Aqua-Stream: Maintenance

The Aqua-Stream side-stream filter kills bacteria on contact and removes 95% of suspended particles down to the submicron level (0.5) with minimal maintenance. Its modular design incorporates automated system controls to minimize maintenance tasks and system downtime.

Self-cleaning filters
The cross-flow filters self-clean through automatic backwashing cycles, triggered by particle accumulation. Backwashing typically takes only four to eight minutes and eliminates the need for manual filter cleaning. Backwashing cycles can be adjusted to meet site-specific needs.

No disinfection required
The Aqua-Stream side-stream filter is equipped with Pathex silica filter media. Unlike competitive products, Pathex kills bacteria on contact, meaning there’s typically no need to disinfect the filter media.

Put your shovels away
The one-two punch of filtration and disinfection improves operational efficiency by removing suspended particles and preventing the build-up of biofilm. With Aqua-Stream side-stream filtration, your maintenance team can focus on something other than cleaning out filter bags or shoveling sludge out of cooling tower basins.
