AquaDiamond Filters (photo) provide the benefit of OptiFiber cloth filtration media in a lower profile, diamond configuration, with several design and performance advantages compared to traveling-bridge-sand filters. These advantages include the following, says the manufacturer: 2–3 times the flow capacity with an equivalent footprint; up to 3 times higher solids loading capabilities per square foot of media; reduced backwash-water volume; an improved drive and tracking system prevents “crabbing”; and lower operation and maintenance costs. These filters can be retrofitted into existing concrete traveling bridge filters, or can be installed in new plants. — Aqua-Aerobic Systems, Inc., Rockford, Ill.
