The top 5-10 cm's of wet sand require continuous flow of oxygen rich water. The colloidal and dissolved impurities are removed through a process of adsorption and the organic materials are converted to salt during the same process. The filtered water collects at the bottom of the sand filter through a pipe system. The whole process allows a bio film to form in the fabric filter at the top of the sand bed.
