is also different and the specifications of the filter material are also different. The quartz sand filter is filled with several specifications of filter material, while the shallow sand filter is filled with only one type of filter material. The cost will be different when the filter material is replaced during later maintenance.

Both quartz sand filter and shallow sand filter are media filters, which not only have high interception rate, stable operation, are not easy to be damaged, and have a wide range of uses. The main difference between quartz sand filter and shallow sand filter is the structural difference and the main core filtration flow rate is different. The specific use occasion still depends on the needs of the enterprise, and then you can choose the filter equipment that suits you.
