Activated Carbon Filters with Automatic Backwash

AMI Activated Carbon (GAC) filters are used to reduce chlorine, organics, color, tannin, objectionable tastes and odors, and dissolved organic chemicals from municipal and industrial water supplies. Automatic backwashing system removes the trapped contaminants within the filter bed and washes them down the drain. Carbon filtration significantly reduces the following contaminants:

  • Chlorine & Chlorine By-Products such as Trihalomethanes (THMs)
  • Bad Tastes and Odors
  • Turbidity
  • Herbicides, Pesticides & Insecticides
  • Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOCs).

One of the most common applications for activated carbon filters is the reduction of the undesirable tastes and odors present in many chlorinated water supplies. Activated carbon has been successful for many years in the reduction of free chlorine from water supplies. The end product is clean, fresh water with no objectionable taste or odor characteristics. Carbon Backwash Filters are effective in a wide range of applications ranging from pre-treatment for other water purification systems to use as individual treatment equipment for the removal of specific impurities.

Ordering Notes:

  • Carbon Filters are available with USA or European style plugs and voltages. Please add the appropriate voltage code to the end of the model when ordering.
    • 120V AC/60Hz with USA cord = US
    • Example: W-G744ET-US
    • European 220V AC = EU (EU plug is removable to convert into universal 220v cord)
  • 5 gpm per sq. ft. of media is the best design condition for filtration. For relatively clean water, you may go up to design criteria of 15 gpm per sq. ft. Backwash flow rate based on 25 psi pressure drop.
  • Skid mounting, control panel and custom sizes and configurations are available upon request. AMI Auto Backwash Carbon Filters are offered standard with new state of the art electronic programmable valves, but may be ordered with electromechanical Fleck valve heads upon request.
