Brief Description
Description : | This improved version of iron removal technology is designed for community use with a flow rate of around 800 LPH. It uses naturally available materials for iron removal and operates without electricity or chemical inputs, resulting in zero running cost. The system is easy to maintain through backwashing, and the filter media can be reused after cleaning. It can be connected to hand pumps and submersible pumps and provides instant iron-free water.
Key Features: • Flow rate of approximately 800 LPH for community use • Operates without electricity or chemicals • Uses naturally available and reusable filter materials • Maintenance through simple backwashing process • Compatible with hand pumps and submersible pumps • Provides immediate supply of iron-free water |
