A sand-anthracite filter or dual media filter/multi-media filter is primarily used for the removal of turbidity and suspended solids as low as 10-20 microns. Dual media filters provide very efficient particle removal under the conditions of high filtration rate. Inside a sand-anthracite filter is a layered bed of filter media.
The bed is graded from bottom to top as follows:
Having the filter media graded this way enables the sand anthracite Filter to run for longer times before a backwash is necessary. A sand anthracite filter or multi-media filter consists of 2 main parts:
• A composite pressure vessel with Multiport Valve.
• Graded beds of sand and anthracite.
Internally, the dual media filter is fitted with an inlet distributor and a bottom Colleting system. Externally, the system is fitted with frontal pipe work and isolation valves. Sand is used to remove the suspended particles and anthracite is used to remove the odor and color etc. to make the water fit for different applications. Gravels and pebbles are provided to support to both the media. Periodically, the sand-anthracite filter will backwash, which changes the water flow through the sand-anthracite filter.
Applications:
• Side stream filtration of cooling tower
• Potable water treatment
• Waste Water treatment
• Boiler feed water
Salient Features:
▪ High Filtration efficiencies
▪ Filter up to 10 - 20 Microns
▪ FRP, MSRL, MSEP & SS Vessel available.
▪ Standard and effective sand- anthracite media
▪ Low Pressure drop across the vessel
▪ Air scouring available for high flow pressure vessel
▪ Manual, Semi Automatic and Automatic features are provided
A dual pump and filter system are ran by connecting them in parallel. Each pump is connected to the feel supply when then in turn is sent out of its own filter.
Purchase an outside power filter (try one of the newer biowheel filters), make sure it is the correct size for your tank. A canister filter is the best kind. It works the best, and you can change the filter media around to suit your needs.

"Dual product markets is an economic concept referring to the two layers of sale that occur in media industries: a media company offers a media product to an audience, although the economic transaction comes from selling the audience to an advertiser."

A media change involves changing out the 'stuff'(media) inside your filter. Changing carbon, fine filter pads, cleaning sponges, and rinsing biological media are all examples of media change in an aquarium.

The denser the media the less airflow through it.
