ContSep and CarSep

No backwashing, no interruptions

ContSep and CarSep are our well-known continuous sand and carbon filters, refined over many years to be truly world class. Unlike conventional filters they work without interruption, and you avoid backwashing and all the equipment it requires.

In ContSep the sand is cleaned in our patented sand washer, and in CarSep the activated carbon is cleaned in a patented washing process. This reduces the need for monitoring, downtime and maintenance, and gives a long service life and excellent treatment results. The filters also save space and energy and are easy to use.
