Complete Media Vessel Types

Explore our complete media vessel systems, supplied as assembled water-treatment packages with an FRP pressure vessel, internal riser and strainer, selected filtration media and either a manual or automatic backwash valve, depending on the model.

Correct vessel selection depends on the water analysis, required service flow, available backwash flow, operating pressure and the contaminants to be treated. Use the categories below to compare the most suitable media vessel type for your application.

Manual or Automatic Backwash?

Manual Backwash

A lower-cost option where the operator manually changes the valve position to backwash and rinse the media. Best suited to installations where regular maintenance can be reliably performed.

Automatic Backwash

A programmable valve carries out scheduled backwash and rinse cycles automatically. This improves consistency and is generally preferred for higher-use, commercial or less frequently attended installations.

Information Required Before Selection

A recent laboratory water analysis
Water source and intended use
Required service flow rate in m³/h
Daily or monthly water consumption
Available inlet pressure and pump capacity
Available backwash flow and suitable drain point
Space, pipe size and electrical supply for automatic valves

Important: Media vessel performance depends on correct water analysis, sizing, pretreatment, oxidation where required, service flow, contact time and backwash conditions. Product recommendations should be confirmed against the complete water quality and installation requirements.
