AQUA-FILTER HRŪ is a continuous self-cleaning sand filter designed and built to guarantee top quality performance for separation of suspended solids, down to the finest particles.

Impurity separation from the sand media occurs in the exclusive backwashing system. The sand is washed by the upflow inlet raw water, in countercurrent, and then reaches per gravity the top of the sand bed.

AQUA-FILTER HRŪ is easy to install, dependable, suitable for a wide variety of applications.
