The 13x54TC Turbidex Sediment Filter is a high-efficiency water treatment system designed for both industrial and potable water applications. Powered by the reliable Clack WS1 TC Time Clock Filter Valve, this system provides a robust 2.5m³/hr flow rate while utilizing 3rd generation hyper-filtration technology to deliver crystal clear water.
Why Choose Turbidex™ Hyper-Filtration Media?
Turbidex™ is a unique, natural clinoptilolite ore that offers significant performance advantages over traditional filter sand. Its angular, rough surface and microporous structure provide a surface area over 100 times greater than sand.
-
3rd Generation Filtration: Employs mechanical straining, sedimentation, flocculation, physical absorption, electrostatic absorption, and ion exchange.
-
Superior Micron Efficiency: Filters suspended solids down to 3-5 microns, compared to the 12-30 micron limit of standard multi-media filters.
-
Exceptional Water Clarity: Capable of producing water with turbidity levels <0.1 NTU.
-
NSF Certified: Fully certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 61 for public health and safety.
Operational Efficiency & Cost Savings
The 13x54TC system is engineered to reduce your total cost of ownership through high-loading capacity and reduced maintenance.
-
Water Savings: Turbidex™ has a loading capacity up to 2.8 times greater than sand, leading to longer run times and less frequent backwashing.
-
High Flow Rates: Supports nominal service flow rates up to 15-20 gpm/ft² in pressure filters, allowing for high performance in a compact footprint.
-
Lightweight Media: Weighs 50-70% less than traditional media, simplifying installation and reducing freight costs.
-
Downstream Protection: High efficiency reduces costs for chemical dosing and membrane cleaning, while extending the life of downstream cartridges.
