Your Choice Of Mixed-Media Depth Or Granular Activated Carbon Filters

 

Mixed-media depth filters reduce suspended solids and organics

 

The mixed media, made of specially selected grades of anthracites, sand and garnet materials, offers optimal performance. Coarse, light media stays on top and fine, heavy media remains at the bottom, so different sizes and gravities of filter media materials use the entire depth for retention of solids. The true depth filtration results in longer filter run lengths, higher filtration rates and outstanding water quality.

 

Cullar® granular activated carbon filters dechlorinate and reduce dissolved organics

 

A high-quality granular activated carbon both adsorbs and provides additional filtration. The use of carbon, manufactured from select grades of bituminous coal, results in a high-activity, durable product that stands up to the abrasion associated with repeated backwashing. Carefully controlled activation for an exceptionally high internal surface area with maximum pore size effectively adsorbs a broad range of high and low molecular weight organic compounds.

 

CULLIGAN HI-FLO 2 WATER FILTERS FEATURES

 

• Tripi-Hull™ design filter tanks are built from high grade steel, protected internally with a 20 mil thick vinyl layer and externally by a molded plastic jacket for corrosion resistance. They are designed for up to 100 psi continuous operation, and are individually tested at the factory.

Culligan® Hi-Flo multi-media depth filters (10 models) reduce particulate matter, turbidity, and organics from water faster, more effectively, and more economically than sand or single-media filters. They are suited to a variety of commercial and in- dustrial applications requiring flow rates from 20 to 380 gpm.

 

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

 

• Drinking Water - Reduces turbidity to comply with EPA standards for public drinking water.
• Food and Beverage - Reduces turbidity and suspended solids; improves process water taste.
• Boilers - Reduces turbidity to minimize sludge blowdown. Reduces chemical and heated water
  waste.
• Industrial Process - Reduces particulate matter that erodes nozzles, affects product quality, and causes re-work.
• Pre-treatment - Lowers Silt Density Index (SDI) by reducing colloidal and organic material. Protects costly membranes and resin; helps produce higher quality water.
• Recirculation Systems - Reduces contaminants to permit water reuse and savings on water and
  wastewater discharge bills.
• Tertiary Filtration - Following secondary wastewater treatment for suspended solids reduction.

 

MULTI-MEDIA FILTRATION FOR
GREATER FLOW RATES AND CLARITY
Unlike ordinary filters, which provide effective filtration only in the top few inches of the filter bed, Culligin® Hi-Flo® filters give you maximum filtering efficiency through the entire bed depth.

 

The secret is Culligan's three separate layers of filter minerals, each carefully selected for its precise function. The first layer collects the bulk of coarse turbidity. The middle layer removes smaller particles. Finally, a bottom layer of high-density mineral polishes the water, removing particles down to 10 microns in size.

 

This three stage process gives you greater water clarity, with less pressure drop than ordinary one or two-stage filters. And it allows the filter to run up to 5 times longer between backwashings!

For The Reduction Of Unwanted Iron And Manganese In Water

Cullsorb® filters (10 models) reduce the manganese and iron that cause water to stain fabrics, glassware and fixtures. These filters also reduce trace hydrogen sulfide which is the cause of "rotten egg" smell in water. The process uses both chemical treatment, to precipitate the unwanted minerals, and filtration to trap them. Cullsorb filters are suited to a wide variety of residential, commercial, and industrial applications requiring flow rates of up to several hundred gallons per minute.

 

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS:

 

• Public Drinking Water Treatment
• Apartment Buildings -Reduces stain-causing minerals from well water; reduces staining or discoloration of laundry. Reduces fixture maintenance.
• Restaurants, Hotels -Reduces iron from city water supplies; improves taste of drinking water.
• Commercial laundries, Laundromats -Helps reduce rust spotting that can ruin fabrics.
• Food and Beverage -Improves taste and smell of process water.
• General Industrial -As a pretreatment before other forms of water purification.

 

DUAL-MEDIA FILTRATION, WITH EVEN DISTRIBUTION

 

Cullsorb® filters feature two layers of filter media for optimum filtration efficiency. The top layer consists of large particles of a coarse, light-weight material, which serve to trap the largest mineral particles. A deep bed of fine greensand material is next, which removes the smaller mineral particles, as well as any traces of the oxidizing chemicals used.

 

To help assure effective filtration, each Cullsorb® filter is designed for even distribution of service, backwash, and rinse flows. This is accomplished with multiple layers of graded underbed material, through which water can flow, on top of slotted radial arms which provide even distribution.

 

CHOOSE FROM TWO MODES OF OPERATION

 

Depending on customer need, Cullsorb filters can be operated in two modes. For most applications, the continuous feed mode is preferred. Incoming feed water is pretreated with an oxidizing chemical, usually potassium permanganate. This causes the iron and manganese particles to precipitate, so they can be effectively filtered out. When the pressure drop through the filter has increased (5 to 10 psi) from the accumulation of particles, the filter is backwashed.

 

Some applications, on the other hand, have characteristics that lend themselves to a "batch" mode of operation. In this mode, the filter media is "activated" by the addition of a small amount of potassium permanganate. As the raw water passes through the filter, iron and manganese are removed. In this process, each cubic foot of filter material will remove about 6,000 mg/l before exhaustion. The filter is then regenerated.

 

EASY, AUTOMATIC OPERATION

 

Whether you choose continuous or batch-type operation, both cycles are fully automatic and time-controlled; they can be initiated by timer, or by a pushbutton at time. Optional features include initiation by pressure differential switch or by pre-set volumetric meter. The timer/controllers are UL listed.

 

HEAVY DUTY TANKS

 

All filters have a baked-on phenolic epoxy lining that carries a 5-year limited warranty against internal rust- through. The Hi-FloTM 55 (20" through 42") tank exteriors are sandblasted, primed, and top coat painted for long service and attractive appearance. The Hi-Flo 50 (48" and larger) tank exteriors are sandblasted and primed, and ready to be top-coated by the end user.

 

INSTALLATION

 

All internal components of the Hi-Flo 50 model filters (except the media), face piping and valves are factory assembled. The tankage and the face piping is hydraulically tested before shipment. This factory assembly and testing reduces the installation time and labor and field error.

 

QUALITY CHECKED MEDIA

 

During the service cycle, the filter bed does all of the "work". Culligan inspects all media for compliance with exacting standards. Media is checked for effective particle size, uniformity coefficient and other tests to help assure that each filter works its best for your application.

 

LET YOUR CULLIGAN DEALER HELP

 

With 10 models, plus a wide variety of options, Cullsorb filters can meet a wide range of needs.

To help you select the right combination, we recommend you forward a sample of your water to Culligan through your independently operated Culligan dealer. The water quality analysis will help your Culligan dealer recommend the right Cullsorb filter, mode and chemicals for your needs, as well as allowing the dealer to recommend any other water treatment you may need to produce the water quality you want.

Ironeater chemically removes iron and rust buildup that coats the resin bed and fouls the softener. This iron buildup is not totally removed during normal regeneration of a water softener. Using Ironeater in a water softener will eliminate rust and foreign matter from the resin bed. This increases the life of the softener and reduces rust staining on household fixtures and other surfaces. Use regularly as preventative maintenance to ensure the softening and recharging efficiency of the softeners resin bed.

 

Citric Acid removes iron and other contaminants from fouled water softeners, and increases the capacity and efficiency of the units. Citric Acid should be used as preventative maintenance on all water softeners in areas with moderate iron content. This safe, environmentally-friendly cleaning agent removes hard water spots, lime, rust and scale deposits on general household items.

 

Fer-Sul is a strong oxidizing agent. It converts dissolved iron and/or manganese to insoluble oxides, which can be easily removed by filtration. Fer-Sul regenerates and oxidizes greensand iron filter media. While there are many methods of introducing Fer-Sul to the filter, one method is to make a solution and apply automatically or manually at regular intervals.

 

Mineral Reactivator will chemically clean a fouled resin bed of a water softener and restore the exchange capacity of the resin. Most types of water softening resins can become fouled with iron and other contaminants that will effect the performance of the ion exchange system. Iron fouling can cause channeling, pressure drop, loss of capacity, hardness and iron leakage. Regular use of Mineral Reactivator will minimize fouling and extend the resin life in the water softener.

 

Soda Ash is a higWy alkaline compound which neutralizes the acid found in some water systems. This helps to eliminate corrosion from piping, pressure tanks, water heaters, and fixtures, giving your system longer life. A Soda Ash solution injected into your water system will neutralize acid water and eliminate corrosion problems. Soda Ash can also be used to remove tannins from a tannin-type water softener, and may be used in a potable water system.

 

Polyphosphate sequesters iron and manganese to reduce or eliminate iron staining in potable water, irrigation systems and other areas where unsightly iron staining is to be prevented. Polyphosphate also helps prevent or retard corrosion through the water system, and can be used in the treatment of potable water. This formulation holds the dissolved iron in solution, keeping the water clear, and thus preventing iron staining.
