Sand and gravel is the oldest and most dependable way to take suspended solids and cloudiness out of water. Filter-grade sand sits in the vessel as the working bed and traps fine particles, while graded gravel underneath supports the sand and spreads the flow evenly so nothing washes into the under-drain. This is a different product from ordinary construction sand and gravel. It is washed, graded and chosen specifically for filtration. Water Treatment LLC supplies it for pressure filters, multimedia filters and pre-treatment plants across the UAE.
