How to choose a filter for water wells: selecting options, review manufacturers

Filters are used not only in the auxiliary water supply system. The quality of water is supplied by a central water supply networks, more and more satisfactory from consumers. Impurities, organic compounds, chemical elements adversely affect health. But if the consumer can perform exceptionally clean when using the centralized water supply final stage, by using autonomous systems (wells, wells) purification can be carried out complex.

Drilling and equipping wells experts have to offer the best embodiment of the filters you want to install. But in practice, the main index on which they are based, is the absence of visually observed impurities. It does happen that the choice of the necessary structures is passed on to the well owner. Therefore it is necessary at least in general terms to represent what type of filter will be optimal in a given situation.

types of filters

All used filters can be divided into two groups.

Strainers

Perforated, slotted, mesh mainly used for prefiltration (Cleaning) water from the aquifer.

Are mounted directly in the hole to prevent impurities entering the water intake system (Pipes, pumps).

Fine filters.

These filters must be used to remove water-soluble chemical compounds (Hydrogen sulfide, chlorine, iron, manganese salts, lime), adversely affecting the taste qualities of the water, and may adversely affect health.

Important! Any well must be equipped with additional natural filter made of natural materials different fractions (sand, gravel, crushed stone).

This material is poured after lowering into the well casing. Located between the borehole wall and the outer surface of the casing.

filter Selection

When deciding how to choose a certain design of water treatment systems should be guided by certain nuances.

Influence of terrain variety of accommodation

For the main indicators of selecting pre-filters, which should pay attention to are hydrogeological characteristics of the rocks in the wellsite.

The selection is made based on the fractional composition of the rocks, coming into the well along with the water.

For more fine filter will need to get an expert opinion on the chemical composition of water.

Important! Sampling is performed after pumping wells in a volume of 10 m³ not.

The chemical composition of the water affected by several factors.

These include:

• species characteristics of terms;
• presence near the well sites that can influence the chemical composition of the soil (industrial plants, landfills).

Determination of the height of the filter

Water Filter fitted directly into the well can be a separate element fitted to the lower part of the tubes. A may also be formed on the tube itself. And in fact, and in another case, you need to calculate the height of the filter element design.

reference. The height of the filter element typically is taken from calculating the intended daily debit and thickness of the aquifer. It is determined in the process of drilling a well.

The design should always be located between the sole of the aquifer and the water level (the bottom one-third).

Overview of filters manufactured by different firms

See filters manufacturers, domestic or foreign, should on the basis of several parameters. These include the cost of the product, the complexity of installation and maintenance, parts availability, and warranty periods of operation.

"Aquaphor"

Products "Aquaphor" is available in various designs.

Cumulative (pitchers, dispensers) are equipped with replaceable cartridges. Instruments are convenient and mobile, but do not provide a large bandwidth.

Design flow type able to ensure trouble-free cleaning of the smallest impurities and by the use of replaceable cartridges. And the ability to get rid of the most harmful chemicals.

"FIBOS"

Water Treatment Systems "FIBOS" ( "premium", "MINI", "FIBOS1") flow type with high productivity. Produced using modern high-tech materials for use as cleaning elements (wire coated with fiberglass).

Fully autonomous, equipped with automatic flushing drives, do not require replacement cartridges for a long time (10 years).

«ZEPTER»

It produces extremely high-tech equipment. Proposed models represent multistage flow filtration system with an automated (e) setting the water supply system and control purification.

Distinctive features are the full safety during operation (Protection against leaks, the presence indicating the need to replace the filter element).
