Low O & M Costs

 
Centra-flo® filters have no mechanical moving parts. On systems designed for gravity feed flow, there are no pumps, valves, or complex control systems. The only operating cost incurred by the customer is the air consumption of the airlift. Each airlift, which continuously circulates spent media to the washbox, consumes between 1 to 3 scfm at 40 psi (1.7 to 5 m3/h at 275 kPa gauge). With quality components designed for longevity and minimal media loss, Centra-flo® systems guarantee customers minimal O & M costs.
 

Centra-flo® filters meet and exceed the most stringent construction requirements in the industry. Blue Water provides the Centra-flo® filter in either fiberglass reinforced plastic or stainless steel for circular above-ground installations and rectangular concrete modules in below-grade hydraulic profiles.
