Why is multimedia filtration better than traditional sand filters?

Traditional sand filters are effective to a point, but multimedia filtration offers a major performance upgrade. While sand filters typically rely on a single layer of media, multimedia filters use multiple granular materials, each targeting specific particle sizes. This results in improved filtration depth and higher contaminant removal efficiency.

The key advantage is the longer filtration run time between backwashing cycles. In multimedia systems, the layered approach allows for deeper penetration of water and better distribution of contaminants across the filter bed. This significantly reduces clogging and enhances system longevity.

Another benefit is improved flow rates. Multimedia filters can process a larger volume of water without compromising quality, making them ideal for high-demand applications in hotels, factories, and agricultural settings.
