GAPS Water Treatment filtration

depth filtration
Water Filters - Depth filtration, as the name suggests, is the process of filtering through a depth of media. To obtain retention of particles in the depth media, two events occur known as mechanical and adsorbtive retention.

Water Filters included in this range are Osmonics Purtrex, Hytrex, Selex, Aquatrex, and the revelutionary new Z. plex range of filters. Also included under this heading are Pentek wound, polydepth, polyspun and probond ranges of water filters

surface filtration
As its name implies, a surface filter has a very thin cross-section and retains oversized particles on the upstream side of the media. Surface filters are particularly suited to removing rigid, irregularly shaped particles. These particles accumulate with time and form a cake across the filter pores, but still allow flow through the filter. Descriptions of depth filters and surface filters usually emphasise the extreme characteristics of each. In reality, the filtration process is somewhere on a scale between the two, leaning predominantly to one end or the other. Much of the pleated media used in cartridge filters has some depth characteristics aiding particle retention.

Included in this section are the spin-down centrifuge range, pentek economy pleated range, Pentek lifemax, GE Osmonics Flotrex, GE OSmonics Memtrex and stainless steel cartridges

carbon filtration
The primary functions of activated carbon are the removal of chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), chlorinated hydrocarbons and organic impurities whilst acting as a mechanical filter for particulate reduction due to the cartridge construction.

bag filtration
For years, filter bags have been used as the most economic method of removing bulk particulate. Our recently expanded range of filter bags continues to supply products for consistent performance in these traditional applications. For processes of a more critical nature, technical advances in bag and housing design have led to
new bag filtration products with greater filtration accuracy as well as ease of use.
• New stainless steel housing range
• Economy aluminium and polypropylene housings
• Housings flow rate capacity up to 300m3 per hour
• New ‘super seal’ for superior fitting
• Silicone free bags
• New economy multifilament mesh bags
• New all-polypropylene and polyester ‘snaplok’ bags
• Bags to suit all manufacturers’ housings
• 1 to 1000 micron with 12 grades in between

Stainless steel multi cartridge housings
Common across the range is the availability of: -
o 304L and 316L stainless steel.
o Swing bolt closures as an option up to 12 round and standard onlarger vessels.
o All vessels will accept DOE cartridges with adjustable cartridge sealing, meaning variable length cartridges can be accepted.
o Buna-N FDA grade gaskets can be upgraded where compatibility is required.
o Drain and vent connections.
o Standard finish is polycoat over stainless steel.
o Inlet baffle plate protects cartridge, allowing even flow through all filters.

inline cartridges
The GS inline carbon, sediment and media filters from Pentek are specifically designed for the POU Industry, including Reverse Osmosis, water coolers and vending equipment.
The moulded polypropylene filters are available in both 6" and 10" lengths with a diameter of 2", and 11" and 14" in 2 1/2" diameter. New with John Guest push fittings, this connection is now becoming the popular choice as an addition to the standard threaded fittings in 1/4", 3/8" and 1/4" stem.
The spin welding process used ensures a uniform hermetic seal. GS filters also utilize a computer designed three-phase joint, which tightly compresses the carbon bed, improves overall reliability and increases maximum burst pressure to over 35 bar.
All filtration discs used in GS assemblies are sonic welded in place. By welding, a positive and repeatable seal can be made inside the filter, which will prevent fine sediment bypass.

point-of-use quick connect systems
The most versatile and simplest point-of-use drinking water system for commercial and residential applications. High capacity filtration has been designed into small space-saving cartridges that push and twist into place
enabling exhausted cartridges to be changed in seconds by anyone. There is even a valve that automatically shuts off the water as cartridges are removed. Initial installation is just as simple with 1/4" or 3/8" push fittings, from a choice of 1, 2 or 3 cartridge manifolds.
With 8 cartridges available for the QC, systems can be tailored to suit applications with over 30 logical combinations commonly used.

Three way taps (Tri-flow) and water filter taps
Commercial and residential drinking water systems benefit from an outlet dedicated to filtered water, thus not exhausting cartridge life where a treated supply is not required. These taps offer a stylish solution, the most economic being the mini tap that takes the feed directly from the water filter and dispenses at the side of the basin, with two stainless steel options offering greater style and durability. For a stylish and convenient way of diverting the feed through the existing tap the 'Filter Plus' and Pallas ranges combine traditional hot/cold and filter dispensing, eliminating the need for a third tap. These taps are also suitable for reverse osmosis systems.
