Perlite loading

 

The perlite needs to be changed regularly depending on the bathing load. Typically, the need for change occurs each 10th to 20th day.

 

The perlite is flushed into the sewer whereafter the filter is rinsed with clean water. This means, that the amount of water used for each flush, corresponds to two times of the filter's volume.

 

There are no prohibitions against letting out this water and perlite into public sewerage.

 

Afterwards, when the filter is about to be filled with perlite, it can be done in two ways depending on the size of the plant:

 

For bigger plants, the perlite is delivered in bigbags or a silo wagon. In these occasions, the perlite is automatically/electronically balanced. Through water, the perlite is transported into the filter in a closed system. These systems are customized for the individual projects.

 

Watch some images of the customized closed systems under Automatic perlite loading.

 

The smaller plants are filled with perlite by a vacuum system, where the perlite is sucked directly from a bag into the filter through a hose. (A filter for 200 m³/h flow uses about 20 kg of perlite, which is about 1,5 bags).

Both filling systems are designed in a way that prevents dust from spreading. Therefore, filtration with Defender filters is impeccable as far as the working environment is concerned. This is of course just one of the many benefits that come with the use of Defender filters.
